Refill Your Current Stack Without Switching Hotbar Slots

Using Pick Block to Refill

When you're running low on blocks or items in your held stack, Pick Block Tweaks can automatically refill from your inventory while keeping you in the same hotbar slot.

To refill your current stack:

1. Hold a partially-filled stack of blocks (e.g., dirt, stone, or any stackable item)

2. Press your Pick Block key (default: middle mouse button)

3. The mod searches your inventory for matching items

4. Your held stack refills from the matching inventory stack

5. Your hotbar slot remains unchanged

How This Differs From Vanilla

In vanilla Minecraft, Pick Block switches you to the picked block's slot in your hotbar, disrupting your workflow. This tweak keeps you in your current slot, making building and gathering much faster.

Works in both modes:

  • Survival: Refills from your inventory if matching stacks exist
  • Creative: Instantly refills your stack

This feature works whether or not the server has the mod installed, making it safe to use on any server.
