greetings hi hello srp community
has any of the following ever happened to you?
in minecraft 1.21.1 there is a bug that makes it so that animal armour (any horse armour and the new wolf armour) behaves SLIGHTLY different in the offhand. right clicking with any of these in your offhand causes them to switch to your main hand. it ONLY affects these animal armours, and was patched in a snapshot for 1.21.2. feel free to read more into the mojang bug report here https://bugs-legacy.mojang.com/browse/MC-273300
the fix therefore could be done client side, so i did.
https://modrinth.com/mod/fixoffhandswitch (does not work on version 1.21.3 w/ feather, maybe some others too)
for those who are the reason shampoo has instructions; this one's for you
a server plugin fix should be possible, i looked into one and tested it on a local test server. it's just not as pretty as doing it client side
lastly, some fun little demonstrations (open spoiler)
UPDATE 29/5/25; fixed some compatibility issues, if you have problems with fabric loader just redownload the mod, make sure it's version 1.3
has any of the following ever happened to you?
- ever tried calling someone with your phone in offhand, only to accidentally right click- ending the call and killing your phone?
- tried holding an item in your offhand to showcase it with /am , only for it to disappear after an unlucky extra right click?
- ever been paranoid about having your faction's radio in your offhand because it goes nuts every time you right click?
- had out any kind of offhand-able cosmetic item, like a bag; and having it turn into a school planner when you right click?

for those who are the reason shampoo has instructions; this one's for you
- go to the link above, find fix-offhand-switch-1.3.jar on the page and click there (or just click here directly)
- place this mod into your client or loader as you please, it's compatible with any fabric modpack, feather and lunar.
- if you still need help with this, here's a guide for all three. default fabric, feather, lunar
- if you use a modpack, you might need to update the loader. here's how you do that on modrinth and curseforge
- wow you did it, you will never experience this bug again
