How to change a players selected hotbar slot

[fenris]

I am trying to change the players currently selected hotbar slot. I found 

minecraft.thePlayer.inventory.changeCurrentItem(x)

however, this only selects the next or previous slot.

I am very new to this, sorry if I missed something obvious.

Thanks.

Oh, I just found it on this thread

Is there a way to do what I'm asking in 1.16?

Can I ask what method you found?

To do this in minecraft 1.16.5 it is very simple (note it should work for 16.4 as well, you might have to change some of the class names to match yours).

 

Minecraft.getInstance().player.inventory.currentItem = 8;

 

You can set 8 to whatever slot you want. For some reason minecraft adds 1 or takes away 1 with everything that has to do with inventorys so make sure you test it properly.
