HMI x VPB Compatibility Patch

A lightweight patch mod designed to fix the rendering conflict between Hold My Items and Vic's Point Blank (VPB).

Note: This release is specifically for Minecraft 1.21.11. While I do not currently have plans to support other versions, the source code is uploaded for anyone who wishes to backport it.

Overview

When both mods are active, Hold My Items overrides the first-person rendering pipeline. This prevents Vic's Point Blank guns from displaying their custom animations and breaks the Aim Down Sights (ADS) functionality.

This patch fixes that behavior by:

• Detecting when a VPB weapon is held.
• Bypassing the HMI animation system for those specific items.
• Restoring VPB's native animations and scoping mechanics.
• Preserving HMI animations for all other items.

About This Project

I originally created this patch for personal use to fix my own modded experience. I’ve decided to share it here for anyone else facing the same conflict.

This is my first mod uploaded to Modrinth! I plan to release more, possibly also small mods from personal use and / or compatibility patches in the future!
