HotSwap

HotSwap is a lightweight, client-side Minecraft mod that automatically selects the optimal tool or weapon in your hotbar based on what you’re doing—be it mining,
chopping, fighting, or digging. By leveraging Minecraft’s built-in item tags,
HotSwap ensures you always have the right tool in hand without manual inventory juggling.

🚀 Features

Context-Aware Swapping
Automatically switches to the “best” tool in your hotbar for the block you’re breaking or mob you’re hitting, based on enchantments and material tiers.
Customizable Priority
Define your own tag priorities and blacklists in hotswap.json5 to fine-tune which tools should be preferred or skipped.
On-the-Fly Enable/Disable
Toggle HotSwap with a single keybind (default: H). When disabled, your hotbar remains unchanged.
Lightweight & Non-Invasive
No extra GUIs or big configuration menus—just an easy-to-edit JSON5 file and a small, performant mod jar.

🎯 Installation

Install Fabric (or Forge, depending on build) for Minecraft 1.20+
Download the latest HotSwap-x.y.z.jar from Modrinth.
Copy the jar into your Minecraft mods/ folder.
Launch Minecraft with the Fabric (or Forge) profile.

🎮 Usage

Toggle — press your configured toggle key (default ;) to enable or disable HotSwap.
Mine or Chop — break a block; HotSwap will swap in your best pickaxe/axe/shovel according to the tags in your hotbar.
Fight — left-click a mob; HotSwap will switch to the highest-damage sword or tool.
Return — once the action ends (block broken or mob dead), your previous hotbar slot is restored automatically.
