OnlyHotbar

OnlyHotbar is a simple lightweight plugin that completely restricts the player's inventory, leaving only the 9 hotbar slots available for regular item storage and gameplay.

Armor slots, the offhand slot and the entire 2x2 crafting area remain fully accessible and work exactly like in normal gameplay.
