is it possible remove second hand for item?

I want to make two-handed item with custom animation, want somehow turn off second hand while this item in hand (like it works with loaded crossbow in main hand). 

Guys don't you have any ideas how to do it? Is this possible in mcreator?

May be possible, can use player animator to two hand a weapon, could also use a keybind set to F so when used it switches the item in offhand back to the inventory, and a tick update, when item in offhand = any item remove it and add it back to the inventory, you would have all of this be dependent on a variable which would turn true and false depending on the two handed item in main hand.

i usually avoiding procedures which may works every tick (I guess it's not good for optimization), but it's actually sounds as good idea, thank you! untill another solution exists i will try to do something similar

I guess it could be suggestions for MCreator Team make new item procedure or checkbox in item preference which may turn off second hand for item 👀

checkbox like this could do:

  • while two-handed item in main hand, make item in second hand not usable
  • hide second hand

unfortunately, vanila two-handed items are only loaded bow and loaded crossbow, so any two-handed melee not really vanila like, in mcreator this may be added only thanks plugins (with hands animation), so I don't sure MCreator Team really needs waste time to features like this (but to me it could be cool)

could be interesting to read opinions...

i have an idea turn "to-handed-item" to "ranged weapon" and make it always loaded (as crossbow)

it's probably very bad idea
