Main Hand Switcher
by qDokko
Main Hand Switcher lets a player swap the main hand item through a keybind, with the default key set to J.
What it does
Pressing the keybind swaps the item in the main hand with the one in the offhand, so a player can change tools or weapons without opening the inventory. The key can be rebound to any other key in the controls menu. Players in PvP can switch with a left click, which the mod describes as useful in combat.
Main Hand Switcher is a client-side mod for Fabric, with files for 26.1 – 26.1.2 and the latest build dated 2026-05-15. The license is CC0 1.0 Universal, so the code is in the public domain and is not open source. The author says they take no responsibility for bans caused by the mod, and that some server owners may apply strict rules to it.

The default key is J but you can change it to anything. Switch it to left click to brag when playing PVP. DISCLAIMER: I won't take responsibility for any ban caused by this mod. It's unlikely but some server owners might be a bit too strict
