Things you should always have on your Hotbar.

[G33ke]

I sort my hotbar like this:
1: Strongest weapon I currently own.
2: Fishing rod, food if I don't have one. I use the scroll wheel, so I like to have the fishing rod right next to my sword for land battles.
3: Bow, food if I don't have one.
4: Flint and steel, food if I don't have one.
5: Golden apple, regular food if I don't have one.
6: Food, starting from the left to the right is the most hunger filling food to the least hunger filling food. (Steak, Cooked Chicken, Bread, Raw food, kinda like that, in that order.)
7: More food, details at 6. (Erm, that sounded odd...)
8: Arrows. I like to see how many I have left so I know how to handle various situations...it's very helpful to know exactly how many for many reasons.
9: "Fake"/dummy weapon, like a stone sword when I secretly have a diamond one in slot 1.

I hate how people keep there sword in slot 1, it looks better in slot 2 because it's facing the oppisite direction of the bow.

1 : Bow
2 : Sword
3 : Fishing Rod
4 : Flint & Steel
5 : Golden Apple
6 : Raw Fish/cookies (Food that gives you a LOW saturation).
7 : Raw Pork, beef (Food that gives you a MEDIUM saturation).
8 : Cooked Fish, bread, Cooked Chicken. (Food that gives you a HIGH saturation).
9 : Steak, cooked pork. (Food that gives you a MASSIVE Saturation).


I do NOT like having cooked fish or cooked pork, or raw beef, in my inventory, I DO NOT Like the look of them -.- so I tend to eat them first, or throw them away -.-

I don't take wheat, rotten flesh, or string out of chests.

I prefer having arrows in the slot just ABOVE my bow in my inventory, I AM CONSTANTLY Fixing my inventory and throwing weapons out -.- which gets me killed :/ But I just LIKE To have a sorted inventory, I cannot PVP without a set inventory...

[Benergy09]

My hotbar is almost always arranged like this:

1. Cooked Food or Mushroom Soup
2. Cooked Food or Mushroom Soup
3. Fishing Rod
4. Bow
5. Sword
6. Flint and Steel
7. Golden Apples
8. Varies depending on the map, could be a boat, more food, or a diamond to use as a last chance distraction
9. Arrows

I like to keep my weapons in the middle so I only need to move to the left or right to switch from my sword to whatever other weapon fits the circumstance. I always make sure to have my arrows in there as well, so I can easily check how many I have remaining while in a fight.

I like to keep one space empty next to my weapon that I use whenever I'm running around looking for people. This is so that people think that you don't have a weapon and try to kill you.
