Admin's Gauntlets
by owenboogie
Admin's Gauntlets adds three overpowered gauntlets, inspired by Minecraft Story Mode, that are meant for server admins to give to favorite players.
What it does
Each gauntlet is a Magic item with a fixed strength: the green one deals 20 damage with 10 blocks of knockback, the red one deals 40 damage with 20 blocks of knockback, and the golden one deals 60 damage with 30 blocks of knockback. The gauntlets are unobtainable in survival mode, so an admin hands them out with commands or by placing them in a chosen spot. The mod also includes a quartz pillar made with a stonecutter and a small bonus feature with glowing obsidian.
The mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It requires extra emissive textures in its .mcmeta files for some blocks to glow, and the author credits MCreator and Blockbench for the assets and tooling. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Three power tiers
Green, red and golden gauntlets scale damage and knockback, so each one hits harder and pushes further than the last.
Admin-only distribution
Because the gauntlets cannot be obtained in survival mode, admins decide who receives each one.
Glowing obsidian feature
A small bonus adds obsidian blocks that glow, using emissive textures the mod ships with.
Quartz pillar block
A quartz pillar can be cut from quartz blocks at a stonecutter, providing a decorative building piece.

How it compares
Soul Gauntlet is also a Forge 1.20.1 mod for client and server, and it is not open source. Spayzers' Story Mode Additions targets Forge 1.20.1 as well but is server-side only and not open source, so players need nothing installed. Zipir Havaci is a client and server Forge 1.20.1 mod released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.
