BedrockPlayerModel
by sawiq_
Players with slim arms on a Fabric client can have BedrockPlayerModel lower their arm position so the skin matches the Bedrock Edition appearance.
What it does
The mod is a client-side change that lowers the arms of players using the slim Alex model, reproducing how the arms sit in Bedrock Edition. Arm positioning is automatic, so no setup is needed for players whose skins use slim or thin arms. Its settings are reached through Mod Menu, where an optional BedrockPlayerModel Config screen opens when Mod Menu GUI configuration is installed.
A slider in the settings adjusts the arm offset in steps from 0 to 5 pixels, letting a player tune how far the arms drop. A separate exclusions list lets a player name other players whose hand model should stay unchanged, which is useful on shared servers where some skins should keep the default look. The mod needs Fabric API alongside it on Fabric, and it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source. Its source code is public, and bug reports go to the GitHub issue tracker.

Use cases
Matching a Bedrock look
A player who wants Java arms to match the Bedrock Edition appearance can enable the slim arm offset and set the slider to taste.
Shared servers
On a multiplayer server, the exclusions menu keeps selected players on the default hand model while others use the offset.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who use slim or thin-armed skins and want the Bedrock Edition arm position. It is a client-side option, so server owners do not need to install it.
