Display a Tool or Weapon on Your Back

How It Works

Back Tools Mod automatically displays the last tool or weapon you were holding on your character's back. You don't need to do anything special—just hold a tool or weapon in your hand, and it will appear visually on your back when you switch to something else or put it away.

Displaying Your Tool

1. Hold any tool or weapon in your main hand (pickaxe, sword, axe, shovel, hoe, bow, etc.)

2. Switch to a different item or empty your hand

3. Your previously held tool will now display on your back

4. The tool stays visible until you pick up a different tool or weapon

What Gets Displayed

Most standard Minecraft tools and weapons will display, including:

  • Pickaxes, axes, shovels, and hoes
  • Swords and other melee weapons
  • Bows and similar ranged weapons
  • Custom tools from other mods (compatibility varies)

The mod shows a 3D model of the actual item, so enchanted or custom-textured tools will display their appearance accurately on your back.
