Ever noticed that Steve technically has two hands?
Steve finally learned how to use both arms.
Better With Hands adds an offhand to Better Than Adventure. Hold a torch while you mine, keep blocks ready while you explore, or fight with a sword in each hand.
Features
- Offhand slot in the inventory, right under the crafting result
- Offhand item shown in first and third person, with its own swing animation
- Offhand slot next to the hotbar, movable in the HUD editor
- Picked up items go into the offhand first when they stack with it
- Two swords: left click hits with the left hand, right click with the right hand
- Follows the game's left-handed setting
- Works in multiplayer, the server needs the mod too
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| F | Swap items between hands |
| X | Toggle which hand is used first |
Both keys can be rebound in Options.
