About this project

What does Auto Hotbar add?

AutoHotbar

Fabric mod for setting up your hotbar with priority rules. Press a key, items snap into place.

How it works

Open H → Simple → New Layout → Use Current Hotbar & Offhand to turn what you’re carrying into a saved item (rule system). The items doesn't have to match exact enchants or material unless specified.

Nerd Stuff

Each hotbar slot and offhand gets a list of rules ordered by priority. Hit the keybind and the mod swaps stuff around to match.

Rules can be:

  • a specific item, with optional enchant requirements
  • a weapon category (best sword, fastest pickaxe, density mace, etc.)
  • a conditional: if slot 5 rule 1 matched then use S1R1 else next rule
  • empty (leaves the slot blank)

Modes

Auto swaps your hotbar instantly when you press the key.

Manual does not touch the hotbar. Pressing the key arms an overlay. Next time you open your inventory, matching items get tinted and labeled with the hotbar key they should go to. You move them yourself.

Creative mode In Simple Auto, it can create the layout’s items if you are in creative so if you have a crystal or mace or any kit saved you can easily get the items of that layout via this mod they will be already enchanted with full enchants.

Simple vs Complex

Complex is one big rule set.

Simple is layouts. Make a crystal layout, a mining layout, a uhc layout, whatever. Each one has its own 9 slots of rules and a custom item icon. Press the key and a 3x3 wheel opens.

Merging Merge simple layouts into a complex one. make sure to set the priority right and set a core item that's unique to that kit. when you merge, the rearrange hotbar hotkey will auto detect the kit you are playing and rearrange it according to that

Weapon types

ALWAYS USE THE WEAPON TYPE RULE IF AVAIBLE

These include:

Sword, axe, pickaxe, shovel, hoe, bow, crossbow, mace, trident, spear (1.21.11), block, rail.

Variants include Best, Highest Durability, Fastest, Best Material, Density, Breach, Lunge, Loyalty, Riptide, Channeling, Impaling, Hardest, Softest, Most Amount, Blast Resistant, Luminous.

Keys

  • R: rearrange / arm overlay
  • H: open config

Rebindable under Controls.

Commands: /autohotbar arrange|config|toggle|reload|help
