Be able to assign a specific slot of the hotbar to a controller button

When playing on keyboard you can press any number from 0-9 to select any item on the hotbar, this way you can put your sword and pickaxe and the first and second slot and be able to quickly select those items by just pressing the number. Right now, you can't assign any slot to a specific button controller in the controller settings, I think it would be nice to be able to assign let's say the first slot to D-Pad down, so that I can select it instantly instead of scrolling several times, this could be life saving in-game.

    You can just put your sword at the first slot in your hotbar, and then pressing 1 would take it out.

    I had this same idea, but I think that, since the lack of buttons on Controller, maybe they could make so that when your press a chosen Button (Say View on Xbox) it will open this "Menu" where you can press your chosen buttons that are mapped. Let me put this into an example...

    I am running and want to quickly get to my sword in the 3rd slot I would press "View" (In this example) and then press the button I had associated with my 3rd slot. I would be able to continue to run/look around during this time.

    this would be perfect a use for the d-pad, as you can bind lets say slot 3 to right d-pad select blocks and in a pvp situation be able to use them without delay

    They should add dual input bindings.

    For example, Pressing LB could be hotbar slot 1 and RB for slot 9.

    You could then hold LB + A,B,X,Y which could be hotbar slots 2-5 then Hold RB + A,B,X,Y again for 6-8 then

    This would be a great update for controller.
