Hextech Armory

🔷 Hextech Mod – Gauntlets & Hammer Phase (v0.1.0-alpha)

A combat-enhancing mod inspired by the magic and tech fusion seen in Arcane. This first release brings you the beginnings of your journey into the power of Hextech.

🥊 Atlas Gauntlets

The Gauntlets are powerful tools of offense and defense with three unique mechanics already implemented:

• 🛡️ Damage Blocking: When actively blocking, melee damage is reduced, and projectile damage is completely negated.
• 💨 Dash Ability: Press R (default keybind) to perform a forward dash. Great for dodging or mobility.
• ⛏️ 3x3 Mining: When equipped in the offhand, the gauntlets enhance diamond and netherite pickaxes to mine in a 3x3 area.
• 🖼️ Custom Texture: Now rendered with visuals.
• 🔧 Coming Soon: Rendered as if held in both hands for a more immersive look.

⚠️ Crafting not yet implemented – the recipe is being designed for balance and progression.
