What it does

Players set the exact X, Y and Z position of the hands and held items in the first-person view, and adjust each item's scale and rotation so it appears smaller, larger or tilted. Combat animations can be tuned as well, including swing speed and block-hit visuals, so the overall feel of a fight can be matched to personal preference. Every option is adjustable in-game through sliders that show their effect in real time, and changes take effect without a restart.

The mod draws on the first-person hand customization of the Hypixel Skyblock PvP mod DulkirMod, which took its look from classic combat. It is a client-side mod, so only the player's own game needs it and servers do not. Installation needs Fabric API, Resourceful Config and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) alongside it. Mod Menu is optional, and when present it opens the configuration screen from the main menu. Files are published for 26.1.2 and 26.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.

Questions

Does SkyHands need Fabric API?

Are settings changed in a menu or in files?

Settings are changed in-game. Players do not need to restart the game or edit files by hand to apply them.
