Offhand slot: Totem/shield/torches depending on the situation. Mainly totem though. 1st slot: Sword 2nd slot: Silk touch Pickaxe 3rd slot: Axe 4th slot: Shovel 5th slot: Bow 6th slot: Usually a riptide trident 7th slot: empty 8th slot: Rockets 9th slot: Food (I use steak because someone on the server I play on has a crazy fast cow farm.) (I have my 1st and 9th slots with hot keys Q and F respectively from playing Bedwars, and it lets me swap to my sword or food very quickly when in combat.) Inventory: I keep my chest plate in the very top left slot, so I can switch between that and elytra. I keep an ender chest right next to that. I keep arrows in the top right. Right above my pickaxe I keep a fortune pick just in case. Ender chest: I keep an extra elytra, a stack of rockets, food, a maxed out crossbow and rocket ammo for the crossbow. I keep a shulker box of backup gear, with fully enchanted diamond armor (I have a good trading hall), tools and weapons, and some torches, food, and blocks. I also keep multiple other shulker boxes of miscellaneous items and blocks and some slots for any diamonds that I find while exploring. And that’s it. :)

almost the same here, except I keep my bow in slot 2 cos I use it a lot, Silky Steve and Lucky Larry (pickaxes) in 3 and 4, then a shovel (with the other shovel ie fortune vs silk) in the slot above it, then a slot which changes depending on what Im doing, sometimes its blocks, sometimes its a bucket of water, then rockets, then food in 9. top row of e-chest is all shulkers, one full of building stuff, one for torches and arrows, one for potions, one for alternate weapons and armour, one for misc things like beacon and conduit stuff, scaffolding, a couple of totems, spare buckets of water, emergency food etc. mid and bottom row of e-chest is axes (I used to have an axe on the hotbar but I realised i very rarely wanted to switch to it quickly, I usually harvest a load of wood then put it away again. exploring mineshafts I will sometimes put it back on the hotbar tho), hoes & trident, gapples, bed, a stack of obby and a flint and steel etc. ofc I use different hotbar arrangement for special things like dragon, raids, ocean monument etc

This was very helpful! I recently changed my setup a little bit, and this is the one below. I used to have food in 4, water in 5, torches in 6, and the rest depended on the situation. Then I maxed out my bow and needed a spot for it lol. My current hotbar setup: - Offhand: Totem, shield, or riptide trident (if I’m really late game and not playing hardcore.) - 1: Sword - 2: Pickaxe (usually silk touch) - 3: Axe - 4: Shovel - 5: Bow (Infinity) - 6: Food (Golden Carrots) - 7: Rockets - 8: Depends on the situation. Torches usually. - 9: Depends on situation. Blocks usually.

Water bucket?

[@parker544]

This was great!! I usually do it in a slightly different way: -Offhand: Totem/Shield (based on how early or late into the game I am) -1 Slot: Sword -2 Slot: Silk Touch Pick (Fortune Pick is above it in inventory) -3 Slot: Shovel -4 Slot: Axe -5 Slot: Bow/Trident (It switches randomly, one is always above the other in inventory) -6 Slot: Food -7 Slot: Scaffolding Blocks (usually cobblestone) -8 Slot: Either torches, rockets, or nothing -9 Slot: Water Bucket (This has saved my life multiple times) I’ve mapped my 1 and 9 hotbar slot keys to my side mouse buttons to access the sword and water bucket easier. In the inventory, I usually place arrows in the top left, with either chest plate or elytra to the right of it. Top right is always wood, so I can quickly make a crafting table or sticks or anything else on the go. I always keep a flint and steel above my food and a hoe above my shovel. My ender chest always goes above my sword, and the rest of the space is miscellaneous. My ender chest’s organization is always different depending on the world I’m on. I always put things in different places and they stay there, usually in shulker boxes once I get enough. This was a great video, thank you!

