Offhand Addon MCPE enhances Minecraft Bedrock Edition by adding the ability to use an offhand slot, similar to the Java Edition experience. This addon allows players to hold items like torches, totems, and shields in their secondary hand, improving gameplay for mining, combat, and exploration. It is designed to be lightweight, mobile-friendly, and easy to use.

Installation

  1. Download the addon file with the .mcpack extension.
  2. Open the file to import it directly into Minecraft.
  3. Navigate to Settings → Global Resources within the game.
  4. Enable the Offhand Addon resource pack.
  5. If needed, turn on Experimental Features in your world settings.
  6. Restart your world to activate dual wielding functionality.

How to Use

To move items into your offhand, double crouch (sneak) quickly. Most items can be swapped this way, though a few exceptions exist. For example, to use a water bucket (such as for emergency water drops), crouch and tap the use button three times.
