No Hand Sway

by O3kar

No Hand Sway is a client-side Fabric mod that stops the held item from swaying and shaking as the mouse moves.

FabricClient-side onlyApache License 2.01.21 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod removes the hand item shaking animation that follows mouse movement, so the held item stays steady while the player looks around. It is aimed at players who want a calmer first-person view. Only the client needs it, and it changes nothing on the server side. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 and the latest file, 1.0.6, is for 1.21.11. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Steady held item

    The held item no longer sways or shakes when the mouse is moved, keeping the first-person view still.

  2. Smoother view

    Removing the animation gives the view a cleaner, more polished feel during normal play.

  3. Client-side change

    The effect applies only to the player's own view, so servers run without the mod.
