I would like to suggest adding full offhand functionality to Bedrock Edition, similar to Java Edition.
Currently, the offhand slot is very limited and only supports a few items like shields, maps, arrows, and totems. This makes gameplay feel restricted and less flexible compared to Java Edition.
Suggestion:
Allow any item to be held in the offhand
Enable using items directly from the offhand (placing blocks, eating, etc.)
Support dual-wielding combinations like sword + food or pickaxe + torch
Add a dedicated control/button for offhand use on mobile and controllers
Include an optional toggle for players who prefer the current system
Benefits:
Improves gameplay freedom and creativity
Makes mining, building, and combat more efficient
Brings feature parity with Java Edition
Enhances overall player experience
This change would make Bedrock Edition more enjoyable, modern, and consistent across platforms.
