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

Name	Description	Default
Row modifier	When pressed, it allows you to shift rows instead of choosing a slot via mouse scroll/hotkeys (1...9)	Left Alt

Next row	Shifts all rows in your inventory so that the row above your hotbar becomes the hotbar	Up Arrow
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
Next column	Shifts all columns in your inventory so that the slot after your selected slot becomes the selected slot	Right Arrow
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

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 and by default looks like this:

{
  "invertRowScroll": false,
  "invertColumnScroll": false
}

Name	Description	Default value
invertRowScroll	Inverts mouse scroll when row or row-in-column modifier is pressed	false
invertColumnScroll	Inverts mouse scroll when column or column-in-row modifier is pressed	false

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