Please Improve Off-Hand Functionality in Bedrock Edition

Hello Mojang team! I'm a long-time Minecraft Bedrock Edition player, and I'd like to suggest expanding the functionality of the off-hand slot, just like in Java Edition. Currently, we can only use shields and a few items in the off-hand, but we cannot actually use most tools or items like torches, food, or blocks while holding them in the off-hand. This limits the gameplay experience, especially for builders and adventurers. I understand Bedrock is optimized for multiple platforms, but even a small toggle in settings to allow more off-hand use (especially for Windows 10, console, or keyboard users) would be amazing. This feature would make the game feel more unified between Java and Bedrock, and would make the Bedrock experience even better for millions of players. Thank you for the great game, and I hope you consider this idea!

    Yes please add offhand feature to bedrock. Java players are often grouped differently from bedrock players. In bedrock edition the wither has double the hearts of java wither which adds difficulty to mobile players. So by adding offhand feature like java, bedrock players can improve their gameplay experience and enjoy the game. One last thing MOJANG offhand in bedrock should be able to hold all the blocks, ores, weapons, tools, other items like torches, food, water bucket, lava bucket, fences, wood, etc.Take this initiative and support bedrock pkayers, unite java and bedrock players together…… :)

    Adding Off-hand to Bedrock would be a major improvement for the game, especially since this version has a way more players in it and give better vision of the game. I agree with everything said in this post.
