介绍

HandSwing Toggle is a tiny client mod that lets you turn off the first-person hand swing animation — the quick down-and-up arc your held item makes every time you swing, attack, or place a block. Vanilla offers no setting for it: View Bobbing controls walking sway, but the per-swing arm flick is always on.

What it does

A single key (K by default) toggles the first-person hand-swing animation on or off.
When off, your held item stays steady in your view while you mine, attack, and place blocks. Damage, block breaking, item use, hit registration, and packet timing are completely unaffected — only the local animation is suppressed.
Other players still see your normal arm swing in third-person — the server-side swing packet is sent as usual, so multiplayer behavior is identical.
Action-bar message confirms the new state every time you toggle.

Why

Accessibility / motion sickness. Some players get queasy from the constant per-click arm flick, especially during fast mining or PvP. Vanilla View Bobbing: off doesn’t disable swing arcs — this mod does.
Clean stream feed. Streamers and recorders who want a calmer first-person view (especially with high-attack-speed combat or rapid building) can flatten the held item completely.
Focus. With the hand-swing arc gone, the crosshair area stays visually quiet — easier to read HUDs, durability bars, or aim with a bow.

Controls

K — toggle hand-swing animation on/off. Default is on (vanilla behavior). The action-bar shows Hand swing: ON / Hand swing: OFF when you press it.

Notes

Pure client-side, no server install needed. Works on any Fabric server, fully vanilla compatible — the server can’t tell the mod is there.
One small mixin into LivingEntity.swingHand(Hand) that no-ops only for the local client player when toggled off. Other entities and the network packet path are untouched.
No config file; the setting is per-session (resets on restart). Default-on so installing the mod doesn’t change your game until you actually press K.
~80 lines of code, no extra dependencies beyond Fabric API.
