This you can do easily.

Recipe (Java Edition)

Recipes provide a structured way for players to perform item and block transformations in-game. Every crafting, smelting, blasting, campfire cooking, smoking, stonecutting and smithing recipe uses this system. Recipes are data driven and can be configured by data packs.

what about the punch animation?

I don't know for 100% certain that that's impossible, but I do know that if it is possible, it's going to be fairly hard and complicated.

#

Player animations are not a thing we can do with data packs in the way you're thinking/like Bedrock can. We have to fake it, and faking it in a way that uses the player's skin is, if possible, a lot of work

hm

#

I had an idea

#

instead of a punch animation

#

use both hands normally

#

but how do I set an item to occupy both hands slots?

#

The /item or /loot command.

#

#
