About this Mod
Async hotbars is a lightweight client-side mod that reduces lag caused by hotbar and inventory updates.
Some players experience stuttering or short freezes when opening or saving to the hotbar.
This mod improves how hotbar updates are handled on the client by preloading the hotbar and running the save function asynchronously to make the inventory feel smoother and more responsive.

Does Async Hotbars need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Async Hotbars as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Async Hotbars require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Async Hotbars is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
