ResourcepacksJava
Better Handheld Items
Adjusts the position, rotation and scale of weapons, tools and items in first person view. Should work with most modded items and resourcepacks.
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.
This resourcepack changes the weapons, tools and items to have a more natural-looking position when held in your main or off-hand (in first person view). The 2D items face more towards the camera and the weapons and tools are no longer stuck to your face. See the screenshots to understand better.
Heavily inspired by Gosha's RPG!
Note: Some items might be different in third person view as well.
