Keep Your Weapon Visible While Maintaining Clear Vision

The Balance Between Visibility and Weapon Feel

Some resource packs shrink weapons so much they become unrecognizable sticks. Others leave them so large they block half your screen. Small Swords Hani finds the middle ground — your sword stays clearly visible as an actual blade while freeing up screen space.

How the Pack Achieves This Balance

1. Blade shapes remain distinct — you can still see the unique silhouette of each sword type (diamond, netherite, iron, etc.) in your hand.

2. Model size is reduced proportionally across all sword types, so the visual consistency is maintained whether you're holding a wooden or netherite blade.

3. The weapon doesn't disappear — it's smaller than vanilla, but not so small that you lose the sense of holding something substantial.

When This Matters Most

This approach works best when you want to:

  • Track fast-moving opponents without visual obstruction
  • See your own character model and armor during combat
  • Maintain immersion by keeping weapons recognizable
  • Reduce screen clutter without sacrificing weapon identity
