Salty´s Auto Toolbar is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater. Salty’s Auto Toolbar hides the Vintage Story hotbar after inactivity and brings it back when you switch slots or unlock the cursor.
Why this mod is worth installing
This QoL mod suits players who want a cleaner interface and a more immersive view while exploring or building. It is especially useful when the toolbar is rarely needed for long stretches.
What Salty´s Auto Toolbar adds
The mod monitors toolbar activity and hides the hotbar after a configurable idle period. This removes persistent interface elements from the lower part of the screen without taking away access to the selected items.
The toolbar returns when you change the active slot or release the mouse cursor. You can choose between hiding, shrinking the toolbar, or combining both visual effects.
The display behavior is designed to work alongside modded status bars, making it suitable for interfaces that add extra information near the standard HUD.
Auto Toolbar
The toolbar is hidden when it has not been used for a while, reducing visual clutter during gameplay. Changing the selected slot or unlocking the cursor makes it visible again.
Toolbar Display Settings
The configuration allows you to set the idle delay and choose whether the toolbar disappears, scales down, or uses both effects. The example also shows the interface working with additional status bars.
