About this Mod
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

📊 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.
