IMPORTANT: This mod is a Forge port of the Fabric mod Hold My Items by [thesapling]
🎮 What it does
Have you ever noticed how your Minecraft character holds items… but doesn’t look like they actually hold them?
Hold My Items fixes that!
This mod renders your character's arm whenever you hold an item, giving you the impression that your character is physically holding it — just like in real life!
It’s subtle, but it adds a huge amount of immersion to your gameplay.
✅ Features
- Renders the main-hand arm while holding an item
- Also renders the off-hand arm with proper animation and orientation
- MB-3D Items Pack support (change config value)
- Adds contextual animations when:
- Swimming
- Crawling
- Climbing
- Holding items like lanterns or maps
- Fully client-side — does not require installation on servers
- Lightweight and compatible with most mods
🧱 Modpack Friendly
Yes! This mod is 100% client-side.
