Unlock the true power of the offhand in Minecraft Bedrock by incorporating features from the Java Edition. You might not know, but in Java, the offhand has a much wider use than in Bedrock. This is historically due to the limitations of touch controls; however, since Bedrock is now more widely used on PC than ever, it is only logical to change this.
What offhand features are included?
- Place blocks from the offhand.
- Use buckets with lava or water.
- Plant crops from the offhand.
- Use fireworks to fly with Elytra.
- Place torches.
- Use throwable items.
- Torches and lanterns will be glowing in the offhand.
How to put items into your offhand: To put an item into your offhand, you can double-crouch. Alternatively, you can set a custom key in the game’s settings for the /swap command.
