Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.20
Minecraft 1.19.4
Minecraft 1.19.3
Minecraft 1.19.2
Minecraft 1.19
Minecraft 1.18–1.18.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

📖 About

Adds Stardew Valley-inspired hotbar cycling to navigate your inventory without ever opening it!

This mod adds 2 new keybinds:

Swap Hotbar (Default 'H'): Shifts all your inventory rows downwards, allowing you to cycle through each row.
Swap Slot (Default 'J'): Shifts a single column of your inventory downwards (the hotbar slot you have selected).

Additionally, there is Hold-and-Scroll mode: Instead of clicking a keybind to cycle the hotbar/slot, hold the button and use your scroll-wheel to cycle!

There are also config options for reversing the cycle order, enabling sounds, and enabling individual rows/columns for cycling through mod menu + cloth config.

💡 Installation

This mod requires Fabric API! Get it here.

This mod is client-side! It will work on any server you join even if the server doesn't have it.

In fact, installing this mod on a server will do absolutely nothing.
