Flatter Items: 2D Held Sprites

A resource pack for Minecraft 1.20.1 to 1.21.11 that flattens the models of held items, removing the vanilla extrusion for a crisp, retro 2D look.

No extra mods required!
This pack works entirely using vanilla model overrides. Just drop it into your resource packs folder and enjoy the flatness.

? Why This Exists

By default, Minecraft takes 2D item textures and extrudes them to give them a 3D blocky thickness when held in the hand. While iconic, this doesn't always fit the aesthetic of certain modpacks, retro-themed playthroughs, or players who simply prefer the aesthetic of classic, flat sprites.

Flatter Items solves this by:

• Compressing the Z-axis scaling of item models to near zero.
• Preserving the vanilla texture layers and mapping logic.
• Maintaining compatibility with almost any texture pack you layer under it.

✨ Features

? Truly Flat Handheld Models

• Items held in the main hand and offhand are squashed completely flat, removing the chunky pixel extrusion.
• Items dropped on the ground are affected too.

? Complete Weapon Support

• Bows and Crossbows: Fully supported, including all drawing animation frames.
• Swords and Tools: Every tier of sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, and hoe is covered.

? Smart Layering Preservation

Because this pack scales the model rather than rewriting the texture layers, items with multiple components (like leather armor overlays, potions, or tipped arrows) retain their colors and dynamic textures perfectly.

? Resourcepack-friendly by design

• This pack does not include textures, only model geometry overrides.
• This means it will automatically apply to any other resource pack you load below it. If you have a pack that changes the diamond sword texture, it will still show up as your custom texture—just flat!

⚠️ Known Compromises

Excluded Items

Certain items rely heavily on their 3D structure for animations or correct hand placement. Making them 2D completely breaks their visual functionality. For this reason, the following items are intentionally left untouched:

• Tridents
• Shields
• Spears

? Compatibility

Note on 1.21.4+ Changes

In Minecraft 1.21.4, Mojang significantly altered how item models and layering logic are handled (moving to the /models/items path). This resource pack uses a built-in overlay folder (overlay_1_21_4) to dynamically adjust to these changes. The bow and crossbow models are cleanly handled in this overlay to ensure smooth animations without texture override conflicts.
