# SwapColumn<\/p>\n
A Minecraft Fabric mod that lets you swap items between your hotbar and the inventory slots directly above it \u2014 without opening your inventory.<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
SwapColumn adds a **vertical swap column** above any hotbar slot. When triggered, a small menu appears showing the items stacked above your selected slot. Choose one and it swaps instantly into your hotbar.<\/p>\n
### Opening the Menu<\/p>\n
**Mode 1 \u2014 Number Key:**
\nPress the number key of the hotbar slot you are *already on*.
\nExample: you are on slot 3, press `3` \u2014 the SwapColumn opens above slot 3.<\/p>\n
**Mode 2 \u2014 Keybind:**
\nPress your configured SwapColumn key (unbound by default).
\nSet it under **Options \u2192 Controls \u2192 SwapColumn**.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Selecting an Item<\/p>\n
**Click mode:**
\n– Mode 1: press `1`\u2013`4` to select a row (`1` = current hotbar item, cancels the swap)
\n– Mode 2: press `1`\u2013`3` to select a row, press the SwapColumn key again to cancel<\/p>\n
**Scroll mode:**
\nHold the opening key and scroll to highlight a row, then release to confirm.<\/p>\n

## Configuration<\/p>\n
The config file is located at `.minecraft\/config\/swapcolumn.json` and is created automatically on first launch.<\/p>\n
“`json
\n{
\n “enableCycling”: false,
\n “enableSlotTexture”: true
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
| Option | Default | Description |
\n|—|—|—|
\n| `enableCycling` | `false` | When scrolling, wrap around from top to bottom and vice versa. Note: scrolling down on the first action always wraps regardless of this setting. |
\n| `enableSlotTexture` | `true` | Render slot backgrounds using the vanilla hotbar texture. Disable if your texture pack causes visual issues. |<\/p>\n
**Note:** Mod Menu support is planned. Until then, changes to the config file require a game restart to take effect.<\/p>\n
