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!

(Java Parity) be able to hold anything in your off hand.

In Bedrock, your off hand isn’t used for very much. The only usage I see, is for shields. I got excited when I saw you could put rockets in your off hand, but that’s just for choosing your ammo for a crossbow. In java you can use any item in your off hand. You can even have multiple tools. In java you also have a slot to your left in your hot bar, where you can see durability, and amount on your picked tool/block. Java players can also use a hotkey to simply switch the tool/block your holding, into your off hand. I would be very happy if Bedrock could have the same features as Java when we are talking about off hand. 😊

    I think even if there is no implemented button we should still be able to put items that are not shields in the slot, so that xp collected can add to the mending enchantment on the offhand item. For example when I am grinding xp by actively killing mobs, I have to kill them with my sword and then quickly switch to the hotbar slot with the item I want to repair. Instead we should be able to use the sword from the hotbar and then have the xp repair the item in the offhand slot.

    It would be great but I think I know why they didn't add it. It's because there is not enough buttons maybe

    Well there might be a problem for players on touch controls since they do not have a right click/left trigger functionality built in. I know there can be workarounds but it would just be more tricky for touch control users..


    Note: I do want this feature implemented! This seems like a must-need for us bedrock edition users but I don't think it could work well with touch controls. Still giving it a vote since it's such an awesome suggestion :)

    Would be handy to have the ability to hold a potion in your off-hand. :)
