Barehanded
A Sable based mod that allows players to physically detach, move, rotate, and rebuild blocks using their bare hands. No tools required!
🧱 Detach & Carry
Immersive Physics: Crouch and walk backwards while holding both clicks to pull!. |
Smart Connectivity: Automatically detects and safely detaches connected structures like double chests. |
🫳 Grab, Push & Rotate
Grab & Rotate: Hold sub-levels in mid-air and rotate them freely using custom keybindings. |
Push & Interact: Apply physical force to move heavy objects, vehicles, or structures around. |
🔨 Build & Disassemble
Disassemble: Slam a grabbed sub-level against a block or press [Q] to snap it back into the world. |
Physics Placement: Toggle placement mode with [X] and place blocks directly as physics objects. |
⚔️ Survival Friendly
💪 Weight & Tension: Heavy structures drag heavily or snap the connection if you stretch your arms too far. |
🧪 Potions & Hunger: Strength potions multiply your lifting force, while carrying heavy loads realistically drains your hunger bar. |
🌌 Creative Friendly
🦾 Infinite Power: Bypass all physical limits with infinite strength and maximum structural stabilization. |
🔭 Boundless Reach: Grab, pull, and manipulate massive structures from virtually any distance. |
