Clutch
by abyssal_mc
Clutch is a Fabric utility for the Minecraft pillar-and-clutch technique, which checks whether a water-bucket clutch can be made from the player's position and speed.
What it does
Before a jump, the mod reads the player's position and speed and estimates whether a clutch can land. The result is grouped by bladder peak tier, from impossible through difficult, medium and the least demanding tier, and the display changes as the setup changes. Players can toggle the overlay off with a configurable key.
The mod also includes a reset helper for practice runs. A reset point is stored as a platform position, a hotkey returns the player to the starting platform at a set pitch, and the default pitch of 77.0 degrees can be changed. An automatic movement option moves the player backwards during a jump. Setup generation writes out a setup command from an item and enchantment string, and a cursor offset option resets the GUI cursor to the screen center at 960,540 or disables that offset. Clutch requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License. It is open source, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Fabric builds of Clutch are published for the range listed on its page, with the latest build at 1.013 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-07-27. Its first release is dated 2024-09-10.
