No Re-Equip
by Zodancy
No Re-Equip stops the hand re-equip animation from playing when the held item only changes its data without being swapped.
What it does
The animation normally replays whenever the stack in hand is updated, even when it is the same item. Count or NBT changes from a server sync trigger the replay, which looks like a flicker in the hand. The mod suppresses those replays when the held item has not actually changed, and the item itself keeps working as before. Only the client needs the mod, and it needs no server-side installation. Fabric 1.21.8 is the only game version covered, with the 1.0.0 file released 2026-02-12 under the MIT License, though the code is not open source.
Key features
Suppressed re-equip animation
The hand animation no longer replays when the held item keeps the same identity after an update.
Count and NBT updates ignored
Stack count and NBT changes on the same item no longer trigger a re-equip, so the held item stays steady.
Configurable behavior
The mod has a configuration file that controls how the suppression is applied.
