Multiple Hotbars

Players will now have access to multiple hotbars in the GUI. Up to ten separate hotbar banks will be able to be visible in the client GUI. The number visible will be able to be customised from the options menu.

Each bank maintains its ten lines of slots, so in total that's ten bars with ten lines of ten slots. This means you'll be able to have a hundred icons visible with a thousand that can be cycled through.

You will be able to toggle which of the ten bars is currently your active hotbar. (i.e. which hotbar accepts the keyboard shortcut commands)

Gameplay Features

Of course the updates aren't just about the new content, and there will be the usual host of new game updates and changes, here are some of the things you can expect to see in 17.4
