How to Fix Hold My Items Conflicts and Missing Animations

Why things break

Hold My Items hooks into first-person rendering and player animation. Any other mod that does the same, such as a first-person model mod, a combat animation mod, or a player-animation library, can override or cancel its effects. Symptoms include items floating again, missing hand models, or animations simply not playing.

Step-by-step diagnosis

1. Reproduce the problem with one action, for example eating or swinging a sword, so you have a clear test.

2. List every mod in your pack that touches first-person view, hand rendering, or player animation.

3. Disable them one at a time and retest after each change. Re-enable the ones that are not the cause.

4. Once you find the culprit, decide which mod you prefer for that feature. Many packs keep only one first-person renderer.

5. If the problem persists with no obvious conflict, test on a fresh world with only this mod plus its required dependencies.

Reducing future conflicts

Keep your animation and first-person mods to a minimum. When adding a new one, test eating, swimming, and a sword swing immediately, since those cover the mod's main animation paths. Client-side visual mods only affect your own view, so a friend seeing floating items means they are missing the mod, not that yours is broken.
