Have you ever been building that epic structure or map and you find yourself spending so much time swapping out blocks into the 9 slots you have been given? Me too! So with this mod, while holding down left CTRL you will see a preview of all 27 inventory slots. Use your mouse wheel to toggle inventory rows up or down. As you are doing this, you will get a preview of your inventory slots in game. And with the latest version you can also hold down number and switch items in just one column. Cool, huh?
Compatibility
This mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer. As of version 1.02, you only need to install this mod into your client (Special mention and thanks to Kobata for helping out with this.). It is also possible to install this mod into your server, and if you do so server will assist in item switching to bypass desyncing issues and also if you install the mod into your server, clients are not required to have the mod installed.
In Minecraft 1.7 left ctrl is the default sprint key. This mod does not register keybindings into Minecraft registry but I check for keypresses manually, which means that you can still use your sprint key while using this mod
So, how it all got started anyway?
As I have been developing MinecraftEdu, my friend who also is one of MinecraftEdu's educational advisors started asking me for a mod that allows you to very easily switch your inventory row while you are playing. As this was something I also though of being useful, I got excited about making a Forge mod about it and here we are now
Changes
1.05 (29nd december 2016)
Added ability to bind mouse keys to mod keybindings.
1.04 (3rd january 2015)
Added ability to hold down number and scroll between items in a column.
Added button in settings menu to enable / disable number scrolling (enabled by default).
1.03 (31th august 2014)
Added menu for the mod. Default keybinding: ctrl + m. You can now change all mod settings and keybindings directly from here.
Added configuration option "enable_settings_menu_gui" which can be set to false if you do not want to have the mod settings menu available.
Updated message which gets shown when joining a game.
Changed so that whenever you change between column / row switching mode, it gets stored to file. This makes the setting to be remembered through game sessions.
Fixed bugs with the mod when server did not have mod installed. Should no longer have weird column switch syncronization issues.
1.02 (29th july 2014)
Mod is no longer required in server! Just add the mod in your client to enjoy the functionality
You can still add the mod to your server, and if you do so server will assist in organizing the items for not having any sync issues. If you add the mod to server, clients are also not required to have the mod installed so it is pretty safe to add the mod into your server.
Added keybinding to switch between row and column switching. That is CTRL + C by default (can be configured).
Added two new configurations options: ability to reverse the scrolling (useful for ex. in macs) and can set default scrolling mode (row or column switching).
Fixed so that armor icons no longer render on top of the inventory preview.
1.01 (19th july 2014)
Now you can scroll with mouse wheel AND up / down arrow keys.
Mod now announces that it is loaded and notifies of your keybindings when you join a game.
Added configuration file for the mod. Configuration file gets generated for you once you launch Minecraft once with this mod installed. Check the configuration file at minecraft_folder/config/quickhotbar.cfg.
Using the configuration file you can now configure all the keybindings, if the popup should immediately show up, if mod should announce that it is loaded when you join a game and can you use keyboard keys to scroll between rows.
1.0 (16th july 2014)
Initial release.

Okay, cool, got interested? Then grab it from links below! And so that you know, you need Forge to run this mod.
one quick question... I've used HotbarSwapper in the past, but I had to drop it because it had some problems with items like a forestry's backpack which has several modes. whenever you tried switching hotbars with a forestry backpack in your inventory your items would get shuffled
does your room have the same problem? because if your mod doesn't have that problem, I'm installing it right away

I have actually not used these two mods together, but let me know how it goes. If they still get shuffled, I could take a look if there is a way for me to fix that issue

tested it on version 3.1.1 of the Agrarian Skies pack
I first tried it with just 4 items in different bars of the inventory, worked fine
then I tried a forestry backpack, worked also fine
but then I switched the mode of the backpack to resupply
if I then try to switch hotbars, the backpack keeps getting moved back into the current hotbar

Thanks for spending time on backtracking that, let me try to replicate that as soon as possible.
THIS. This is a mod I need! Being a Building Clan owner, I go through materials like crazy and 9 slots isn't close to enough - I'm sure my fellow members would have to agree as well. As soon as there is a multiplayer release, this will be set up right away Thank you for this awesome mod idea!
I think you've got something here... I know my friend Vazkii released a similar concept to this in August of last year called the HotbarSwapper, same controls and all (maybe some inspiration here?), but nonetheless you seem to have taken it to a new level. Wishing you good luck with the mod and enjoy the publicity!
No offense, this is probably a great mod and all. But, the way I understand it, is in instead of having to download this mod, you can just switch out the controls in the options menu.

This will be so helpful with doing tasks like Mining, when you break your pickaxe, you have to press the Inventory Button and get the spare pickaxe out of your inventory, while here, you can just press Left Ctrl and use the mouse wheel to get the Pickaxe. Much less time consuming.
Also, will there be a way to support non-mouse wheel users with this mod?

Hopefully in the upcoming release the key can be set by the user.
Great job!
My pinky is too fragile to click that far away :S
Would also be interested in hearing on if there would be a better key for toggling it by default rather than ctrl
