Hold My Everything!

A drop-in replacement for the default Hold My Items! animation pack. Same base behavior, more gestures.

This pack is a full fork of the default HMI pack — it reuses every motion the default pack already had and adds extra first-person gestures on top. You install this instead of the default pack, not alongside it.

What this pack features

• Cold-hand shiver — your hand trembles when you hold snow, ice, packed/blue ice, powder snow, or snowballs, and when you walk on snow, ice, or snow blocks. Holding a warm item (torch, soul torch, redstone torch, lantern, soul lantern, campfire, soul campfire, lava bucket) cancels the shiver so warmth wins over cold.
• Underwater float drift — when your head is submerged and you're not actively swimming, your empty hands buoyantly drift upward with slow wandering motion, like you're suspended in the current.
• Dive pose — falling fast while looking down toward water below triggers a proper diving silhouette, smoothed with spring physics so it builds and releases naturally instead of snapping.
• Elytra glide pose — once you're airborne long enough and moving at glide speeds, the offhand pulls back into a steady gliding stance.
• Throwables — splash potions, lingering potions, eggs (regular, blue, brown), snowballs, wind charges, ender pearls, ender eyes, and experience bottles all get a wind-up grip and a proper release, with the offhand doing the dropping-back motion when you throw from the main hand (and vice versa).
• Planting — pink petals, wildflowers, leaf litter, and chicken food get a kneel-and-place motion with a hang-and-drop arc; offhand mirrors when the item is in the main hand.
• Shears — full two-handed grip with the blades visibly snipping when you use them. Uses a custom 3D shears model and texture sourced from Just 3D Stuffs by Winters (credit and thanks to Winters for the asset).
• Sword 3-hit combo — sword swings now cycle through three variations instead of repeating the same arc, with the third hit becoming a forward thrust/stab.

Beta Notice

This pack is currently in beta. Bugs, weird interactions, and animation issues are expected while things get expanded and refined.

The plan is to keep actively updating and improving the pack over time, fixing issues and adjusting features based on community feedback and suggestions.
