Heavy Gauntlet introduces a craftable pair of oversized combat gauntlets. They replace ordinary hand-to-hand attacks with a distinct fighting style, animated punches, and a special strike that damages enemies around the player.
Appearance
The gauntlets use a large three-dimensional model with dark metal, gold trim, and a moving texture. Both hands remain visible while the player walks and fights, giving the weapon a heavier presence than a normal sword or tool.
Combat animations
Regular attacks use their own punching animation instead of the standard item swing. The movement is designed around close combat, so the weapon looks and feels like a pair of powered fists rather than a reskinned melee item.
Area attack
The special move releases a circular impact around the player and hits several nearby targets at once. It is useful when enemies surround the player or when a group needs to be pushed back before continuing the fight.
Crafting
The recipe surrounds a Nether Star with eight iron ingots. This makes the gauntlets a late-game weapon that must be earned after defeating the Wither and gathering a full set of metal resources.
