SwapHand
Switch your main hand (left/right) with one key press — the same setting as in Options → Skin Customization, but without opening menus.
✨ Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| One-key swap | Toggle main hand (left ↔ right) instantly with your chosen key. |
| Configurable | Enable/disable the mod and set your keybind in the mod menu. |
| Two entry points | Open SwapHand settings from the main menu or the in-game pause menu (ESC). |
| Layout-independent | Keybind is bound by physical key (scan code), so it works with any keyboard layout (e.g. English, Russian). |
| Priority over vanilla | Your swap key is checked first, so it won't be blocked by vanilla keybinds. |
