Get Better Item Detail When Holding Tools

See Your Gear in Full 3D Detail

MLC Better Gear replaces flat vanilla item sprites with fully modeled 3D tools and weapons. To experience the best detail, you'll want to optimize how you view them.

Maximize Visual Quality

1. Hold items in your main hand — this is where the most detailed 3D model appears

2. Use first-person view for the clearest, most detailed perspective of your gear

3. Increase your render distance and graphics settings so the models render with full detail

4. Pair with Hold My Items mod — this mod improves hand positioning and makes 3D models even more visible and natural-looking

5. Position your camera to see different angles of the tool as you move

Viewing Items on the Ground

• When tools or weapons are dropped as items on the ground, they also display as detailed 3D models
• You can walk around dropped items to see them from all angles
• This is especially noticeable with pickaxes, swords, and axes in open areas

Best Experience

The mod shines brightest when you're actively using tools — chopping trees, mining, or fighting with enchanted weapons. The 3D detail makes every action feel more immersive.
