Suggestion: Hotbar manager
if you have tools and die, they will be before sword. to implement a fix (not really a bug but more of a quality of life suggestion) for this, you could either 1. Copy Hypixel's Hotbar manager, where there is a separate menu you can move around categories (shop categories). or 2 just hard-change it to have sword in first slot.
will upload footage/screenshots soon, sorry
