About this project
What does Hide Hands add?
Hide Hands is a minimalistic client-side configurable mod which allows you to hide your offhand and/or main hand. This can be set to always hide or only when holding specific items. By default the mod hides the offhand when holding a torch or a totem of undying and the empty player's hand will be hidden, unless swung.
All available config options:
alwaysHideMainHand default false
If enabled, always hides the main hand. If disabled, hides the main hand when holding the items defined in hideMainHandWithItems.
alwaysHideEmptyMainHand default true
If enabled, always hides the main hand if it's empty. Will still be visible when swung empty.
hideMainHandWithItems default ""
The items which when held will hide the main hand if alwaysHideMainHand is disabled.
alwaysHideOffhand default false
If enabled, always hides the offhand. If disabled, hides the offhand when holding the items defined in hideOffhandWithItems.
hideOffhandWithItems default "minecraft:totem_of_undying,minecraft:torch"
The items which when held will hide the offhand if alwaysHideOffhand is disabled.
