Walking Canes
by Mindoth
Walking Canes adds four canes that players hold in the offhand slot, each giving a speed boost while held.
What it does
Players who spend long stretches holding a shield in the offhand can switch to a cane instead. Held in the offhand, each cane gives a 15% speed boost, and a few other passive effects come with the set. The canes use 3D models, so they show in the hand.
The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with the 1.3.0 file dated 2024-07-03. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Walking Canes is the only option in this list that is limited to a single game version, 1.20.1, and a single loader, Forge, so it does not run on other loaders.

What the author says
This mod was born out of the boredom of holding your shield in the offhand 90% of the time. Introducing walking canes! All of the canes give you a 15% speedboost when held in your offhand. Some of them also have other neat passive effects.