For controller players, since you need to move horizontally along the hotbar, I like grouping it towards function: Mining: 9. Spade 1. Pickaxe with fortune III 2. Pickaxe with silk touch 3. Axe 4. Torches Exploring 5. Rockets Fighting: (Offhand shield) 6. Food 7. Sword 8. Bow Keeping torches, rockets and food in the centre, as they come in handy for all three: mining, exploring and fighting. I don’t leave open slots in the hotbar as they get clogged by anything you pick up. I also keep arrow(s), bucket of water, an ender chest and a shulker box in my inventory at all times. Each to their own of course, but thought I’d add as the console layout is quite different. Thanks yet again for the inspiring video❤️

OMG THANK YOU. I've been subconsciously wanting this for so long

[@the_shinam6545]

Mojang should add a feature in which even if we have chestplate equipped right clickig with elytra selected in the hotbar should swipe them. This will make switching between chestplate and elytra so lot easier and finally no death in the void my friends

[@sluin]

That's why you should almost always wear your elytra in the end, but good idea

[@linuslucke3838]

I play bedrock edition and It's like that there it's so good. I have elytra/Chestplate on hotbar. Fall in Lava/Group of enemies? Put on Chestplate quickly. Fall from great hight/into void? Put on elytra really fast. It saved me so many times.

as a hardcore player I like to keep my chestplate/elytra in my nine slot, which is F, so when I quickly need to switch I can just hover over my current armor piece and switch back and forth by using F. its super helpful when fighting large amounts of mobs and/or when you jump of a cliff without your eyltra on

My Inventory arrangement: 1st slot Sword 2nd slot Pickaxe (Silk touch) 3rd Slot Axe 4th Slot Bow 5th Slot Rockets (If I have elytra otherwise Shovel) 6th Idk (Anything I want to keep) Btw its the most unused slot for me ;) 7th Blocks (mostly netherrack) 8th Food (mostly golden carrot) 9th Water Off Hand: Riptide Trident (always) No totems cuz I never die :D Note: I've set my 9th slot on alt which allows me to instantly switch to my water bucket when needed. It really helps me to do sudden mlgs :D I keep my silk touch pick in the hotbar bcoz maximum blocks are good to break with silk touch and even if I find some ores I just use my silk pick bcoz I can mine the ore whenever I want later with fortune but if in case i need my fortune pick I just keep it right above my silk pick so that I can switch faster And now after watching this vid maybe I'll keep my ender chest in the 6th slot. I dont like any slot to be empty :) And I keep Shulker boxes in my ender chest and also some extra totems and most of the things are in my shulker box like extra rockets, food, blocks etc. I dont carry extra elytra or tools cuz I never need em. Whenever their durability is low I go to my enderman farm and repair them and I never actually die also so I dont need extra tools and armor :D

I love your content ShulkerCraft! You have everything anyone needs for Minecraft and your tutorials are really helpful and easy to understand and follow. I am so thankful for your helpful channel!

[@thecowboyfromcali]

Instead of the left side of the main inventory being the armor, tools or other spare stuff like fireworks, I keep labeled shulkers across the top 9 slots, that hold everything I could ever want. Anything below that line or above the hotbar, is a temporary slot, and when using lots of materials for big builds, I fill those up with shulkers as well, but undyed to signify it's still temporary. Top 9 slots in order is (roughly): 1) tools/armor/elytra spares, 2) weapons/shield spares, 3) fireworks/totems/arrows/potions, 4) crafting stations/necessary blocks for those items (like crafting mats for them, or bookshelves for enchant table), 5) chest/shulker shells for spare shulker storage on demand, 6) valuables like ores/ingots/blocks and a stack of ender chests to help store more items, 7) food items, 8) rare items (like end crystals, enchanted gapples, mob heads, or rare enchant books like soul speed or the new sneak book), 9) and lastly, resources used in building the most common items needed, like wood or cobble. In my end chest, I usually just keep a copy of my 9 personal shulkers I carry everywhere, and a spare for any inventory items I might need to replace in the event of a death. Which still leaves plenty of room for storing stuff when I'm exploring and run out of space, which I usually fill with empty shulkers outside of 1 or 2 slots in case I need to store my valuables, or rares very quickly. Call me OCD but ever since shulkers came out, this is how I've organized. Saves so much time when sorting and I know where everything is at all times

