Variant Swap for Minecraft

Review Variant Swap

Fast Switching Between Items

Players in Minecraft use many different tweaks and mods to optimize standard tasks and perform actions faster. This can include sorting items, moving inventory contents, switching between elytra and armor, replacing weapons and tools, for example when their durability decreases, and so on. There is a separate mod for almost every one of these actions that simplifies interaction. And if this is not enough for you (the list is extensive, and all these additions are important in any user’s modpack), you can go even further and install another very valuable tool!

The Variant Swap modification adds unique functionality to the game, allowing you to quickly switch between items of the same type. For example, you were holding stone stairs in your hands. If you hold down the hotkey, you can quickly switch to stairs of another type. And here two different modes are supported: for Creative and standard Survival. This determines the total number of items you can see and switch between in a special interface. This mod helps in Creative mode, allowing players to quickly obtain different types of blocks and resources, and also in Survival if the inventory contains many similar materials. Ready to try the new functionality?

Almost any player is constantly building something and carries a large number of different materials and blocks. Therefore, the inventory becomes a complete mess. And if additional mods are used that expand the number of inventory slots, one can get confused among such variety. This creates serious problems for any user. That is why it is recommended to use various tweaks and mods to optimize work and simplify the process. And this is where the addition we reviewed for you comes to the rescue. You can see the panel that appears when the menu is opened in the screenshots, but now we will explain it in more detail.

How does this mod work?

· You press a combination of hotkeys (by default Z + mouse wheel). You need to select the hotbar slot for which the replacement will be applied;

· The mod’s system determines which blocks are in the same group, such as concrete of different colors, armor of different types, dyes, and so on, and you can switch between them by scrolling the mouse wheel;

· If the player is currently in “Creative Mode,” the system will display all available blocks and elements from this list. For example, all types of dyes, all concrete blocks, and so on. And it does not matter whether you have them in your inventory or not;

· If the player is in normal Survival mode, only the blocks that are actually in their inventory are displayed.

All you need to do is select the specific block you want to switch the current stack to, and it will automatically be replaced in the slot. This system allows you to quickly change different types of blocks and items in the inventory, no matter which mode the player is currently in. A convenient system for any user, builder, or server owner. It works quickly, correctly, displays the full list, and supports a huge number of blocks.

Variant Swap allows adding support for other blocks from third-party mods, such as Industrial Craft and others, but with each one you need to check individually whether the system will work or not. In many cases, they are loaded automatically and nothing additional is required from the user: you simply select the corresponding item or block and enjoy comfortable work. The mechanic works fast, the modification is updated promptly by the developer, so no issues arise. While writing this material, we tested it with several third-party mods, and everything worked correctly!

Features of Variant Swap:

· Help for players. You can use this mod for fast construction of various buildings. It is enough to take, for example, one wool block, and then switch between blocks using hotkeys to quickly pick any other type;

· Finding all blocks. If you want to know how many different block types a certain mod adds, just take one block and scroll with the hotkey held down to display all the others;

· Fast inventory switching. This system is helpful even in normal Survival mode if the player carries a lot of wool, concrete, and other blocks that vary by shade and type, allowing quick switching to use them faster;

· Convenient mechanics. The system works very fast, and the visual panel correctly displays all the data and beautifully highlights the blocks. Therefore, this is truly a very important and powerful tool for players!

In conclusion, we can say that this addition is useful, unusual, and supported by the developer on a regular basis. If you wish, you can change the hotkeys if the default option does not suit you. Each player determines for themselves how exactly they want to use the modification. When installing third-party mods, most of their blocks, items, and other elements will also likely be available in this addition.
