ToolPose
by TAFEFEFK
ToolPose lets players set how held tools, weapons and food look in first-person view, with separate settings for each hand and a key to open the config screen.
What it does
Players can adjust the position, rotation, size and swing of the items they hold in first person. Each hand has its own set of values, so the right and left hands can be tuned apart. Profiles are grouped by category, covering swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, food, blocks, totems, shields and bows, so each kind of item can carry its own pose.
Rotation uses the Yaw, Pitch and Roll order. Offset, rotation, scale and swing intensity can all be changed, and a randomize button produces a new pose for quick trials. The settings screen opens with the K key, and its controls can be rebound. The interface is localized into 11 languages.
ToolPose is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It is published for 26.2 only, as a beta build, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and it is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.
Key features
Position and rotation controls
Position, rotation, size and swing can be set for held items, shaping how tools and weapons sit in view.
Separate left and right hands
Each hand keeps its own settings, so the two hands can be posed differently.
Per-category profiles
Swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, food, blocks, totems, shields and bows each have a profile of their own.
Randomized poses
A button applies a random pose instantly, which helps when testing new arrangements.
