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.}
