Activate Hand Sway Animation

Finding the Hand Sway Option

AlphaLook Shaders includes an optional hand sway feature that adds subtle movement to your held items and hand when you walk. To enable it:

1. Open Shader Options from your Video Settings

2. Search for a setting labeled hand sway, item sway, or hand animation

3. Toggle it to ON

Customizing the Effect

Once activated, the sway will automatically trigger whenever you move:

  • The effect is most noticeable when holding items or tools
  • Sway intensity may be adjustable—increase it for more dramatic movement, or decrease it for subtle bobbing
  • The animation syncs with your walking speed, so faster movement creates more pronounced sway

This feature adds a layer of immersion to first-person gameplay. If you find it distracting during precise building or combat, you can toggle it off at any time without restarting your world.
