Dual Wielding Unbound
Dual Wielding Unbound changes how a Fabric player's two hands attack when each holds a weapon, so one press of the attack key swings the hand that is ready.
What it does
The mod fixes the attack behavior of dual wielding on Fabric. Pressing the attack key triggers an attack from one hand: the main hand if the offhand is empty, otherwise whichever hand has the higher attack progress. Actions that do not target an entity, such as breaking blocks, are not supported by this fix. Client and server both run it, so the server and every player need the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with files for 1.21.1 and a latest Fabric build of 1.0.2+1.21.1.
The source code and issue tracker are public, and the mod was first published on 2025-11-22, last updated on 2026-01-25.
Key features
Hand selection on attack
The attack key picks one hand per press, so a weapon in the offhand can strike when the main hand is not ready.
Empty mainhand fallback
When the main hand is empty, the offhand performs the attack instead.
Entity attacks only
The fix covers attacks on entities; block breaking is not handled by it.

What the author says
This mod fixes all of that. Now, when pressing attack, you will attack. If the mainhand is empty, the offhand will perform the attack. Otherwise, the hand with the higher attack progress will perform the attack.
