Held item positions are incorrect
This has been a bug for as long as I can remember, so basically what happens here is that items that are in your hand are slightly rotated to the left (or right, depends on if it’s on the offhand). Blocks are not affected by this.
I left some attachments with text showing which version is which for you to easily notice the difference.
Steps to reproduce:
- Hold any items in either hands (cant be a block)
- Go in 3rd person front
- Look closely at the item
Expected Results:
The item should be facing straight forward.
Observed Results:
The item is slightly rotated.

thank you, i added the 1.18.30.21 preview and beta versions on the affected versions list.

I believe the reason as to why the brush isn’t affected is probably because it has a custom held item position in the code itself.

Might relate to MCPE-152487
I don’t think it does since it only recently started happening, meanwhile MCPE-152487 has been a bug for years now. But I can see it somewhat being related.
This may be caused by the rotation of held items as per MCPE-152487.
Thank you for your report!

This issue is now being tracked at MCPE-152487.
The persistent tilt of the item is actually a bug on Bedrock, as noted in MCPE-152487. The slight rotation of 2D items in hand was eliminated in Java Edition 1.8 and Legacy Console Edition TU49.
This likely caused by MCPE-152487. But in theory, there should be no difference in the held positions of items between RTX, and the default graphics.


Affects 1.18.30.20 Beta/ 1.18.30.21 Preview
I think this issue is exactly the reason of why MCPE-17366 happens.
Yes, that’s probably why both the bug reports are related.
This issue may be also the cause of MCPE-148177.
Still an issue in 1.19.60
Curioursly, Brushs aren't affected by this issue.
Affects in 1.20.20.20 Preview
A similar issue was reported for Java Edition in MC-268481. The slanted appearance was eliminated from Java Edition in version 1.8 and from Legacy Console Edition in TU49.
