Understand the Dependency

This resource pack only works with the Hold My Items mod installed. The mod allows you to hold items in your offhand while performing other actions, and these hand poses animate those specific interactions.

Combine Offhand Items with Animations

When you hold an item in your offhand (using Hold My Items), the custom animations apply to your offhand arm:

  • Hold seeds or crops in your offhand, then plant with your main hand — see the offhand planting animation
  • Hold shears in your offhand while interacting with sheep or leaves
  • Throw items while holding something else in your offhand

Layer Multiple Animations

The pack is designed to work smoothly with Hold My Items' dual-wielding system. You can hold a tool in one hand and a utility item in the other, and the appropriate animation plays based on your action. This creates more immersive and realistic-looking interactions.

Verify Mod Compatibility

Ensure both Hold My Items and Respackopts are installed and up to date. The resource pack won't function without these dependencies, and animation glitches often indicate a missing or outdated mod rather than a pack issue.
