Hand Renderer Event

The handRenderer event is a client-side event that allows modification of how a player's hand and held items are rendered. This event provides various rendering-related parameters that can be used to customize the rendering behavior. Cancelling the event with event.cancel() will make it so the hand is not rendered.

Syntax

AnimationJS.handRenderer(event => {
    const { player, partialTicks, poseStack, combinedLight, buffer, itemInHandRenderer } = event
})

Parameters

The event object contains the following properties:

• player (Player): The player whose hand is being rendered.
• partialTicks (float): The partial tick time used for smooth interpolation.
• poseStack (PoseStack): The matrix stack used for transformations.
• combinedLight (int): The light value at the render location.
• buffer (MultiBufferSource): The buffer used for rendering.
• itemInHandRenderer (ItemInHandRenderer): The renderer for the item in hand.

Usage Example

To modify the way the player's hand is rendered, you can transform the poseStack or override the rendering behavior:

AnimationJS.handRenderer(event => {
    const { poseStack, player } = event

    if (player.isCrouching()) {
        // Apply a transformation to the hand when the player is crouching
        poseStack.translate(0, -0.2, 0)
    }
})

Notes

• This event runs on the client only.
• You can use this event to modify the positioning or behavior of the player's hand during rendering.
• Avoid performance-heavy operations within this event, as it is called every frame.
