Offhand Placement Control
by N1ceDay
Offhand Placement Control lets players stop the off-hand slot from placing blocks during play, toggled with a key.
What it does
The mod targets an unwanted side effect of the off-hand slot: holding a placeable block there can place it while the player uses the main hand. A keybind, default Y, switches this block placement on and off during gameplay, so players can keep the off-hand check active or turn it off at will. A configuration file lists disabled items and holds the settings that control which items are affected.
Key features
Off-hand placement toggle
A keybind, set to Y by default, turns block placement from the off-hand slot on or off during play.
Keep offhand check
The off-hand check can stay active, so blocks in the off-hand do not place unless the player allows it.
Configurable item list
A configuration file holds a list of disabled items, which can be changed to suit a pack.
