Offhand Weapon Holstering Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make my offhand weapon actually appear in a holster?
Place an item in your offhand slot (default: F key) while holding a different tool in your main hand. The offhand item will automatically render as holstered on your character model instead of floating in front of you.
Do I need the right-handed or left-handed version?
Download the version that matches your character model's dominant hand. If you're unsure, the standard right-handed version works for most players; switch to left-handed only if your holster appears on the wrong side of your body.
Which tools and weapons does this pack support?
The pack works with standard tools like swords, pickaxes, axes, and shovels. Some modded items may not display correctly if they use custom models that conflict with the holstering system.
Can I use this with other resource packs?
Yes, but place this pack higher in your resource pack list than packs that modify character models or item textures to avoid conflicts. If your character model looks broken, adjust the load order.
Why does my holster look weird or not appear at all?
Check that you're using the correct handed version for your character model, and verify the pack is enabled in your resource packs menu. If you're using a custom player skin or character mod, it may override the holster visuals.
Does this work with armor or cosmetic mods?
It works alongside most armor mods, but cosmetic mods that heavily modify your character model may cause the holster to clip or disappear. Test with your specific mods to confirm compatibility.
Can I switch between right-handed and left-handed mid-game?
Yes—disable the current version and enable the opposite one in your resource packs menu. The change takes effect immediately without restarting.
Does this affect my gameplay or just visuals?
This is purely visual; it only changes how items look when held in your offhand and doesn't alter any game mechanics or combat.
What if my character model is left-handed but I want a right-handed holster?
Download the right-handed version of the pack. The holster placement is independent of your character model's handedness and depends only on which pack file you choose.
Will this slow down my game or cause lag?
No, this is a lightweight resource pack that only changes textures and models. It has no impact on performance or frame rate.
