Name Of Suggestion: Better Hotkeys Mod

Detailed Description Of Suggestion: Minecraft handles hotkeys differently from many other games, not letting you bind keys to specific items but rather to specific hotbar slots. This forces player to, whenever they get new items they're used to having in specific slots, open their inventories to reorganize their hotbar which often requires multiple steps and can be rather messy. With an option to bind a key to a specific item in your hotbar (as having it bring up an item from your inventory would be an unfair advantage) players could bypass this limitation and know that, as long as the item is in their hotbar, they can simply press the key their muscle memory leads them to and be ok.

Practical use cases of this idea include for example pearl clutching. If i bind my pearl to "x" even though x would normally bring me to my 4th inventory slot, it would bring me to my 9th inventory slot in the case of my pearl being in the 9th slot.

this is a link showcasing the problem this would solve. As it can be seen starting from 0:06, I've had to swap my items around my hotbar so they'd be on my preferred hotkeys which i have developed muscle memory for during thousands of hours of gameplay. This process, which in the clip took about a second, can get quite intricate and messy when several new items are bought at once and could be avoided if i could just bring up my fireball charge or blocks with F and 4 as i normally would, without having to move them to a specific slot first.

great idea i just dont see how that would be a thing

#

like do you think it's hard to implement?

balmy thicket
#

i mean is it that you want certain items to go to certain slots?

#

or adaptive slot key binding

#

adaptive slot binding sounds closer but making certain items go to certain slots achieves the same result

#

like i go in the mod's settings i tell it i want x to be my pearl i press x and if a pearl is in my hotbar no matter which slot then that's the slot that will be selected after i press x

#

the first one would have to be a hypixel thing

#

the seccond one idk

#

okay then i'm unsure of what adaptive slot key binding is meant to be but my idea can 100% be implemented client side

balmy thicket
#

meaning it would adapt to where the item is

odd pendant
#

i don't see how it would have to be an hypixel thing, the client knows where the item is

balmy thicket
#

im saying if items were to go to specific slots

odd pendant
#

oooooo

#

ok ok i understand what you mean now

balmy thicket
odd pendant
#

that's why i said the client should change which slot is selected

#

cuz that's actually doable

balmy thicket
#

no hypixel can do it

#

thats how the inventory thing in the quick buy

odd pendant
#

i know but they haven't done it in several years of the communty asking and a client side mod would work in every game in every server
