Shifty Hotbar

Shifty Hotbar

A fully client-side utility mod that implements the hotbar shifting ability, inspired by Stardew Valley.

I know that there are mods like this in the wild, but none of them did suit me whatsoever. Therefore, I made the ultimate version that consists of every feature a mod like this can possibly provide:

• You can shift inventory rows in both directions (Up Arrow and Down Arrow by default)
• You can shift inventory columns in both directions (Right Arrow and Left Arrow by default)
• You can shift slots in your hotbar in both directions
• You can shift slots in the selected column in both directions
• You can shift rows, columns and slots via mouse scroll while pressing a modifier key (Left Alt by default)
• You can quickly shift to a row, a column, or a slot via hotbar hotkeys (1...9) while pressing a modifier key (Left Alt by default)

Key Binds

Key binds can be configured just like vanilla ones:

• Go to Options...
• Select Controls...
• Then choose Key Binds...
• Scroll down to the Shifty Hotbar section

| Name | Description | Default |
| —- | ———– | ————- |
| Row modifier | When pressed, it allows you to shift rows instead of choosing a slot via mouse scroll/hotkeys (1...9) | Left Alt |
| Previous row | Shifts all rows in your inventory so that the topmost row in your inventory becomes the hotbar | Down Arrow |
| Next row | Shifts all rows in your inventory so that the row above your hotbar becomes the hotbar | Up Arrow |
| Row-in-column modifier | When pressed, it allows you to shift slots in the selected column instead of choosing one via mouse scroll | |
| Previous row-in-column | Shifts all slots in the selected column so that the topmost slot in your inventory becomes the hotbar slot | |
| Next row-in-column | Shifts all slots in the selected column so that the slot above your hotbar slot becomes the hotbar slot | |
| Column modifier | When pressed, it allows you to shift columns instead of choosing a slot via mouse scroll/hotkeys (1...9) | |
| Previous column | Shifts all columns in your inventory so that the slot before your selected slot becomes the selected slot | Left Arrow |
| Next column | Shifts all columns in your inventory so that the slot after your selected slot becomes the selected slot | Right Arrow |
| Column-in-row modifier | When pressed, it allows you to shift slots in the hotbar instead of choosing one via mouse scroll | |
| Previous column-in-row | Shifts all slots in your hotbar so that the slot before your selected slot becomes the selected slot | |
| Next column-in-row | Shifts all slots in your hotbar so that the slot after your selected slot becomes the selected slot | |

Config

If you have Cloth Config installed, you can customize the behavior of the mod. A config is usually located at ./config/shifty_hotbar.json and by default looks like this:

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

| Name | Description | Default value |
| —- | ———– | ————- |
| invertRowScroll | Inverts mouse scroll when row or row-in-column modifier is pressed | false |
| invertColumnScroll | Inverts mouse scroll when column or column-in-row modifier is pressed | false |

You can edit any of these values directly in the config file or via ModMenu.
