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