About this Mod

Highly customizable weapon back slots

Item render support custom transformations. Uses a Trinket back slot

Iron axe
Type /backslot for config. It's can be useful for items from other mods.

Example how to configure item render on the back

Pyre's Embrace from Too many bows:

Default bow position:
Pyre's Embrace from Too many bows

/backslot transform render RIGHT_HAND

/backslot transform render RIGHT_HAND

/backslot transform rotation x 90
/backslot transform rotation x 250
/backslot transform rotation x 90

/backslot transform rotation x 90 /backslot transform rotation x 250 /backslot transform rotation x 90

/backslot transform rotation y 240
/backslot transform position x 0.2

/backslot transform rotation y 240 /backslot transform position x 0.2

/backslot transform to view the settings for an item. You can click on the yellow button to copy the settings to the clipboard in JSON format. Then you can use /backslot transform json to apply the copied settings to another item

/backslot transform

Torchebearer from Too many bows:
Torchebearer from Too many bows:

/backslot transform json {"item":"too_many_bows:flame_bow","rotation":{"x":90.0,"y":240.0,"z":90.0},"translation":{"x":0.2,"y":0.35,"z":0.17},"scale":{"x":1.0,"y":1.0,"z":1.0},"mode":"third_person_right_hand","enabled":true}

/backslot transform json
Use /backslot save for save configuaration in config/flike/backslot.json

Use /backslot load for load configuaration from config/flike/backslot.json (It happens automatically on world loading)

Comparison with another BackSlot mod My mod:

Torchebearer from Too many bows after some config
Another backslot mod (u can't fix it):

Torchebearer from Too many bows in another mod

Compatibility The only problem I'm aware of is double rendering of item from another mod. It happens when another mod is using its own render for this item.

Use /backslot transform render FALSE to turn off my render for this item.
Example: backpack's from INMIS

Golden backpack from INMIS double render

/backslot transform render FALSE
/backslot save

/backslot transform render FALSE
