This is fork of offhand from TestificateMods. This fork only add bug fix, because original mod author looks to be incative. I expect that this mod will be removed, if original author fix this isue in his repository and ContentDB. Code: https://github.com/sfence/offhand/tree/sfence_fix_bad_hud_remove

Offhand Items

This is a port of mcl_offhand for use with any other Minetest subgame. Instead of using the offhand as a shield slot, this mod lets you use it for any item of your choice. You can switch items between hands by pressing a configurable button (by default aux1 or E). When using a tool, press right-click to use the action of your offhand. This lets you place torches and other nodes without having to put away your sword or pickaxe.

Compatibility Notes

Recommended Mods

This mod should work with any game and configuration. However, the following mods are recommended to make the most out of it:

• visible_wielditem - Attaches a 3D preview of the held item in your main hand. Recommended for visual consistency. Disable the wieldview mod if you also use 3d_armors.
• wielded_light - Registers held items as light sources. Also works for items in your offhand. You might also be interested in the 3d_armor_light extension.

Mineclone

Mineclone subgames are not supported as this offhand is likely to conflict with their own implementations.

Bones (redo)

For use with the "bones (redo)" mod, go into that mod's settings and add "offhand" to the list of handled inventories:

bones.lists_to_bones = main,craft,armor,offhand

The normal bones mod will work out-of-the-box.