My hotbar: Offhand: Shield or torches. Sometimes blocks. Slot 1: Sword Slot 2: Pickaxe Slot 3: Axe Slot 4: Shovel Slot 5: Food Slot 6: Torches (if they aren't in my offhand). Slot 7: N/A Slot 8: N/A Slot 9: N/A My inventory layout changes sometimes after the shovel but it mostly changes after the food the most. I'm more of a builder and play on a specific server so I think that influences it.

My hotbar habit comes from playing PvP in 1.8 since I need to hotbar quickly enough for different situations. So there are some unexpected items in the hotbar but they are actually pretty useful ingame ngl.

in my opinion (and with my hotkeys) this is the best: 1: weapon 2:pickaxe 3:any other tool 4:blocks (every kind of blocks) 5:food 6(Q): water bucket 7(R):shield 8(V):rockets 9(B): Elytra or chestplate so i can quickly switch between them offhand: totem (gamma 999.0 so i can see everything without torches) inventory sorting: divided into 9 rows above each hotbar slot 1:another weapon, spare armor 2:other pickaxe (fortune/silk touch), spare armor 3:other tools 4:more blocks 5:more food, blocks 6:another water bucket and blocks or food 7:more totems or shields depends on if i died before or used them 8:more rockets 9:idk everything else if i don't have enough space

[@hridaymehta4179]

Actually in slot 1 the chestplate/elytra should be there so you can hit number “1” on your keyboard so the elytra and chestplate immediately swap. This is very useful in dangerous situations and saves time. Totem of Undying comes in offhand

My hot bar selection: Off hand: Rockets or shield 1st: Food 2nd: Bow 3rd: Sword 4th: Pickaxe 5th: *More rockets* 6th: Axe 7th: Shovel 8th & 9th: *Basically anything else, mostly torches or blocks or water*

And uh for inventory, top row is for least used items like rocket shulker, potions,extra totems. The on the row above the hotbar, i got my trident and shovel and my chestplate and some extra blocks so I can manage the most used items quickly and the rest. and my hotbar changes a bit in PvP cases

Offhand: Shield Slot 1: Water Bucket (R key) Slot 2: Sword (MB 4) Slot 3: Pickaxe (MB 5) Slot 4: Axe (G key) Rest of the slots: All depends on where I am or where I am going Slot 9: Torches (C key) I personally have a special key binding set for these which is really helpful and you can switch between them while mining/exploring caves real quick which has saved me from dying and falling to my death so many times.

[@ryanbradley3293]

I like this layout and I do have the same general thing, except I usually have the sword in 2 and the pickaxe in 1, with torches in 9 so I can quickly scroll between them

[@monikabaack7950]

I also have the pickaxe in the first slot!

[@mmarychev]

Great video! Looks like after about 9 years of this game I came to quite the same layout as the whole community) But i also found it slow and difficult to scroll to items in hotbar, so I always change keys to access hotbar slots after 4th. I have numbers 1-3 for tools and weapons, 4 for chestplate or elytra to switch quickly, then 5 to switch item in off-hand (instead of F). Then goes R for food, F for water bucket or fire res potion, X for blocks and V for rockets or trident. 9th slot contains torches and is usually accessed by pressing 1 and short scrolling up. In the right side of inventory i keep some wood and coal. Also I have extra items and tools over the slots they belong to. Offhand is for totem, I carry shield under off hand slot, but rarely use it. The rest of inventory is just mess) Enderchest has shulkers with extra rockets, redstone components, food, tools, totems, elytras and armor. And some empty ones to carry extra stuff. Btw, I think X key is the most used hotbar key for me, I am really surprised how handy it is, you guys should really try it. I place all the blocks that need to be placed just by this key, as I can press it with my thumb.
