Hold My Items
by Tree Corp
With Hold My Items, the player's hands appear in first-person view, so held items are visible while the camera is in that mode.
What it does
The mod draws the player's arms and hands in the first-person camera, showing what is held in each hand. It is a client-side only mod, so the server does not need it and players join without installing it. Hold My Items is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Files are published for Fabric only, across 24 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.11, with 5.1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest beta file, dated 2025-12-25. The mod was first published on 2024-10-23 and last updated on 2025-12-25. Respackopts is an optional dependency, and Hold My Guns and Hold It Right! are among the 2 other mods that require it.
The author asks that credit be given when the mod is included in another project, and that it not be redistributed as someone else's work.
Key features
Visible first-person hands
Arms and hands are drawn in the first-person view, so the item in each hand can be seen while playing.
Held item display
The items in the main hand and off hand are shown in the first-person view as the player switches between them.
Respackopts support
The optional Respackopts dependency can be added alongside the mod to work with resource pack options.
Hand rendering in first person
The arms follow the held item as it changes, keeping the hands in view while the player moves and looks around.
