More Offhand Slots

A (neo)forge mod that adds additional offhand slots using the Curios API, allowing players to cycle through items with customizable keybinds. Also available on CurseForge.

Features

• Adds additional offhand slots to the player (default: 3, configurable)
• Cycle through items with customizable keybinds
• Visual indicator showing previous and next items in the cycle
• Config options to customize the mod for your needs (see option below)

Usage

Default Controls

• Mouse Button 5: Cycle forward through offhand items
• Mouse Button 4: Cycle backward through offhand items
• Shift: The scroll wheel modifier

You can rebind these keys in the Minecraft controls menu.

Visual Indicator

When you have items in your offhand slots, a visual indicator appears near your hotbar showing:

• Your current offhand item in the center, this is the vanilla offhand slot
• The previous item in the cycle on the left
• The next item in the cycle on the right

This makes it easy to see what item you'll get when cycling forward or backward.

Configuration

More Offhand Slots configs

The mod can be configured by editing the moreoffhandslots-client.toml file in the config folder (or by using Configured or any similar mod in-game). The following options are available:

cycleEmptySlots If true, empty slots will be included when cycling through offhand items.

renderEmptyOffhand If true, the visual indicator will be always rendered, even when no item is equipped in the offhand.

scrollMode Three options are available:

• VANILLA: Default Minecraft behavior (scroll cycles hotbar slots)
• OFFHAND_ONLY: Scroll wheel always cycles through offhand slots
• MAINHAND_WITH_MODIFIER: Normally cycles offhand, but cycles hotbar when modifier key is held.
• OFFHAND_WITH_MODIFIER: Normally cycles hotbar, but cycles offhand when modifier key is held.

invertScrollDirection If true, the scroll wheel will cycle through offhand items in the opposite direction.

Curios configs

If you want to change the number of offhand slots, you can do so by editing the curios-common.toml file. For example:

slots = ["id=offhand;size=8"]

Known Issues & Bugs

• When using Better Combat and adding a two handed weapon to the offhand, cycling through it may cause the weapon to disappear completely.

Resource Packs

The visual indicator uses the default Minecraft textures for the offhand slots. I intentionally avoided using custom textures to keep the mod compatible with resource packs.
