• A clear description of the issue - Ctrl+Scroll or Alt+Scroll doesn't work with (selection?) stick, it simply changes the current selected hotbar slot.

That was the issue, thanks! I don't know how they got reset to none

I just tested and I can't area select eather. Maybe it's just a config issue?

Do you see the tool HUD in the bottom left when you hold the "tool item"? If not, then you have either disabled the tool item functionality (M + T) or the mod main rendering option (M + R), or you are not holding the item configured as the tool (Generic -> toolItem). Also note that the item currently (in the current 1.13+ mod versions) can't have any NBT data.

yes I can see the tool HUD and i used /give stick

Check if your operationModeChangeModifier hotkey is still set to left Ctrl (that's the "modifier" hotkey for changing the mode while scrolling). And selectionNudgeModifier for the left Alt + scroll corner/area/placement nudging.
