Configs to blacklist items from being used in the offhand, enable attacking and breaking blocks with the offhand, and allow an empty offhand have all been added for additional functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your main hand item is not a sword and has a function, it will always be used over the offhand<\/li>\n<li>Arrows held in the offhand will be used first (complete with Et Futurum compatibility!)<\/li>\n<li>Placing and breaking blocks with the offhand<\/li>\n<li>Attacking with the offhand item and main hand item at the same time<\/li>\n<li>Fixes to the original offhand mod by tclproject<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Incompatible with Battlegear 2 and The Offhand Mod. If experiencing crashes with the shoulder surfing mod, change the crosshair type to &#8220;Dynamic&#8221; in your configs.<\/p>\n<p>Big thanks to TCLProject, the creator of the offhand mod.
