📋 About This Mod
Fix the sprinting animation where the player still appears to be holding a torch after unequipping it.
This error only occurs when the player is equipped with weapons while sprinting and the torch on their left hand is cancelled (such as setting a shortcut key for the torch or opening a menu to cancel the torch and keep sprinting)
This is a simple animation replacement, but it requires OAR to achieve real-time swapping effects.
