Adds more offhand slots that you can cycle through using keybinds.
I don't know my version or loader
Ever wished you could have more than one offhand item? Now you can!
⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
Updating from a Curios-based version? This mod has migrated from Curios to a new custom slot system (SlotLib). When updating, items stored in your offhand Curios slots may be lost!
Curios will attempt to return items to your main inventory when its slots are removed, but if your inventory is full, those items will be deleted permanently.
Before updating: Empty your offhand slots manually, or make sure you have plenty of free inventory space. Back up your world save just in case!
What Does This Mod Do?
More Offhand Slots gives you extra offhand slots that you can cycle through with keybinds or the scroll wheel. Equip a shield, a torch, a totem, and a map all in your offhand -- and swap between them instantly!
No more digging through your inventory mid-combat to switch your offhand item.
✨ Features
🖐️ Multiple Offhand Slots Hold up to 9 items in your offhand (default: 3). Cycle between them with Mouse Button 4/5, or configure the scroll wheel to do it for you.
👁️ Visual Indicators See what's coming next! Choose from four indicator styles to keep track of your offhand items:
- Default - Clean indicator showing previous and next items
- Detailed - Shows item counts alongside the indicator
- Vanilla - Keeps the vanilla offhand look, functionality stays
- Hotbar - A full hotbar for your offhand, just like the main hand
🖱️ Scroll Wheel Modes Pick the control scheme that works for you:
- Vanilla - Scroll works normally, use keybinds for offhand
- Offhand Only - Scroll always cycles offhand items
- With Modifier - Hold a key to switch between scrolling hotbar or offhand
🎨 Fully Customizable
- Reposition the HUD indicator with X/Y offsets
- Center-align the hotbar when using many slots
- Toggle cycling through empty slots
- Invert scroll direction
