About this project
What does HotSwap add?

HotSwap
HotSwap is a small, simple mod for Minecraft Forge which adds hotkeys and mouse controls to quickly switch out hotbar items from other rows in your inventory. You can switch out either the selected slot or the entire hotbar.
HotSwap can be a lighter, simpler substitute for other inventory management mods, with minimal impact on the rest of the game. Since 0.2 HotSwap is compatible with Inventory Tweaks!
Controls
- J and K (default): cycle the current slot down or up
- H and L (default): cycle the hotbar down or up
- Alt + MWheel: cycle the current slot down or up
- Ctrl + Alt + MWheel: cycle the hotbar down or up
- Alt + 0-9: swap hotbar slot with current slot (since 0.3)
Known Incompatibilities
Inventory Tweaks: Auto-refill will automatically move items when switching(#1, fixed since 0.2)
