Description from the author on Modrinth

Fast hotbar

Fast hotbar is a simple client side mod that optimizes the hotbar by sending selected slots to the server sooner, reducing server synchronization delay and allowing for faster and more responsive hotbar selection under high latency.

Use cases

  • Less chance of 'ghost totems' - Totems are much less likely to not activate due to the server seeing the input sooner.
  • Better attribute swapping consistency on slow connections.

Disclaimer

This mod is not intended for use in PVP scenarios as it may be considered a competitive advantage. Anti cheat hotbar checks may flag this.
