YDM's Weapon Master
With YDM's Weapon Master, hotbar items appear on the player's character model, with dedicated placement for a shield and a banner.
What it does
Held and carried items are drawn on the character instead of staying hidden in the hotbar. The mod gives a separate position to shields and banners, and the display works with sword, trident, shield, bow, crossbow, banner and tool item types.
Visibility of each item can be switched on or off one at a time in a settings screen that opens with the V key by default. Items hidden there are not drawn for other players, which lets a player keep some gear private while showing the rest. The mod is a client-side install, so the server does not need it, although it can run on servers without issues. A multiplayer build exists in which other players see items the same way the owner does. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.7.10 – 26.3, and the mod is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source.
The author notes that support follows only the latest Minecraft version, and that the mod was first published on 2022-04-19. The latest Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files target 26.3.

Who it’s for: Players who want held weapons, shields and banners shown on their character model, and players who prefer to control which items other people see.
