DoubleHands Functional Offhand Like Java Edition
Description
DoubleHands
Lore: True mastery of survival requires the use of both hands. A torch or tool is just as effective in the left hand as it is in the right.
DoubleHands: Functional Java-Style Offhand for Minecraft Bedrock
DoubleHands is a revolutionary Minecraft Bedrock addon designed to bring Java Edition offhand parity to your world. If you've ever wondered how to use a torch in your offhand on Bedrock or wanted to place blocks while holding a tool, this is the solution. Unlike basic cosmetic mods, this functional offhand addon allows you to hold and use items in your left hand exactly like the Java Edition.
Compatible with Minecraft Bedrock 1.21+, it works perfectly on Realms, Dedicated Servers (BDS), and single-player worlds. Whether you need a dual-wielding mod for combat or a utility offhand for mining, DoubleHands provides a seamless, lag-free experience for mobile, console, and PC players.
This addon has built-in dynamic lighting, hold any emmisive item and it will give off light.

This addon allows you to put all items and blocks in off-hand, and also makes it possible to place blocks AND USE MOST ITEMS (like redstone, crops, torches etc) from off-hand if main hand is empty or has a tool. (Just like java edition). It also allows for use of projectiles like snowballs from offhand (with some exceptions).
Features:
Place any blocks in the game with offhand
Liquid & Bucket placement
Main Hand Priority: Using tools for actions like stripping logs, tilling dirt, or using bows prevents offhand placement
Farming: Seeds and crops can be planted efficiently with crops in offhand and hoe/harvesting in/with main hand.
Expanded Item Support: Full offhand support for Flint and Steel (placing fire), Buckets, technical items like Tripwire Hooks and almost all other usable items .
Immersive Feedback: All offhand actions play the correct sound effects.
Fireworks support: Fireworks can be used while flying from offhand, doesn't matter what you're holding in main hand.
Projectile Support: throw things like eggs and snowballs (with some exceptions)
Usage:
To swap items to offhand, you have 4 different ways:
Double-sneak to move item to offhand
Use the emote "overthere" and it will move your current item to offhand

You can use the command /swap to move item to offhand:

And the best one for keyboard users, in mc version 26.0, there is an option to set custom key maps, so you can press a key on keyboard to move item to offhand easily. set it up like in image:

Then if you have a tool in your hand (or nothing), blocks in your off-hand will be used instead (just like java edition).
Installation:
Import the .mcpack and apply it on world, no experiments needed
Known Limitations (These are not fixable for now due to bedrock's limitations)
Placement Issues:
Item frames may break when placing blocks from offhand nearby
Flower pots can be placed mid-air
Feature Limitations:
Cannot eat food from offhand
Firework flight duration differences not supported (all give same boost)
the blocks appear smaller in size on offhand, this is a bedrock bug, this has no impact on the addon tho.
Details:
26.0 and above (use versions older than 3.5.0 for older game versions)
This pack doesn't use experiments, so it will probably continue to work as intended even after updates to game.
It also doesn't use player.json, so it will be compatible with all other addons (theoretically)
