Gräf Dual Hotbar

GRÄF DUAL HOTBAR – Double Your Quick Access!

Two hotbars. 18 quick-access slots. One simple control!

Gräf Dual Hotbar is a lightweight Minecraft Bedrock Edition add-on that allows players to switch between two independent hotbars, each containing 9 item slots.

Instead of constantly opening your inventory to change tools, weapons, food, or building materials, you can quickly switch between two different sets of items by pressing the crouch button twice.

The add-on preserves Minecraft’s original interface while making inventory management faster, easier, and more convenient.

MAIN FEATURES

1. Two Independent Hotbars

Gräf Dual Hotbar introduces a second set of 9 hotbar slots.

• Hotbar 1: Your original 9 Minecraft hotbar slots.
• Hotbar 2: An additional set of 9 quick-access slots.
• Switch between both hotbars whenever needed.
• Each hotbar maintains its own items.
• The second hotbar starts empty and can be organized independently.
• Only one hotbar is displayed at a time.

This gives players access to 18 hotbar positions across two switchable sets without modifying the original inventory interface.

2. Simple Double-Crouch Controls

Switching between hotbars is quick and intuitive.

How to switch:

1. Press the crouch/sneak button twice quickly.
2. The add-on detects the double input.
3. Your currently active hotbar is replaced by the other set of 9 slots.
4. Repeat the action to return to your previous hotbar.

The double-crouch detection uses a short input window of approximately 1.2 seconds.

No additional on-screen buttons or complicated menus are required.

3. Preserve Your Items

The add-on is designed to preserve complete Minecraft item data when switching hotbars.

This includes important item properties such as:

• Item types and quantities.
• Durability.
• Enchantments.
• Custom item names.
• Supported item data and properties.

Each hotbar retains its own set of items, allowing players to organize equipment without manually moving everything between inventory slots.

4. Original Minecraft Interface

Gräf Dual Hotbar maintains the familiar Minecraft Bedrock appearance.

The add-on does not replace or redesign:

• The original hotbar interface.
• The inventory screen.
• Armor slots.
• The off-hand slot.
• Existing inventory menus.
• The game’s HUD.

Instead, the add-on works through a scripted hotbar-switching system.

Players continue using Minecraft’s familiar interface while gaining a second quick-access item set.

5. Perfect for Survival Gameplay

Organize equipment for different activities.

Example – Combat Hotbar:

• Sword.
• Bow.
• Shield-related supplies.
• Food.
• Potions.
• Emergency equipment.

Example – Building and Mining Hotbar:

• Pickaxe.
• Axe.
• Shovel.
• Building blocks.
• Torches.
• Other construction materials.

Switch between your combat equipment and building tools without repeatedly rearranging your hotbar.

This is especially useful during mining, exploration, construction, and survival adventures.

6. Useful for Creative Mode

Creative players can organize different building materials into separate hotbars.

For example:

Hotbar 1: Stone, wood, bricks, and structural blocks.

Hotbar 2: Glass, lighting, decorative blocks, and landscaping materials.

Switch between material groups to simplify large construction projects.

7. Mobile-Friendly Controls

Gräf Dual Hotbar is designed with Minecraft Bedrock players in mind.

The add-on includes double-sneak input detection and a touch-friendly fallback mechanism.

Players can switch hotbars using the existing crouch control without installing additional interface buttons.

8. Multilingual In-Game Guide

The add-on includes a written Minecraft guide explaining how to use its features.

The guide supports six languages:

• English
• Portuguese
• Spanish
• French
• Japanese
• Chinese (Mandarin)

Each player receives the guide once per world.

If the player’s inventory is full, the guide can be dropped nearby for collection.

This helps new players understand how to activate and use the second hotbar.

9. Lightweight Behavior Pack

Gräf Dual Hotbar uses a Behavior Pack with Minecraft Bedrock scripting functionality.

It does not require custom HUD textures or a Resource Pack.

The system focuses on hotbar management rather than replacing the game’s inventory mechanics.

HOW DOES THIS ADD-ON CHANGE GAMEPLAY?

Normally, Minecraft Bedrock Edition provides one hotbar with 9 quickly accessible item slots.

When players need different tools or materials, they must open their inventory and manually rearrange items.

Gräf Dual Hotbar improves this experience by allowing players to maintain two different hotbar configurations.

For example, a player exploring a cave can keep weapons, food, and survival equipment in the first hotbar while storing mining tools and building materials in the second.

With two quick crouch inputs, the player can switch between these configurations.

This reduces repetitive inventory management and makes switching between activities more convenient.

Important: The add-on does not expand the standard inventory screen. It provides a second switchable hotbar set while keeping the original Minecraft interface.
