Hotbar Locker
Hotbar Locker protects the hotbar slots you choose from automatic item replacement. Pick block and supported Create Toolbox equipment use an available unlocked slot, while you can still select, use, move, and consume locked items yourself.
Documentation reflects Hotbar Locker 0.4.0 · Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge) and 1.21.1 (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge).
Lock a slot with a key you assign in Controls. A gold frame traces around it and a small padlock appears without covering the item, count, or durability bar. The selected-slot outline also turns gold while that slot is locked. Locks persist with your player across saves, reconnects, and respawns.
