View Model Customizer (Animations)

by hanqira · on Modrinth

A minimalist Open Source Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.4+ that gives you complete control over your first-person viewmodel.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.1.2Newest
Minecraft 1.21.11
Minecraft 1.21.4

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.1.2 ⬇ Download for 1.21.11 ⬇ Download for 1.21.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

View Model Customizer editor

View Model Customizer

Fine-tune the way your held items look in first person.
Move, rotate and scale the viewmodel, save profiles, and control swing/equip animations — all client-side.

🖥️ Client-side only. Install it for yourself; the server does not need the mod.

✨ What you can tweak

Control	What it does
📏 Size	Changes the held-item scale.
↔️ Position X / Y / Z	Moves the item with a range from `-100` to `100`.
🔄 Yaw / Pitch / Roll	Rotates the item around its own axis — no flying across the screen.
↩️ Reset controls	Reset one setting or restore the active profile's defaults.
📁 Profiles	Create, rename, delete and instantly switch setups. Everything saves automatically.
⚔️ No Swing	Removes swing side movement while keeping item rotation.
📐 Scale Swing	Makes the swing animation respect your item scale.
🚫 No Equip	Disables the draw/equip animation when switching items.

🚀 Installation

Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for your Minecraft version.
Download the matching jar:
- View Model Customizer-mc1.21.11-3.3.jar for Minecraft 1.21.11;
- View Model Customizer-mc26.1.2-3.3.jar for Minecraft 26.1.2.

🎮 Usage

Press V to open the editor. The keybind can be changed in Minecraft's controls.

Create a profile for each setup, tune its position/rotation, and the changes are saved automatically. Empty hands keep their normal vanilla animation instead of inheriting an item offset.
