Farla's Hotbar Optimizer

Farla's Hotbar Optimizer is a modern continuation of Dokko's Hotbar Optimizer, rebuilt for Minecraft 26.1.2 with improved runtime handling, adaptive safe mode, and lightweight client-side hotbar synchronization.

⚡ What does the mod do?

In vanilla Minecraft, when you switch hotbar slots, your client waits up to 50ms (one game tick) before sending the update to the server.

Farla's Hotbar Optimizer reduces that delay by synchronizing slot changes earlier, helping hotbar actions feel faster and more consistent during gameplay.

This can improve:

• ghost totem consistency
• fast item swapping
• crystal PvP responsiveness
• general hotbar reliability

Spoiler

📊 Improvements

Scenario	Vanilla	Farla's Hotbar Optimizer
Hotbar synchronization delay	~50ms	Near-instant
Ghost totem consistency	Standard	Improved
Fast item swaps	Vanilla timing	More responsive
Crystal PvP swapping	Delayed at times	More consistent
Inventory responsiveness	Vanilla	Improved

🛡️ Ghost Totem Reduction

Because the server receives slot updates earlier, the amount of time where the server may not correctly recognize your held item is reduced.

Low ping (~20ms)

• Noticeably improves swap consistency
• Reduces ghost totem situations significantly

Higher ping (~150ms)

• Still improves synchronization timing
• Helps reduce delayed item recognition

⚔️ Better Swapping

Quick swaps for:

• totems
• swords
• crystals
• utility items

feel smoother and more responsive compared to vanilla behavior.

🚀 Lightweight

Farla's Hotbar Optimizer is:

• client-side only
• lightweight
• focused on a single feature
• designed with minimal runtime overhead

No unnecessary UI changes or bundled features.

⚠️ Compatibility Notice

Farla's Hotbar Optimizer modifies how hotbar slot synchronization is handled between the client and server.

While the mod is designed to remain lightweight and minimally invasive, behavior may vary depending on:

• server software
• anti-cheat configuration
• latency conditions
• custom server rules

Some servers may restrict or disallow modifications affecting inventory or hotbar synchronization behavior.

Users are responsible for ensuring the mod is permitted on servers they join.
