About this project
What does Hotbar Only add?
It does what it says on the can.
I could not find a mod like this for Fabric or Java 1.21.1, so I decided to throw one together myself. The inventory locking mechanic can be toggled with the command:
/gamerule hotbarOnly true/false
Do note, there is a bug where the inventory slots remain red after toggling off, but if you toggle on and off again, it should clear up. Otherwise, the bug is purely cosmetic.
I do not plan on porting this mod to newer versions or alternative mod loaders. If you want that, you are more that welcome to extract my mod and do it yourself.Enjoy!-JBR (MissMixOinky)
