Current behavior

The Sling now has a distinct Balearic-style item texture and works as a fast thrown-stone weapon, but its ordinary held/in-hand presentation still uses a basic handheld item orientation.

When a player or villager holds the Sling, the pouch and strings do not read like a sling being held naturally.

Expected behavior

The held/in-hand view should make the Sling look like:

  • both string ends are held in the hand
  • the leather pouch hangs downward
  • the pouch sits at the bottom of the strings
  • player first-person, third-person, and entity-held views all read naturally enough for play

Notes

This is visual polish only. The current Sling weapon behavior, projectile, recipe, and inventory icon are acceptable for now.

Files likely involved:

  • src/main/resources/assets/live-villages/models/item/sling.json
  • src/main/resources/assets/live-villages/textures/item/sling.png
  • possibly a dedicated item model with display transforms, or an authored 3D model if the 2D handheld transform cannot make the pouch hang convincingly
