About this Mod
Always renders the players offhand, along with the mainhand. (Except when it doesn't make sense).
Spiritual successor to Visible Offhand for modern Fabric versions. The mod is extremely simple. There is no toggle, no configs.
Currently works exactly as expected :
✅ Handles off hand item rendering
✅ Correctly renders each arms individual texture
✅ Stops rendering when the player is charging bows / crossbows, or wielding a charged crossbow
✅ Independent behavior from main hand
✅ Extremely light weight

Please report any compatibility issues on github. Please note some mods I will not bother adding compatibility for. This mod is extremely light weight, and for the most part does it's job exactly as it should. The only mods that would really interfere with this would typically be mods that add functionality that would need to be expanded on their end. Regardless, please dont hesitate to open an issue. I will look into it.
You are free to fork, reuse, and redistribute this mod so long as your purpose is not commercial. Please do not reupload or redistribute if you have not changed the project in any meaningful way. Thank you.
