About this Mod
Offhand Mining
This Mod lets you use the Offhand to mine Blocks with a Pickaxe and attack Enemies with your Sword.
Alpha State
The Mod is for now, only in Alpha Version, because it has a lot of bugs. I hopefully will fix them, but I wanted to share it anyway, so if you want to test it, enjoy it.
Known Bugs
- Iron, Diamond, Netherite Pickaxe will instantly mine Blocks
- Wood Sword is a bit weaker in Offhand (for example, a Pig needs 5, not 3 Hits)
- Mining/Attacking Animation for Off and Mainhand
- Missing Animations for Pickaxe and Sword
