🤛 GodHand 🤜

GodHand is a Minecraft Paper plugin that gives server operators control over a giant animated hand. The hand isn't just a summoned statue; it can actually move.

The hand can grab players, throw them around, attack them, protect them, perform animations, and much more. You can even customize the colors of the hand as well. Check the gallery for examples of this!

It uses item displays or optionally particles as a renderer. The item display renderer is set as default due to its edge in performance as the particle renderer may raise the ping of server members.

Features:

- Fully animated giant hand
- Custom attacks
- Grab, carry, or transport players
- Guard, bless, and protect players
- Punch, slap, smash, and slam attacks
- Cyclone attack
- Chase and stalk players
- Juggle and toss players
- Poses: thumbs up, thumbs down, middle finger...
- Multiple hand colors and visual styles
- Configurable quality settings
- Custom death messages
- Optional operator whitelist

📥 Installation

Download the latest GodHand .jar.
Place it inside your server's plugins folder.
Restart the server.
Make sure you are a server operator.

You can also improve the performance with a performance preset from low - high.

🤖 AI-Assisted Development

GodHand was developed with the assistance of AI assisted tools.

AI was used to help write, debug, restructure, and improve portions of the plugin. The project was still directed, tested, configured, and maintained by me.

I may remake or heavily rewrite this project in the future with little to no AI assistance. If that happens, I may add a donation option at that time (currently focused on college).

For now, GodHand is simply a free open-source project made for fun and experimentation, as I was told to publish this anyways by my server members on my SMP.
