Offhand Addon - MCPE
Offhand Addon for MCPE
Minecraft Bedrock Edition has always been different from Java Edition in several ways, one of which is the limited use of the offhand slot. In Java Edition, players can easily place items like torches, totems, and shields in their offhand slot for quick access. However, Bedrock players have long been restricted to holding only specific items, such as maps and totems. Thanks to Raiyon’s Offhand Addon for MCPE (Bedrock), this limitation is removed, allowing players to equip and use a wide variety of items in their offhand slot.
This addon enhances gameplay by providing more flexibility in item management and interaction. Whether you are exploring deep caves, engaging in combat, or building structures, having the ability to hold items in your offhand greatly improves efficiency and convenience.
🤔How to Equip Items in the Offhand Slot
Using the Offhand Addon is simple, but the method differs based on the platform you are playing on.
For Mobile Users (Touch Controls)
-
To equip an item in your offhand, sneak twice quickly (double tap the sneak button in a short time).
-
The selected item in your hotbar will move to the offhand slot.
For PC/Desktop Users (Keyboard & Mouse)
-
Similar to mobile, double sneak (press the sneak button twice) to move an item from your hotbar to the offhand.
⛏️How to Use the Equipped Offhand Item
While equipping an item is straightforward, using it requires specific controls depending on your device.
For Mobile Users (Touch Controls)
-
Sneak and long press the use item button (which appears as a plus
+icon in the new touch controls). -
Crosshair mode is required for this functionality to work properly.
For PC/Desktop Users (Keyboard & Mouse)
-
Sneak and long press right-click to use the item in your offhand.
These simple mechanics allow players to quickly access and use their offhand items in various situations.
📃Items That Can Be Placed in the Offhand Slot
One of the best aspects of the Offhand Addon is the extensive list of items that can be placed in the offhand slot. This includes:
-
Building Blocks – Almost all types of blocks can be held.
-
Light Sources – Torches, Lanterns.
-
Resources – Ingots (Iron, Gold, Netherite), Gems (Diamonds, Emeralds).
-
Utility Items – Flint and Steel, Snowballs, Leads.
-
Crops and Farming Items – Seeds, Bonemeal.
-
Ender Items – Ender Pearls.
-
Buckets – Water, Lava, Milk.
-
Spawn Eggs – Allows for quick mob spawning.
-
Scaffolding – Useful for quick building and movement.
-
Boats – Handy for quick placement in water.
-
Cobwebs – Used in various clutch situations.
-
Beds – Can be placed in an offhand slot for quick respawning setup.
-
Anvils, Ladders – Useful for crafting and navigation.
Some Items Can Be Placed but Not Used
Certain items, while they can be placed in the offhand slot, cannot be actively used when held there. These include:
-
Snowballs
-
Leads
-
Ender Pearls
Despite these limitations, simply having these items readily available in your offhand can still be useful for quick inventory management.
✅Advantages of the Offhand Addon
The Offhand Addon significantly improves gameplay by allowing players to multitask more efficiently. Here are some of the most notable advantages:
1. Enhanced MLG Clutch Plays
With the ability to hold water buckets, ladders, and cobwebs in your offhand, performing MLG clutches becomes much easier. Whether you’re falling from a great height in the Overworld or trying to survive a high drop in the Nether, quick access to water or cobwebs can save your life.
2. Increased Efficiency in Mining and Caves
When exploring dark caves, having torches in your offhand means you can place them down while mining without constantly switching between your pickaxe and torches. This significantly speeds up resource gathering and improves visibility in underground areas.
3. Better Inventory Management
Instead of having to repeatedly open your inventory, you can keep essential items like bonemeal (for farming), flint and steel (for lighting portals or setting fires), and buckets (for water/lava collection) in your offhand for quick use.
4. Easier Structure Building
Builders will greatly benefit from this addon as they can keep scaffolding, ladders, and certain blocks in their offhand, making large-scale builds faster and more manageable.
5. Quick Access to Utility Items
Players often need to place boats in water, use leads on mobs, or set up beds quickly. With the Offhand Addon, all of these actions become smoother since these items are immediately accessible in the offhand slot.
