Description from the author on Modrinth

Hold My Items

Hold My Items is a mod that allows your hands to be visible in first person, meaning you can actually hold your items instead of using your psychic levitation powers!
It comes with many custom animations, which are able to be changed or modified through resource packs!

WARNING!! THIS MOD DOESN'T SUPPORT JAVA 22 USE JAVA 21

This mod has a plethora of hand-coded animations, which includes things like sword swinging, pickaxe mining, lantern physics, and more!
If you'd like to check out more of these animations, you can head over to the gallery tab!
