NoWheel Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I stop the scroll wheel from changing my hotbar slots?
Just install NoWheel and it works automatically — the scroll wheel is disabled for hotbar switching by default. If it still switches items, check that the mod is toggled on via its keybind or config.
How do I turn NoWheel on and off?
Use the mod's keybind to toggle it while in-game, or open the config through Cloth Config or ModMenu and flip the toggle there. The keybind lets you quickly re-enable scrolling if you temporarily want it back.
What is the default keybind for NoWheel?
The mod assigns a keybind for toggling, but the exact default key isn't fixed in the docs — check your Controls settings under the NoWheel category to see or rebind it. You can change it to any key you like.
Does NoWheel disable the scroll wheel completely?
No — it only stops the scroll wheel from switching hotbar slots. Scrolling still works everywhere else, like in inventories, chat, and menus.
Can I still use the scroll wheel in my inventory with NoWheel installed?
Yes. NoWheel only affects hotbar slot switching in the world, so scrolling through inventory screens, creative menus, and lists works normally.
How do I change NoWheel's settings?
Open the config via Cloth Config or through ModMenu's mod list, where you can toggle the mod and adjust its options. Changes usually apply immediately without restarting the game.
NoWheel isn't working — the scroll wheel still changes my slots. What do I do?
First check that the mod is toggled on with its keybind, since it may have been accidentally disabled. Also confirm you don't have another mod that re-enables scroll switching, and check the config screen for any conflicting option.
Does NoWheel work on a server, or only singleplayer?
NoWheel is a client-side mod, so it works in singleplayer and on any server without needing to be installed server-side. Other players won't be affected by your settings.
Will NoWheel conflict with other mods?
It's a lightweight mod that only touches hotbar scroll behavior, so conflicts are rare. If another mod also changes scroll or hotbar handling, test them together and check the config if scrolling behaves oddly.
Does NoWheel affect performance or FPS?
No — it only intercepts scroll input for the hotbar, so it has no meaningful impact on performance or framerate.
