About this project
What does Tenth Slot add?

Ever found yourself frantically clearing out a hotbar slot just to free up your hands? Tenth Slot solves that instantly. It adds a permanent, always-empty tenth slot to your hotbar, giving you a dedicated bare-hand position that is always one keypress or scroll away. No more juggling items, no more accidental placements, no more interrupting your flow just to swing an empty fist. It fits seamlessly into the vanilla HUD as if it were always there, and stays completely out of your way until you need it.
| FEATURES |
|---|
| Tenth Hotbar Slot | Adds a permanent tenth slot displayed as an extension of the vanilla hotbar HUD |
|---|---|
| Empty Hand Toggle | The tenth slot is a dedicated empty hand position that always shows a bare hand with no item model |
| Permanently Locked Empty | The tenth slot can never hold an item. Items picked up from the ground, received from containers, or inserted via commands are automatically redirected to other available slots |
| HOW TO USE |
|---|
- Scrolling up slot 1 and down slot 9 goes to the tenth slot.
- Jump directly to the tenth slot by pressing
.
| CONFIGURATION |

Mod Menu Settings:
| Show Only When Hotbar Is Full | When enabled, the tenth slot is only shown when all 9 hotbar slots are occupied |
|---|---|

| Vanilla Non-Item Right Click | When disabled, non-item right-click interactions are blocked while the tenth slot is selected (opening doors, mounting, trading, opening block GUIs, etc.) |
| Vanilla Left Click | When disabled, left-click interactions are blocked while the tenth slot is selected (attacking entities, breaking blocks) |
