Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything after installing the resource pack?
No setup is required—just activate the resource pack in your resource pack menu and your hands will immediately appear in first-person view holding whatever item you're carrying.
Why do my hands look weird with my texture pack?
This resource pack works best with standard 16x resolution textures; if your texture pack uses a different resolution, the hand models may appear distorted or misaligned with your items.
Can I see my hands holding multiple items at once?
Yes, the resource pack displays the item in your main hand and your offhand simultaneously, so you can see your character gripping two different items.
Do the hands show different poses for different items?
Yes, your fingers wrap around items naturally based on what you're holding—tools, food, blocks, and fishing rods all have distinct grip animations.
Will this resource pack work with other mods that add new items?
The resource pack includes models for all vanilla items; custom mod items will typically display as a default hand pose unless the mod creator provides compatible hand models.
Does this affect my performance or FPS?
The added hand models have minimal performance impact since they only render in first-person view where you're already looking.
Can I use this with other resource packs at the same time?
Yes, this resource pack works well alongside other texture packs—load it above or below other packs depending on which textures you want to prioritize.
Why don't I see hands when I'm holding certain items?
The resource pack includes hand models for every vanilla item; if hands aren't visible, check that the resource pack is properly activated and that you're in first-person view.
Do the hands show when I catch a fish or pick up items?
Yes, the resource pack displays the exact item you're holding in real-time, including fish you've just caught and items in your cursor.
Are there special hand animations for potions and food?
The resource pack includes dedicated hand models for food and potions that show your fingers gripping them naturally, including lingering potions and healing potions.
