At some point in development, you very well might want to replace Roblox’s hotbar with something more suitable. Let’s face it, it’s old. If you value style and cross-platform support, this guide is for you.
Satchel
Satchel excels as an ‘exact’ replacement for the default hotbar, supporting the inventory system much like Roblox does it, with near-identically designed interactions. Its UI is easy to customize, but limited in flexibility.
- Easy install
- Stylish
- Cross-platform
- Inventory
- Fully customizable
- Easy to customize
NeoHotbar
NeoHotbar takes a heavier twist on things, reimagining the hotbar’s core design and interactions. It doesn’t limit the items you can have handy, reducing the need for a built-in inventory. The UI is completely overridable, but requires more development knowledge.
- Easy install
- Stylish
- Cross-platform
- Inventory
- Fully customizable
- Easy to customize
Making your own
Maybe you’ve taken a look at the other two, and they just aren’t quite flexible enough. You can make your own! Both NeoHotbar and Satchel are fully open source, meaning you can take what they’ve learned, and apply them to your own implementation.
For building out UIs, I recommend Fusion and OnyxUI personally.
