Disable Hotbar Scrolling
A simple mod to disable scrolling in the hotbar.
About this Mod
This mod does not require Fabric API.
Disable Hotbar Scrolling is a simple mod, which, as the name suggests, is used to disable scrolling in the hotbar.
This mod primarily targets people in the PvP community and others who wish to get familiar with their keybinds. The logic behind this mod is as follows: If you can't scroll in the hotbar, the only way you can use the different items equipped in it is to utilize your keybinds.
The 1.8.9 verion of the mod runs of Legacy Fabric 1.8.9, as the original Fabric loader does not support 1.8.9.
The 1.20 version of the mod officially supports all Minecraft versions from 1.19.2 to 1.20, but should work on almost all earlier and future versions of Minecraft supported by the original Fabric loader.

- Another huge shoutout to Kaupenjoe for his Java Introduction and Minecraft Fabric Modding Tutorial playlists! They're a great resource for anyone who wants to get started with Minecraft modding.
- I'm truly grateful to Devin for making an extremely high-quality icon for this mod on short notice.
- Thanks a lot to the Fabric community on Discord and GitHub Discussions and to Kaupenjoe's community on Discord for helping me out with the various issues I had when making this mod and tolerating my stupid mistakes.
