📋 About This Mod

# Offhand Tweaks **Stop accidental shield blocks and misplacing torches!** Offhand Tweaks is a lightweight, highly customizable Quality of Life (QoL) mod that gives you complete control over your offhand slot. Selectively disable offhand right-click interactions based on item categories, freeing up your Right Mouse Button (RMB) for interacting with the world, opening chests, or tweaking machinery without constantly unequipping your offhand item. ## ✨ Features Every player can configure their own independent settings. The mod allows you to toggle offhand right-click interactions for specific categories: * 🛡️ **Shields:** Disable right-click blocking. Perfect when you only want the shield for passive stats or are working with complex block interactions. * 💡 **Light Sources:** Stop accidentally placing torches, lanterns, or lamps while trying to interact with blocks in front of you. * 🍖 **Food:** Toggle the ability to eat food directly from your offhand. * 🧱 **Other Blocks & Items:** A global toggle to restrict placing or using any other unspecified blocks and items from the offhand slot. ## ⚙️ How It Works (Zero Desync) Unlike simple client-side macros or basic server-side scripts that cause annoying "ghost blocks," inventory desyncs, or jittery animations, **Offhand Tweaks uses a robust Client-Server synchronization system.** When you change your settings, your client immediately notifies the server via a custom network packet. This ensures that the event is gracefully canceled on both logical sides at the exact same time. * **No ghost blocks.** * **No fake hand-swing animations.** * **No wasted items.** ## 🔧 Configuration & Setup * **Client-Side Config:** Players can easily change their preferences through the standard Forge config menu (or by editing the config file directly). * **Multiplayer Ready:** Each player on the server has their own isolated configuration. Disabling your offhand shield won't affect your friends! * **Installation:** For multiplayer, this mod **must be installed on BOTH the Client and the Server**. In singleplayer, just drop it into your `mods` folder. ## 📦 Requirements * Minecraft 1.20.1 * Minecraft Forge

# Offhand Tweaks

Stop accidental shield blocks and misplacing torches! Offhand Tweaks is a lightweight, highly customizable Quality of Life (QoL) mod that gives you complete control over your offhand slot. Selectively disable offhand right-click interactions based on item categories, freeing up your Right Mouse Button (RMB) for interacting with the world, opening chests, or tweaking machinery without constantly unequipping your offhand item.

## ✨ Features

Every player can configure their own independent settings. The mod allows you to toggle offhand right-click interactions for specific categories:

🛡️ Shields: Disable right-click blocking. Perfect when you only want the shield for passive stats or are working with complex block interactions. 💡 Light Sources: Stop accidentally placing torches, lanterns, or lamps while trying to interact with blocks in front of you. 🍖 Food: Toggle the ability to eat food directly from your offhand. 🧱 Other Blocks & Items: A global toggle to restrict placing or using any other unspecified blocks and items from the offhand slot.

## ⚙️ How It Works (Zero Desync)

Unlike simple client-side macros or basic server-side scripts that cause annoying "ghost blocks," inventory desyncs, or jittery animations, Offhand Tweaks uses a robust Client-Server synchronization system. When you change your settings, your client immediately notifies the server via a custom network packet. This ensures that the event is gracefully canceled on both logical sides at the exact same time. No ghost blocks. No fake hand-swing animations. No wasted items.

## 🔧 Configuration & Setup

Multiplayer Ready: Each player on the server has their own isolated configuration. Disabling your offhand shield won't affect your friends!
