About this Mod
🎯 PriorityHotbar
Customize your hotbar's internal priority order — without moving a single item.
📖 What is PriorityHotbar?
PriorityHotbar lets you customize Minecraft's internal hotbar priority
order without moving your items visually.
Your hotbar stays exactly the same on screen — only the internal cooldown
priority scan order is changed behind the scenes.
This is especially useful for PvP loadouts where you want specific
weapons like a Mace, Sword, or Axe to be prioritized
in a fully custom order.
