Dual Hotbars Mod gives you an 18 slot hot bar. If you’ve ever been in a situation where you’ve run out of tool space in your hotbar, then this mod may be a great asset to you. It’s incredibly simple, but the uses far outweigh its simplicity. By default, this is rendered as two rows of 9 but can be changed to be 1 row of 18. The upper slot is taken from your top row of inventory items. There are three ways to select an item in the nine new slots:
- Scroll the mouse wheel.
- Double-tap the number key for the slot below it (i.e., double-tap ‘1’ for the 10th slot).
- Hold a modifier key while pressing the number key (ctrl by default)
Dual Hotbars provides two options to choose from. You can have your hotbar be a little more compact by putting one on top of the other. Or you can spread the hotbar across your screen to be longer but will take up less screen real estate.
Maybe you’re now wondering how you can access the spaces in the hotbar if your keyboard only goes up to 9? Well, you double-tap the number or use a combination such as CTRL + desired number. Of course, you can also continue to use the scroll wheel on your mouse to cycle through items.
