Description
Double Hotbar 9 + 9 — Instant Inventory Row Swap!
Running out of hotbar space while building, mining, or fighting? Double Hotbar makes 18 existing inventory slots quickly accessible by exchanging your 9 active hotbar slots with the 9 slots in the top row of your main inventory in a split second—without ever opening your inventory
Runs 100% on the stable Script API (Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.90+).
-
No Cheats Required for gesture controls! Achievements stay active!
-
Automatic Language Support: Automatically displays texts in English or German (en_US / de_DE) based on each player's individual client language.
Smart Controls (Automatic Input Detection)
The add-on automatically detects your active input device (even when switching mid-game) and adapts the swap gesture:
-
Touch (iOS / Android) & Keyboard (PC):
-
Switch to Hotbar B: Double-tap Right (D-Pad Right / Joystick Right / D key) within 1 second.
-
Return to Hotbar A: Double-tap Left (D-Pad Left / Joystick Left / A key) within 1 second.
-
-
Controller (Console / Gamepad):
-
Toggle A ↔ B: Double-press your assigned Sneak button within 1 second (moving the analog stick sideways will never accidentally trigger a swap!).
-
Before: visible hotbar [ A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 ]
inventory row [ B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 ]
↓ (Double-Tap Right / Double-Press Sneak)
After: visible hotbar [ B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 ]
inventory row [ A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 ]
Key Features & Safety
-
100% Safe Item Handling: Uses native Container.swapItems calls. All custom names, enchantments, durability, shulker contents, and item data stay completely intact in your normal inventory (no hidden entities or external databases).
-
Maximum Compatibility: Does not override player.json or replace HUD files—combine it seamlessly with almost any other add-on or texture pack.
-
Multiplayer & Server Ready: Every player swaps only their own inventory and sees messages in their own language. Includes a 0.6s cooldown and analog stick jitter protection.
Optional Commands (Requires Command Permissions)
