Description

Smooth Hotbar

Smooth Hotbar improves the Minecraft hotbar by replacing the instant slot switch with a smooth animated transition.

Instead of the selection frame instantly jumping to another slot, it smoothly slides to the newly selected slot while preserving the vanilla look and feel.

This is a lightweight client-side mod focused entirely on visual polish.

Features

  • Smooth hotbar selection animation
  • Adjustable animation duration (0.10–1.00 seconds)
  • Multiple animation styles:
    • Linear
    • Smooth
    • Ease Out
    • Ease In Out
    • Spring
    • Bounce
  • Toggle the animation with the H key
  • In-game configuration screen
  • Settings are automatically saved
  • Lightweight client-side implementation
  • Vanilla-friendly design

Compatibility

  • Minecraft 1.20.1
  • Minecraft Forge
  • Java 17

Compatible with most client-side mods since it only changes the hotbar animation.

About

Smooth Hotbar does not change gameplay mechanics or provide any gameplay advantages. It simply makes switching hotbar slots feel smoother and more polished while keeping the Minecraft interface familiar and unobtrusive.
