      In Minecraft Bedrock edition, the Offhand is way less powerful than MC Java Edition. You can only use shields, totems, arrows, and maps. (And maybe a couple other little things). In Java Edition, you can literally put anything you want in the offhand, and activate it when your main hand is inapplicable. This is really helpful. You can keep fireworks there for easy flight access, food for easy food eating, and use pairs. Some pairs are ladder and block (to make a quick ladder tower), Pickaxe and Torch (For mining), Pickaxe and block (for building), and many other things. Sometime there are two main inventory items you need for a project, and with the Offhand, you can just use one slot, whereas in Bedrock edition, you have to switch BACK and FORTH and BACK and FORTH. The offhand tool is a very convenient quality of life change, yet it hasn't been fixed in MCPE since it came out 4 years ago! We also need a button like F to swap hands, or even keep this button in the unmapped control category. I really hope that this relatively easy code-fix is implemented into MCPE.

      To Reproduce:

      • Go to any bedrock edition platform
      • open a world
      • open your inventory
      • try to put any item in your offhand. It doesn't work
