Flexible Arms
by moechakucha
Flexible Arms is a Quilt library for changing how item models hold the arms of a player, set through JSON model files.
What it does
The mod lets authors adjust arm positions in item JSON models, so held items sit correctly in the hands. Adding the adjustment takes only a few lines in existing JSON model files. The Quilt Standard Libraries are required for it to load.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. Its builds target Quilt for 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.1.0+1.20.1 for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Arm position control
Arm positions can be set per item through its JSON model, changing how the item is held.
Simple JSON edits
Existing item model files gain the adjustment with a few lines, without writing code.
Source code available
The source code and issue tracker are public, so the library can be read and reported on directly.

What the author says
A Quilt mod (potentially Fabric & NeoForge too but I don't have time to do a multi-platform setup and I'm too lazy to handle this as well) allowing adjusting arm positions in item JSON models. Does not require Quilt Standard Libraries.
