    Since if Mojang will add offhand to minecraft the pvp will get easier and if we kill a skeleton in bedrock edition it will almost hit every arrow with no wrong aim but In Java we can easily kill it so I think offhand in bedrock is basic features mojang has to bring

    Dear Mojang Team,
    I am writing to express how much the Bedrock community—especially mobile and tablet players—needs the Full Offhand Feature. Currently, we are limited to only a few items like shields and totems. Bringing Java-style offhand support to Bedrock is one of the most requested features for a reason: it fundamentally changes how we play Survival.

    Every bedrock and PE player is so excited after see this.
    I think off hand make the game more fun and like java.
    We can pick a mending item in one hand and heal it by killing mobs by other hand.
    We can use two items at a time during pvp.
    Like killing mobs by right hand and eating food by left hand that's so fun. I'm so excited 😆.

    To Mojang and the Minecraft Team,

    As a Bedrock and Pocket Edition player, I want to request full off-hand functionality, just like Java Edition. This is the #1 parity feature we need.

    *Current Problem*: On Bedrock/PE, the off-hand slot is extremely limited. We can only hold arrows, totems, maps, and a few items. We can’t place blocks, use tools, or dual-wield properly. This breaks combat, building, and redstone for tech players.

    *Features We Need for Off-Hand*:
    1. *Place Any Block*: Let us hold and place torches, blocks, or scaffolding from the off-hand while mining with the main hand. This is huge for caving and building.
    2. *Use Any Item*: Shields should work on mobile without swapping. We should eat food, throw potions, fire bows, and use fireworks from the off-hand.
    3. *Dual-Wield Tools*: Mine with a pickaxe in main hand while holding a torch in off-hand to auto-place light. Java players have this and it’s a game changer.
    4. *Better Controls for PE*: Add a dedicated “use off-hand” button for touch controls. Or let us tap and hold to use off-hand items.
    5. *Visual Fix*: Show the off-hand item properly in first person and on player models, just like Java.

    *Why It Matters*: Off-hand is core to Minecraft’s gameplay loop. Bedrock players feel limited in PvP, survival, and building. Adding full off-hand support closes the biggest Java vs Bedrock gap. It helps mobile players compete and create faster.

    Please bring true off-hand to Bedrock/PE.

    As a bedrock player who watches java players. I voted for this. But don't need a button to USE it. There can however be an option button to bind, like pick block, to swap items from offhand to main hand and vise versa. On keyboard, it can be f to swap hands like java. On controller, use for example playstion controller, use square since it does the same as triangle which is inventory. On Xbox controller it'd be X to swap items since Y is open inventory. We don't need a button to use it. Just open your inventory and place it in offhand. But the button is option and unbinded by default for controller users. (I dont say console users because keyboard can be used on consoles to play minecraft)

    I think instead of a separe button. It would just work like java. If you have two blocks on each hand only one hand will work, but hear me out, if you have a sword on your offhand and a block on your main hand, for pc if you click left click it will place and for the right mouse button it would attack using the offhand weapon. For mobile they could do the same for the new buttons for touch if they have a block or weapon in each hand and they do a attack gesture which is tap then it will attack if you have a weapon on the hand with a weapon, if none then uses the mainhand, same fir consoles. And for the sheild i think they should just stick to criuching, because if your a touch ckntrol its pretty hard. I hope you see this and edit your feedback for everyone to see

    Bedrock devs not implementing this shows that they're lazy and incompetent.
