WARNING

Even though "Held item" can be -1 to represent an empty slot, the client doesn't know how to render held item -1 on other players when they spawn in. As a result, this value must never be lower than 0! This only applies to if this packet is sent in isolation and not immediately followed up by an entity equipment packet. Read up on proper usage of this packet on the relevant behavior page!
