C.I.M.I.H.
C.I.M.I.H. lets players change how held items sit, tilt, scale and swing in the first-person view, with a live configuration menu for each setting.
What it does
Held items can be repositioned, rotated and resized in first person. Each adjustment is independent, so a player can shift an item's placement without changing its size or angle. Several swing animation modes are offered, and the swing speed can be tuned. An option ignores the Haste effect, so the swing timing stays the same while the player has it.
The settings are changed through an in-game menu that applies changes while playing, so there is no need to edit files or restart. Settings can be saved and shared as a code, which lets a player copy another person's arrangement. The mod changes only how items are drawn for the local player, so it is a client mod, and servers run without it. Version builds cover 1.21.7, 1.21.8 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric file. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

Use cases
Custom combat look
A player who prefers a particular weapon angle can set the rotation and position and keep it across sessions.
Matching a screenshot style
Someone recording footage can adjust scale and swing so held items frame the way they want.
Who it’s for: Players who want a different first-person presentation of held items, and anyone who wants to share a fixed arrangement of those settings with others. Servers do not need it.
