Hand (Data Type)

A String used to indicate one of the hands of an entity.

Values#

Value	Description
main_hand	The entity’s main hand. By default this is the right hand, mirrored to the left hand for players who set “Main Hand” to “Left” in their controls.
off_hand	The entity’s off-hand (the other hand).

Each value is also accepted without the underscore (mainhand, offhand) and in its exact upper-case form (MAIN_HAND, MAINHAND, OFF_HAND, OFFHAND) for compatibility with packs written against upstream’s enum-style spelling. Mixed case (e.g. Main_Hand) is not accepted.

Examples#

"hands": [
    "main_hand"
]

Only consider the main hand.

"hands": [
    "off_hand",
    "main_hand"
]

Consider both hands. Equivalent to omitting the field on power types that default to both.
