How to Change the Off-Hand Shield Slot to a Hand Icon

Inside both the survival and creative inventory screens, the off-hand equipment slot normally displays a shield outline. Dark Coffee GUI – Extras includes the Hand Instead of Shield module, which replaces that shield slot symbol with an off-hand hand graphic for cleaner inventory management.

Applying the Hand Icon Tweak

To make the hand graphic appear in your inventory without losing the dark coffee theme, you need to stack the module over the main resource pack.

1. Navigate to Options and open the Resource Packs menu.

2. Make sure the main Dark Coffee GUI pack is active in the right-hand Selected column.

3. Find the Hand Instead of Shield module in the left-hand column and click its icon to move it into the active list.

4. Click the up arrow on the Hand Instead of Shield pack until it sits directly above the base Dark Coffee GUI pack.

5.

Combining with Other Extra Modules

Because each tweak in the Extras pack modifies a different part of the user interface, you can use Hand Instead of Shield alongside the Normal Hunger module at the same time. Simply place both extra modules above the base Dark Coffee GUI pack in your resource pack list. When you open your survival or creative inventory, the off-hand slot next to your character model will now display the custom hand icon.
