Hold My Guns
by stewy.s.dev
Hold My Guns is a Fabric patch that lets Vic's Point Blank firearms keep their own animations while Hold My Items is installed.
What it does
Hold My Items and Vic's Point Blank both change how the held item is drawn, so they conflict when used together. Hold My Guns sits between them as a small compatibility layer. It detects when a Vic's Point Blank weapon is held and skips the Hold My Items animation system for those items, so the gun keeps its native animations and scoping mechanics. Other items still receive Hold My Items animations as usual.
The mod requires Hold My Items and Vic's Point Blank, and it runs on Fabric only. It is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it. Hold My Guns targets Minecraft 1.21.11 and was first published on 2026-04-09, with version 1.0.0 as its latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are public. The author plans to release more small compatibility patches in the future.
