I have had my eye on this mod for sometime now and recently I got my new PC built so I could play Minecraft again. Only now I had noticed that the mod had been abandoned. The mod can be found Here. I was really looking forward to this mod but the developer completely abandoned it (and according to him, all video games) and I would really like it if someone could pick it up. If I had more Java experience, I would work on it myself, however I am not in depth as many others here.
I know there are some of you who would find this useless (left handed players included) but this isn't for you, this is for the people who have a use for it. For me, it is uncomfortable with every game I play, there is nothing on the left side of my screen. I fire rifles with my left hand, I spar with my left hand, etc., etc., and for 2 reasons. Because I am left handed and because I am left eye dominant. I would like to see some change in the world, and some change in the games we play. If someone could make Left Handed Minecraft a thing, and for the most up to date version, I would forever give them my gratitude. Possibly give them a cookie.
If you would like to take this project up, let me know, I would be excited to see work on this get done. And if you have any thoughts about the matter, remember this: If the roles were reversed, and left handed people were the dominant majority, there would be right handed people asking for right handed mods and right handed games, but some of them wouldn't get their voice heard because 10% is such a low number, what could it possibly matter. Just food for thought.
The reason was that the coding stuff and all that made it really hard to make dual wield mods and stuff.
I said hard not impossible. I am not a modder but I am sure if this were to happen it would be really hard to make and if it were made it would be incompatible with most mods.
I would like to hope not but we shall see. The person who created the initial mod abandoned it and sadly I hate seeing that. And it wasn't just this mod, it was video games and media as a whole which is very... interesting. Anyways, thanks for the comment! (also I love your Red Vs Blue avatar!)
Any updates from you guys? I would love to see/hear of some sort of progress My hopes are that they add in Left Handed view in the Combat update, but not sure if they will.
@tim4242 As far as I know, this has already been done, maybe you know (the glorious) AdventureCraft ? You were able to use both hands, but the tools etc. in the left hand were mirrored, you could see that if you picked up a map. However, AdventureCraft was (I think) last updated to MC1.8 (pre) or something like that, it has been discontinued :'(
Maybe that's a good idea, someone could do that maybe
Maybe you could do it by using a potion effect, or the way the portal effect works? I don't really know anything about those things, but maybe it will work that way?
I'm also left handed but I think you really need to just adapt to using your right hand in video games. Thats how I did it.
With all do respect, sir, you are part of the conformed talking like that. No real left handed person should ever think such a thing to be minuet. It may not be the same to you, but the fact they add colorblind mode in but not a left handed mode feels a bit unfair. Color blind people are 8.5% - 10% of the world population. Left handed is about 10% - 15%. For me, being left handed in a right handed world is a disability when it comes to using anything mas-produced like tools, guns, props, etc. But will I let that conform me in video games? The one place I can do what I want in an alternate reality? I have for a while, but I can't any more, and I shouldn't have to begin with. Nobody should.
Within the medieval era, they murdered anyone who was left handed or burned them at the stake. Then they moved on by just conforming them in school by slapping their left hand/wrist with a ruler/rod. Finally, after many years of that, we were allowed to use the "Devil's hand". We are almost there to being recognized as part of society, but until we have a spot in the gaming industry, I will fight for this. Sure, it is a minuet detail to some. You guys have been wrist slapped by the gaming industry and are conformed and you are "okay with it" and think "just get over it/used to it" but I can't let that slide. People should be able to represent themselves in sandbox games like this. They shouldn't have to "deal with it".
Summery: I will not allow myself to be conformed any longer. It shouldn't HAVE to be this way. It should be equal. It should be fair. I fight for left handed equality. And I will continue doing so to get left handed gamers recognized. And if you want to say "deal with it" then you aren't left handed anymore. Not in the world you represent yourself in. You are as right handed as the rest of the 90%.

Rifles???????!!!!
Hmm. Im not going to promise anything. Keep that in mind, but I will see what I can do. I will let you know if I can reboot it.
Thank you!
I am new to the fourms just made a account today but I will see what I can do to reboot this mod!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Anyone having any luck? Would love to know! Thanks guys.
I thought this was impossible since 1.6

I hate doing this but *bump*.
Any updates from you guys? I would love to see/hear of some sort of progress My hopes are that they add in Left Handed view in the Combat update, but not sure if they will.
Hm. Interesting. The last update the original modder did was make it to where you could switch hands seamlessly.
Any new updates guys? Would love to know if anyone has made progress.

II'm right handed, so I really woldn't need the mod that much, but I'm sure that you would a lot of lefties out there, so why not
We do only make up 10-15% of the world, but it is a very unrepresented and disrespected 10-15%. All the updates are very helpful!

Chill dude... You aren't being conformed to anything
