Bow animation broken in off-hand in third person
The bug
When shooting with a bow held in the offhand while in third person it looks like it's pointing towards the ground and there is no hand animation.
The picture on the left is the broken animation in the off-hand. The picture on the right is the animation in the main hand.
How to reproduce
- Take a bow
- Put it in the offhand slot
- Try and shoot with it

The following is based on decompiled version of Minecraft 1.11 using MCP 9.35 beta. All method and class names are the names used in the decompiled version.
The reason why this happens is because the method net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.RenderPlayer.setModelVisibilities(AbstractClientPlayer) is not setting the ArmPose's based on the used item, but instead based on what the items in both hands can do.
The following shows how this could be solved using the existing methods net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase.getActiveItemStack() and net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase.getActiveHand().
private void setModelVisibilities(AbstractClientPlayer clientPlayer) { ModelPlayer modelplayer = this.getMainModel(); if (clientPlayer.isSpectator()) { modelplayer.setInvisible(false); modelplayer.bipedHead.showModel = true; modelplayer.bipedHeadwear.showModel = true; } else { ItemStack itemstack = clientPlayer.getHeldItemMainhand(); ItemStack itemstack1 = clientPlayer.getHeldItemOffhand(); //... ModelBiped.ArmPose modelbiped$armpose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.EMPTY; ModelBiped.ArmPose modelbiped$armpose1 = ModelBiped.ArmPose.EMPTY; // Replaced this //if (itemstack != null) //{ // modelbiped$armpose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.ITEM; // // if (clientPlayer.getItemInUseCount() > 0) // { // EnumAction enumaction = itemstack.getItemUseAction(); // // if (enumaction == EnumAction.BLOCK) // { // modelbiped$armpose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.BLOCK; // } // else if (enumaction == EnumAction.BOW) // { // modelbiped$armpose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.BOW_AND_ARROW; // } // } //} // //if (itemstack1 != null) //{ // modelbiped$armpose1 = ModelBiped.ArmPose.ITEM; // // if (clientPlayer.getItemInUseCount() > 0) // { // EnumAction enumaction1 = itemstack1.getItemUseAction(); // // if (enumaction1 == EnumAction.BLOCK) // { // modelbiped$armpose1 = ModelBiped.ArmPose.BLOCK; // } // } //} if (itemstack != null) { modelbiped$armpose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.ITEM; } if (itemstack1 != null) { modelbiped$armpose1 = ModelBiped.ArmPose.ITEM; } ItemStack itemStackInUse = clientPlayer.getActiveItemStack(); if (itemStackInUse != null) { ModelBiped.ArmPose armPose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.EMPTY; EnumAction enumAction = itemStackInUse.getItemUseAction(); if (enumAction == EnumAction.BLOCK) { armPose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.BLOCK; } else if (enumAction == EnumAction.BOW) { armPose = ModelBiped.ArmPose.BOW_AND_ARROW; } if (clientPlayer.getActiveHand() == EnumHand.MAIN_HAND) { modelbiped$armpose = armPose; } else { modelbiped$armpose1 = armPose; } } // End replacement if (clientPlayer.getPrimaryHand() == EnumHandSide.RIGHT) { modelplayer.rightArmPose = modelbiped$armpose; modelplayer.leftArmPose = modelbiped$armpose1; } else { modelplayer.rightArmPose = modelbiped$armpose1; modelplayer.leftArmPose = modelbiped$armpose; } } }

Duplicate of MC-88356. Please write comments about a bug occurring in a version not already listed on the primary report rather than creating a new issue.
Thanks for the large report. We generally prefer one issue per report, though. Also, most of these have already been reported; feel free to vote for those ones:
Bows don't show animation while in offhand
This is MC-88356.
Shields and bows do not stay in the user’s hands when he aims with a bow and sneaks
This is MC-86127.
The sword slash particle animation is backwards when in third person front view.
I think this is MC-74764.
feature requests section
Feature requests should be posted onto /r/MinecraftSuggestions, not here; the tracker is for bugs only. Those are both fair suggestions (though you're not the only one who's suggested them).
The walking sound is not in sync with the players walk frequency in 3rd person, but in first person the screen bobbing is just right. Perhaps change the speed at which the legs & arms move?
I haven't noticed this one, and I don't think it's been reported. It does seem more like a feature request though. (I actually didn't realize that the bobbing was aligned; this'll probably bother me now 
)
Walking on carpets makes the sound and running particle effect of the block underneath it.
This is MC-8820, but it's fundamentally caused by the next issue...
Running near water shows the sprinting particle effect coming from the water. This just looks cheap.
This is MC-1133, and it's rather hard to fix unfortunately since it's a fairly deep issue in the engine.
Small, thin floating lines and gaps in the corners appear on a person's character model and tools they are holding in both first person and third person
This is either MC-73186 or MC-1794.
Shield does not appear to be shielding in multiplayer when it actually is.
This sounds like MC-86253, but that was already fixed. It might also be MC-82995?
Why do spiders horizontally! Plz mojang! It’s not that difficult to fix!
Not entirely sure what you mean by this, so I'm going to go with 5.
In general, these are all valid bugs, but they've already been reported. Please search first, and try to stick to one bug per report, thanks.
