Steelhammer Smart Hotbar
A lightweight client-side Valheim mod that lets you switch through hotbar slots 1-8 with the mouse wheel without breaking Valheim's building controls.
Features
- Scroll the mouse wheel to switch between hotbar slots 1-8.
- Automatically stops hotbar scrolling while building.
- The mouse wheel remains available for normal building-piece rotation.
- Hold Left Ctrl to leave the mouse wheel available for Valheim's normal camera zoom.
- Optional wrap-around between slot 1 and slot 8.
- Configurable scroll direction.
- Configurable scroll delay.
- Client-side only.
- No server installation required.
- Other players do not need the mod.
Why?
Normal mouse-wheel hotbar mods can interfere with Valheim's building system because the same wheel is used to rotate building pieces.
Steelhammer Smart Hotbar detects the building context and automatically leaves the mouse wheel to Valheim whenever it is needed for construction.
