ChangeOfHand
by TheBerat
ChangeOfHand lets a player move the first-person hand left or right on screen, with the position bound to a key chosen in the Controls section.
What it does
Players set the hand position by pressing a key assigned under Options, Controls, Key Assignments, in the Hand Position category. The default key is H, and pressing it changes how the held item and arm appear in-game immediately, without restarting the game. The change is aimed at a clearer view of the world, so the screen has less in the way of the hand.
The mod is client-side only, meaning only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. Its changes are visual and do not affect server-side mechanics. It is built to work alongside most modded environments and aims to avoid frame drops and visual glitches. Installation is a matter of adding the file to the client's mods folder for Fabric or Quilt and launching Minecraft.
The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt, with files for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 and the latest build, 1.0, dated 2025-12-14. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
