This datapack is small and should have low prefomance impact. updates coming soon!
The Claw Item
The Claw is a new item that extends the players block placing and breaking range. (3 blocks) It does not allow you to attack or interact with mobs at farther distances. It must be held in either the mainhand or offhand in order to take effect.
Althogh this datapack was inspired by the Crab Claw item, introduced by Mojang in the 2023 mob vote, this datapack DOES NOT add the crab mob. Rather it goes with a simpler approach to obtaining the claw.
To craft the claw, you need 1 string, 2 copper ingots, an echo shard, and shears.
The Reach Enchantment
The Reach enchantment adds one block of range per level of enchantment. (level 1-5) You cant find it in an enchanting table, you have to trade with villagers and use an anvil.
