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 ArrowandDown Arrowby default) - You can shift inventory columns in both directions (
Right ArrowandLeft Arrowby 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
modifierkey (Left Altby default) - You can quickly shift to a row, a column, or a slot via hotbar hotkeys (
1...9) while pressing amodifierkey (Left Altby 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 Hotbarsection
