| '''Dual wielding''' is a [[Minecraft:gameplay]] mechanic that allows players (and some [[Minecraft:mob]]s) to hold two [[Minecraft:item]]s or [[Minecraft:block]]s{{only|Java}} simultaneously.

| {{see also|Tutorial:Dual wielding}}
| |
| | |
| Players can equip an item to the
| |
| {{slotSprite|Offhand|scale=0.5|align=text-top}} off-hand slot from the [[Minecraft:inventory]], similarly to [[Minecraft:armor]]. Players can also select an item and press {{key|F}} by default to automatically equip it. The off-hand slot then appears beside the [[Minecraft:HUD]] opposite from the main hand. If the player is in [[Minecraft:first-person view]], then the off-hand appears in the screen along with the held item. Whichever hand should be the main hand is configurable in the [[Minecraft:Options#Skin Customization|Skin Customization]] menu.
| |
| | |
| The off-hand can use the item it holds when there are no items with a {{ctrl|use}} function in the main hand (e.g. [[Minecraft:trident]]s, which can be thrown), or the item held on the main hand cannot be used directly (e.g. [[Minecraft:axe]] while not looking at a [[Minecraft:log]], [[Minecraft:wood]], or an [[Minecraft:oxidized]]/[[Minecraft:waxed]] [[Minecraft:Copper#Oxidizing blocks|copper block]]). Otherwise, the main hand takes priority over the off-hand. Players also cannot {{control|break}} blocks or {{control|attack}} with the off-hand, even if nothing is held in the main hand.
| |
| | |
| === Combat ===
| |
| [[File:DualWielding.png|thumb|250px|A player holding a [[shield]] and an [[Minecraft:iron sword]].]]
| |
| | |
| A player can equip a [[Minecraft:bow]], [[Minecraft:crossbow]], [[Minecraft:spear]], or [[Minecraft:trident]] in their off-hand. So far, these are the only weapons that can be used in the off-hand slot or in conjunction with another weapon. This allows for higher damage output, as players no longer have to switch between weapons; however, it disables the use of a [[Minecraft:shield]]. Players can left-click to attack with the equipped main-hand weapon (namely a [[Minecraft:sword]] or [[Minecraft:mace]]) and right click to attack with the off-hand weapon. However, if a [[Minecraft:player]] collides with an [[Minecraft:entity]] or another player while using a [[Minecraft:Riptide]]-enchanted trident, damage is dealt with the item in the player's main hand.
| |
| | |
| [[Minecraft:Shield]]s can be held in the off-hand as defense. They do not take priority over the main hand, and cannot be used if the main hand item has a {{ctrl|use}} functionality (such as a [[Minecraft:bow]] or [[Minecraft:spear]]).
| |
| | |
| [[Minecraft:Arrow]]s held in the off-hand are prioritized over other arrows in the [[Minecraft:hotbar]] and the inventory. Players can equip a specific arrow in their off-hand slot to fire it with a bow. If the bow is held in the off-hand, then the arrow selected on the hotbar (with the main hand) is prioritized.
| |
| | |
| === Tool use ===
| |
| When a tool with a right-click function is held in the off-hand with another tool or weapon selected in the hotbar, right-clicking on a block that is relevant to the off-hand tool uses that off-hand tool unless the selected tool in the hotbar can also be used on the same block, in which case the hotbar tool has priority.
| |
| | |
| When a [[Minecraft:firework]] is in the off-hand slot and is being used with a crossbow, right-click and hold to charge and when ready, right click again to fire a firework. Fireworks can be fired from crossbows only when in the off-hand slot.
| |
| | |
| === ''Bedrock Edition'' ===
| |
| {{IN|bedrock}}, only a select few [[Minecraft:item]]s can be placed in the off-hand slot and be dual-wielded. Some are related to combat, like [[Minecraft:shield]]s, [[Minecraft:arrow]]s, [[Minecraft:tipped arrow]]s, [[Minecraft:firework rocket]]s or a [[Minecraft:totem of undying]], while others are for exploring, like [[Minecraft:filled map]]s or [[Minecraft:explorer map]]s, and for aesthetic such as [[Minecraft:sparkler]]s{{Only|education}}, [[Minecraft:photo]]s{{verify|Tested in Bedrock Edition using an inventory editor to obtain it, I do not have Education Edition to test this there.|edition=education|}}, and [[Minecraft:nautilus shell]]s. Other items can be placed into the off-hand slot by using the {{cd|/replaceitem}} command, but most items are unusable.
| |
| | |
| === Mobs ===
| |
| Some mobs are also able to dual-wield, albeit to a more limited degree. For mobs that cannot pick up items, [[Minecraft:command]]s must be used in order for them to dual-wield.
| |
| | |
| The following mobs can dual-wield items:
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Zombie}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Husk}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Drowned}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Zombie Villager}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Skeleton}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Stray}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Bogged}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Parched}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Wither Skeleton}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Zombified Piglin}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Piglin}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Piglin Brute}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Pillager}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Vindicator}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Evoker}}
| |
| * {{EntityLink|Vex}}
| |
| | |
| Mobs do not actively use/consume most items or blocks in their off-hand, with a few exepctions:
| |
| * {{ItemLink|Totem of Undying}} - used when the mob takes [[Minecraft:death|fatal damage]].
| |
| * {{ItemLink|Arrow}}, {{ItemLink|Spectral Arrow}}, {{ItemLink|Tipped Arrow}}, {{ItemLink|Firework Rocket}} - used when an applicable mob is holding a [[Minecraft:bow]] or [[Minecraft:crossbow]] in their main hand. The held item is consumed when used as ammunition.
| |
| | |
| When a mob picks up a [[Minecraft:shield]], they place it in their offhand if the slot is available.
| |
| | |
| [[Minecraft:Drowned]] are the only mob that can naturally spawn dual-wielding items, those being a [[Minecraft:trident]]/[[Minecraft:fishing rod]] in the main hand and a [[Minecraft:nautilus shell]] in the off-hand.
| |
| | |
| [[Minecraft:Piglin]]s temporarily dual-wield when [[Minecraft:bartering]]/inspecting a gold-related item while holding a weapon.
