1) Sword
2) Fishing rod
3) Bow
4) Food/ Golden apples
5) Food
6) Food
7) Food
8) Food/Boat/Flint n' steel

I use my scroll to get around rather than macros or numbers.

 

[Dunches]

Slot 1: Sword
Slot 2: Bow
Slot 3: Arrows (If the amount of arrows is high, replace it with Golden Apples)
Slot 4: Golden Apples (If golden apples are placed in 3, replace with food)
Slot 5: Food (if food is placed in 4, replace with flint and steel)
Slot 6: Flint and steel
Slot 7: Flint and steel
Slot 8: Flint and steel
Slot 9: Fishing rod (if low amount of water on map/my area, replace with flint and steel).

Or if the amount of golden apples is very high, or deathmatch is closing in, replace any kind of food except the golden apples with flint and steel

I have a problem with my mouse where I am unable to scroll well so I keep all the items that I really need in 1-5 so I can press them with the numbers on my keyboard. It's kind of a problem.

 

[G33ke]

1. Bow
2. Sword
3. Fishing rod
4. Flint and Steel
5. Flint and Steel (if I have a second one. Otherwise, it's the highest food I have.)
6-8. Highest food to lowest. (Golden Apple, Golden Carrot, Steak/Cooked Pork, Pumpkin pie/Cooked Chicken, etc...Saturation is accounted for.)
9. Arrows


My setup is a bit of an oddball because of the first three slots: The bow takes up the first, then the sword the second, and the fishing rod the third. I have it set up this way for a reason: With this setup, I can run into a fight with the fishing rod and only have to scroll once to get back to my sword. In the same fight, I can go from my bow shooting an arrow to blocking instantly. This allows me to have an edge in some bow fights, as I can block some arrows easily. I don't switch between the fishing rod and bow that much, and the flint and steel usually comes with a second of preparation, so it's not a big deal. (In fact, when I come rushing at someone with a fishing rod in hand, they probably don't expect fire.)


Yes: I use the scroll wheel. I never use the number keys. Never have, never will. Although, I'm overdoing it with the mouse wheel right now. I occasionally overscroll. Because of the way I play, I'm testing my limits right now by going as fast as I can, but that does come with a price: When I fail, I fail big time. Still, it's helping me improve. It's always a blast to completely, for lack of a better word, annihilate someone when I do good with it.

What is the point of keeping arrows in your hotbar? To keep track, just take a quick glance at your inventory before fighting and account accordingly for each arrow you shoot/pickup. That extra space could be used for something that would effectively help in combat.

This is what my usual inventory looks like.
Just to have the run down anyway -
1. Sword
2. Bow
3. Fishing Rod
4. Flint & Steele
5. Food (If I have Golden Apples then those will be there instead)
6. Food
7. Food
8. Food
9. Arrows
Additional stuff -
.Bottom inventory row is used for food
.First three slots all the way to the left go in this order from left to right in the middle row - 1. Gold | 2. Iron.| 3. Diamond
.First three slots all the way to the left go in this order from left to right in the top row -1. Feathers | 2. Sticks | 3. Flint
.Top row all the way to right stuff such as boats, extra amour go here.

And yes everything has to be in order

Edit: I have been experimenting with my bow in the first slot instead of the second. It seems as this has been a better method for me though it's taking time to adjust.
