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

Available key binds:

• Row modifier - when pressed, it allows you to shift rows instead of choosing a slot via mouse scroll/hotkeys (1...9) (Left Alt by default)
• Previous row - shifts all rows in your inventory so that the topmost row in your inventory becomes the hotbar (Down Arrow by default)
• Next row - shifts all rows in your inventory so that the row above your hotbar becomes the hotbar (Up Arrow by default)
• 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 by default)
• Next column - shifts all columns in your inventory so that the slot after your selected slot becomes the selected slot (Right Arrow by default)
• 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.

• invertRowScroll - inverts mouse scroll when row or row-in-column modifier is pressed (false by default)
• invertColumnScroll - inverts mouse scroll when column or column-in-row modifier is pressed (false by default)

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