Pawbound Crawler

Quickstart

1. Gather leather and string, then craft Hand Paws at a crafting table:

1. Gather leather and white wool, then craft Feet Paws:

1. Equip the Hand Paws in either your main hand or offhand.
2. Equip the Feet Paws in your feet armor slot.
3. Try moving around with both equipped. Your attacks will be disabled and you will take on a crawling pose with slowed movement.

Remove the paws from their equipment slots to return to normal combat and movement.

Overview

Pawbound Crawler adds two wearable paw items that impose different restrictions:

• Hand Paws disable offensive combat.
• Feet Paws make you crawl and slow your movement.
• Wearing both activates both effects at the same time.

The active effects are shown on your action bar while the paws are equipped.

What It Adds

Feet Paws do not provide armor protection. They have 256 durability and can be enchanted as boots.

How To Use

Hand Paws

Place Hand Paws in either hand slot. While they are equipped:

• Melee attacks deal no damage, including attacks made with swords, axes, and maces.
• Offensive item use is blocked for bows, crossbows, tridents, snowballs, eggs, ender pearls, wind charges, and firework rockets.
• Other non-offensive item interactions remain available.

The action bar displays Hand Paws • attacks disabled.

Feet Paws

Equip Feet Paws in the feet armor slot. While they are equipped:

• Your player uses a crawling pose.
• Your movement is slowed by Slowness II.
• The action bar displays Feet Paws • crawling.

Wearing Both

When Hand Paws and Feet Paws are equipped together, both restrictions apply. The action bar displays:

Hand Paws • attacks disabled Feet Paws • crawling

Crafting And Obtaining

Both items are crafted at a crafting table and are also available in the Creative equipment inventory.

Hand Paws

Hand Paws require leather and string.

Feet Paws

Feet Paws require leather and white wool.

Abilities And Mechanics

Paw effects are based on whether the items are currently equipped:

• Moving a Hand Paws item out of both hand slots removes the attack restriction.
• Removing Feet Paws from the feet slot removes the crawling pose and movement penalty.
• The action bar updates to show each currently active effect.
• Hand Paws occupy a hand slot, so that slot cannot simultaneously hold another item.

Progression And Strategy

Pawbound Crawler is a challenge and roleplay-focused experience rather than a power-up system. Craft the paws early when you want to practice navigating without combat, then combine them for the full crawling challenge.

Useful approaches include:

• Keep Hand Paws in your offhand when you want to restrict combat while leaving your main hand available for harmless tasks.
• Use Feet Paws when exploring or traveling under a self-imposed no-combat rule.
• Carry both recipes’ materials so you can switch between normal play and the pawbound challenge whenever you choose.
• Remove the paws before entering a dangerous fight or needing normal movement.
