What is parity? This category is designed just for features that exist but work one way on one platform, and another way on a different platform. Bugs are not parity! Items in snapshots and betas are subject to change so please be sure to only post about things that are currently released in Minecraft. Please read the intro post before you post!

Off-hand (Java Parity) (Hear me out. I’m not like the rest.)

I’ve given this a lot of thought. The off-hand is a highly requested parity feature but it has been argued that it would be difficult because Bedrock is the edition used on mobile.

Maybe, since Bedrock has weird properties, they could be an option in the settings, enable off-hand, that is normally switched off. It can only be turned on by people whose controls are compatible with off-hand mechanics. The off-hand feature cannot be enabled if your controls or device are incompatible. Then it would be fair for people who can actually use off-hand and play Bedrock.

Thanks!

    Easier solution: a button while using touch controls for “use offhand item”.

    I honestly think it would be as easy as making the use button use the offhand item by default and making a dedicated button to switch the main hand with the off hand.
