HotSwap
HotSwap is a lightweight, client-side Minecraft mod that automatically selects the optimal tool or weapon in your hotbar based on what you’re doing—be it mining, chopping, fighting, or digging. By leveraging Minecraft’s built-in item tags, HotSwap ensures you always have the right tool in hand without manual inventory juggling.

Features
- Lightweight & Non-Invasive Automatically switches to the “best” tool in your hotbar for the block you’re breaking or mob you’re hitting, based on enchantments and material tiers. - Lightweight & Non-Invasive Define your own tag priorities and blacklists in `hotswap.json5` to fine-tune which tools should be preferred or skipped. - Lightweight & Non-Invasive Toggle HotSwap with a single keybind (default: `;`). When disabled, your hotbar remains unchanged. - Lightweight & Non-Invasive No extra GUIs or big configuration menus—just an easy-to-edit JSON5 file and a small, performant mod jar.

Usage
1. Return — press your configured toggle key (default `;`) to enable or disable HotSwap. 2. Return — break a block; HotSwap will swap in your best pickaxe/axe/shovel according to the tags in your hotbar. 3. Return — left-click a mob; HotSwap will switch to the highest-damage sword or tool. 4. Return — once the action ends (block broken or mob dead), your previous hotbar slot is restored automatically.
