About 

Ever got into a stressful situation and accidentally dropped one of your hotbar items? Well, we all know this.
But that does not have to be one of these well known "that's-just-how-it-is" cases.

With HotbarLock, you can lock or unlock your hotbar slots just by pressing a key.
Every slot can be locked or unlocked separately!

HotbarLock is forge-based and a client-side mod, which means, you can use it on servers that don't have it installed!

A simple and small GUI over your hotbar helps you to always know which slots are currently locked.
Of course this GUI can be disabled in the mod config!



Better Accessibility

HotbarLock has some very helpful config options to make your life a little easier.

Colorblind Mode
The colorblind mode changes the red GUI color for locked slots to pink for better visiblity.



Chat Output
By enbaling the chat output, you will receive a chat message when locking or unlocking a hotbar slot.
This gives you the ability to disable the GUI and keep knowing which slot got locked or unlocked.



Locking a Hotbar Slot

Locking a slot is very easy and can be done by just pressing a hotkey. The default key for toggling a slot is "R" and can be changed in the controls settings.


Mod Configuration

The mod config is located at ".minecraft/config/hotbarlock/config.txt" and can be edited with a simple text editor.
A minecraft restart is needed after changing options in the config.


Modpacks

HotbarLock can be freely used in modpacks without any special requirements.


History of HotbarLock

The *original* HotbarLock mod was released back in 2018.
This version was also coded and released by me, but I forgot about my old account on CurseForge and now the account seems to be deleted.

I decided to completely rewrite the mod and upload it to my new account, because the first version was very badly coded and I would not recommend this thing to anyone..
