    Mojang does need to add this but why LT? Why not F and you can change the key via keybinds.

    Minecraft pvp in Bedrock edition would be much more fun in both console, pc, and mobile devices if the offhand would function the same as the mainhand does. We don't care if there would be a separate manual button for mobile device's controls in.

    Adding offhand for Bedrock Edition will

    been a huge change to Bedrock. I died in one of my worlds due to a creeper exploding me, me popping my totem, me in my inventory trying to put a new totem on, and another creeper explodes me, causing me to die in my world. I say that Minecraft Bedrock Edition for offhand will make it easier for the players to swap their totem from main hand, to offhand. Also allow players to use those items in their offhand,

    like placing blocks while it's in the offhand.

    Adding Offhand Feature and New Buttons

    Hello Mojang Team,

    I would like to request a new feature for Minecraft Bedrock Edition — full offhand support just like in the Java Edition. Right now, the offhand slot in Bedrock is very limited and can only hold a few specific items like shields or totems.

    It would be great if Bedrock players could use the offhand for more items, such as torches, food, maps, and arrows. This would make survival and exploration much easier and more balanced between Java and Bedrock editions.

    Also, please consider adding new customizable button options, especially for mobile and console players. For example, a separate button to use or switch offhand items, and the ability to rearrange or resize buttons freely on the screen.

    These changes would make gameplay more flexible, comfortable, and fair for all Bedrock players.
    Thank you for reading and for continuing to make Minecraft better! 💚

    At most (on playstation) they could get rid of the extra crouch button (circle is the extra crouch button, most people tend to use R3) and the extra inventory / crafting button (either triangle or square, I'd say keep square for crafting / inventory, both buttons lead to the same window) which would free up button prompts for using the offhand item and swapping main and off hand items.

    Yes, it's likely to be alot of rewriting code and work, but it should be do able, hope this helps.

    I play java and can't imagine not being able to hold a torch in my offhand. Or a bucket. Or food. I don't understand why this isn't something shared across versions, I could hold a shortsword and a sandwich IRL and I'm an unfit goose

    Off hand parity is so solid, I don't believe there is any degradation in gameplay either.
    There are only bonuses. Making off hand work with torches is amazing, being able to place blocks with you are holding a tool would be amazing.
    And I think it's simply a QOL feature, it doesn't give anyone a boost more then fair. I don't think touch screen users will hurt for it. Everyone wins.

    I am a human, and as a human i know they could very well have added a way to use the offhand in bedrock by now.

    Hope they listen to the community, I'll never forget about how a Bedrock dev said "What will you do with the offhand? To hold a poppy?"

    Adding full offhand capabilities to Bedrock is a very good QoL change that we Bedrock players would love to have. Please devs, it's how many years now that Java has full offhand. Let us Bedrock gang experience full offhand too.

    It's been 10 years since the combat update and bedrock still only has the capability for items with lesser functionality in the off-hand slot. How difficult is implementation? I, at first, assumed that the amount of inputs is greater than what is offered by handheld devices but actually playing java for the first time I now realize that it's literally just pressing one key. And even if that key is unavailable you can drag it into the off-hand slot by inventory! Should the priority for updates be marginal "game drops" or essential parity that pleases a broader community?

    It’s always felt weird after playing Java why Bedrock doesn’t have it. There are functionally no keybind requirements besides swapping main/offhand items. (Which you can do in the inventory.)

    The game prioritizes the main hand item, if the main hand item can’t be used, it’ll attempt to use the offhand item.
