Shifty Hotbar

Transform Your Inventory Management

This client-side Minecraft mod offers a revolutionary approach to hotbar management, inspired by mechanics from Stardew Valley. If standard inventory navigation methods feel limiting to you, Shifty Hotbar provides complete control over item movement.

Core Features

The mod allows shifting inventory contents in any direction:

• Row shifting - move entire inventory rows up and down
• Column shifting - move columns left and right
• Hotbar slot shifting - cyclically move slots on the hotbar
• Selected column shifting - move slots only within a specific column

Mouse and Keyboard Control

Use mouse wheel with modifiers for quick access:

• Scrolling while holding a modifier key allows shifting rows, columns, or individual slots
• Hotkeys 1-9 with modifier instantly switch to desired row, column, or slot

Control Configuration

All keys are configurable through standard Minecraft control settings:

1. Open "Options"
2. Select "Controls"
3. Go to "Key Binds"
4. Find the "Shifty Hotbar" section

Available actions for configuration:

• Row modifier - switching between rows during scroll/hotkeys
• Previous/next row - shifting inventory rows
• Column modifier - switching between columns
• Previous/next column - shifting inventory columns
• Slot modifiers - fine-tuning individual slot movement

Additional Settings

With Cloth Config installed, additional configuration parameters are available. The settings file is located at ./config/shifty_hotbar.json:

{
  "invertRowScroll": false,
  "invertColumnScroll": false
}

• invertRowScroll - inverts scroll direction for rows
• invertColumnScroll - inverts scroll direction for columns

Settings can be edited directly in the configuration file or through ModMenu.
