Actually 3D Stuff reworks a wide range of vanilla items, tools, food, and enchanted books into three-dimensional models that show up properly in first person. It's a 16x resource pack for Minecraft Java, built specifically to pair with the Hold My Items mod, the Fabric mod that actually renders held items in the player's hands. Without that mod running, the pack has little to show.
What changes in Minecraft
The pack swaps flat vanilla item textures for blocky 3D models rendered in first person, in a vanilla-friendly style rather than a hyper-detailed overhaul. Diamonds, torches, potions, and armor pieces on armor stands all pick up the same treatment. The creator credits Actions & Stuff by Overville studio as the inspiration for the concept.

Which Minecraft versions does Actually 3D Stuff support?
The current release, version 1.4, targets Minecraft Java 1.21.11. The prior release, 1.3.6, covers 1.21.9 through 1.21.11. The creator says versions below 1.21.9 will most likely not be supported, and there is no plan to port the pack to newer versions until Hold My Items updates past 1.21.11.
Why does Actually 3D Stuff need Hold My Items?
Actually 3D Stuff only supplies the 3D item models and textures. Hold My Items is the Fabric mod that actually changes how held items render in first person, so the resource pack has nothing to display without it running alongside. ResPackOpts is optional and only adds extra configuration.
How is Actually 3D Stuff different from Actually 3D Blocks & Items!?
They are unrelated projects with similar names. Actually 3D Stuff is made by arch1vways and requires Hold My Items. Actually 3D Blocks & Items! is a separate pack from a different creator, listed on both Modrinth and CurseForge. Check the creator name on the listing before downloading.
Where can I download Actually 3D Stuff?
The pack is distributed from arch1vways' own Modrinth project page. That is the only listing this page links to; third-party mirrors and rehosts are not verified and are not linked here.
