Offhand Guard

Keep unwanted items out of your offhand. Offhand Guard is a client-side Fabric mod that allows shields and totems of undying by default, while letting you choose your own allowed items.

Features

  • Protects vanilla swap-hands actions in the world and item transfers in inventory screens, including chests and the creative catalog.
  • Uses your configured Minecraft Swap Item With Offhand key binding.
  • Searchable allowed-items list with item icons.
  • Compact English settings through Mod Menu, with red OFF states.
  • Optional blocked-action sound, disabled by default.
  • Optional Hold to bypass binding, unbound by default. Supports keyboard and mouse bindings.
  • Emptying your offhand remains allowed.

Settings

Install the matching Fabric API. Install Mod Menu to open Mods > Offhand Guard > Configure. The settings order is Protection, Allowed items, Blocked sound, Hold to bypass, then Done.

Settings are saved in config/offhand-guard.json. Minecraft stores the bypass binding in options.txt.

Scope

Offhand Guard prevents accidental client input. It does not remove existing items or override inventory changes forced by a server, commands, or other mods. Compatibility with every third-party inventory mod or server plugin is not guaranteed.
