Moon Val Gauntlet

Quickstart

1. Craft the Moon Val Gauntlet or the Blood Moon Val gauntlet using the recipes below.
2. Equip the gauntlet in your main hand (it also works in the off-hand).
3. Right-click / use-item ("Activate Ability") to trigger abilities. Each hand fires a different set of abilities, and holding one gauntlet in each hand lets both fire together in sync.
4. Try sneaking or timing your clicks to feel out the activation window—inputs are gated briefly to prevent accidental double-triggers.
5. Watch your cooldowns: each ability locks out for several seconds after use, so plan your combos.

Overview

Moon Val Gauntlet adds two matching magical melee weapons—the pale Moon Val Gauntlet and its aggressive counterpart, the Blood Moon Val—each granting a set of six unique combat and utility abilities split between main-hand and off-hand use. Both gauntlets share the same core mechanics but apply their own themed effects, letting you build a full "dual gauntlet" playstyle by wielding one in each hand.

What It Adds

Both gauntlets:

• Deal solid melee damage and can be enchanted like a sword.
• Have high durability and can be repaired with amethyst shards (small repair) or diamonds (larger repair).
• Glow with a magical enchantment shimmer.
• Can be equipped in either hand, enabling simultaneous dual-wielding of abilities.

Crafting And Obtaining

Both recipes require a golden helmet, nether star(s), and a stick, arranged on a crafting table. The Blood Moon Val additionally requires a redstone block.

Abilities And Mechanics

Each gauntlet has six abilities: three tied to the main hand and three tied to the off-hand. Activate abilities with your normal use/attack input ("Activate Ability"); the game briefly limits rapid re-clicking to avoid misfires.

Blood Moon Val abilities:

Dual-Fire Sync: Wielding a gauntlet in each hand allows their main-hand and off-hand abilities to trigger together, letting you layer offense and defense (or utility) in the same action.

Passive Effects: Simply fighting with a gauntlet equipped can proc passive effects on a short internal cooldown, such as brief slows on enemies or bonus regeneration when both hands are dual-wielding gauntlets.

Activation Inputs: Abilities respond to use-item input, with support for detecting sneak-based double-activation and jump-timed inputs, giving you a few reliable ways to trigger specific effects.

Progression And Strategy

• Start with a single gauntlet in your main hand to learn its three core abilities and their cooldown rhythm.
• Craft the second gauntlet type and dual-wield (one per hand) to unlock synchronized ability combos and passive dual-wield bonuses.
• Manage cooldowns deliberately—longer-duration abilities like wards and mobility buffs have long lockouts, so use burst-damage abilities (Lunar Shatter, Eclipse Fang, etc.) as your primary combat tool while saving utility abilities for key moments.
• Keep amethyst shards or diamonds on hand to repair your gauntlet's durability between fights.
