Specific Items Holding
by YetGamerPro
Specific Items Holding lets a datapack or map author change which item a character holds in the main hand, and set the item for each hand separately.
What it does
Holding is controlled through a new item subcommand, so an author can pick the held item from a function or command block. The same change can target a specific hand instead of the main hand. The author's intent is to make the mod useful when creating maps and datapacks, where custom items from other mods can be placed in a hand. The author's example is a lamp from another mod, shown in the screenshots. The mod runs on client and server, so both need it. Forge 1.20.1 is the only supported version, with 1.0.2 as the latest file, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Main hand item change
A new subcommand swaps the item held in the main hand, without needing a separate mod for each case.
Specific hand targeting
The same change can be applied to a chosen hand, so each hand can hold a different item.
Items from other mods
Custom items from other mods can be placed in a hand through maps and datapacks, as the author's lamp example shows.

How it compares
Auto Attack Port is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs client-side only, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and not open source. Hold My Items - Reforged is a Forge mod for 1.19.4 – 1.21.5, also client-side only, under the MIT License and not open source. Specific Items Holding needs both client and server, so it differs from both in environment.

↑ Same as above, but will allow you to customize your specific hand. You will be able to customize item holdings for your own mod, datapack or map.
