📋 About This Mod

Variant Swap is a mod that lets you change the variant of the item you're holding by using a customizable key (Z by default) and scrolling. When you scroll, you'll also see at the top of the screen a quick preview of what's before and after the selected item (for a few seconds).
In Creative mode, you can switch through every available variant of the item, while in Survival mode it only shows items you have in your inventory. It works with both vanilla and modded items!

### Customization The mod's generated mappings and configuration file are located in your Minecraft (or server) folder under `/config/Variant Swap/`.
Available settings in `config.json`: - OP level (4 by default) - for the `/variant-swap` command - Delay (50ms by default) - this is to throttle the scrolling
On servers it is recommended to change the OP level as desired. The `/variant-swap` command can be used to reset the delay (cooldown) to its default value or to change it to another value (still in `ms`).
### For Developers If your mod adds items or blocks and you want to organize them into specific custom categories, add a `variant_swap` tag to each item/block. This tag will determine the group in which the item is categorized.
For example, imagine you have a mod that adds various furniture items, and you want to categorize them by wood type instead of grouping all chairs together. You could tag all oak items with `variant_swap:oak` (so `oak` or whatever you wanna call the category), all spruce items with `variant_swap:spruce`, and so on.
