| Action | Controls |
|---|---|
| Grab (Toggle) | Press [G] to toggle grab on/off without holding clicks |
| Grab (Hold) | Hold Left + Right Click simultaneously |
| Adjust Distance | Scroll mouse wheel or use [-] / [=] keys |
| Assemble Blocks | Sneak + Hold Left + Right Click on a world block, then walk backwards to pull! |
| Detach Sub-Level Blocks | Sneak + [Alt] + Hold Left + Right Click on a grabbed sub-level, then pull! |
| Lift Interactables (Like Chests) | Hold Left Click first, then Right Click to avoid opening UI. |

## [1.6.6]
### Changed
### Fixed
### Added
> **Note:** Translations were AI made and may contain inaccuracies. Contributions on github are welcome.
### Changed
- Rotation Movement Lock:** Refactored movement locking during object rotation to ignore movement inputs rather than overriding entity physical velocity. Also, this option is now disabled by default.
- Exhaustion Rates:** Adjusted hunger depletion rates to be less aggressive when holding or moving heavy objects.
### Fixed
- Rotation Collision Filtering:** Fixed an issue where
ignoreCollisionsRotationSelfwas not applied properly on the client side during active rotation. The player can now rotate objects through themselves without collision when enabled.
### Added
- Config Option:** Exposed
preventMovementWhileRotating(Client) (Disabled by default) in the configuration screen to allow/disallow player movement while actively rotating a sub-level. - Localization Support:** Added complete, language files for **31 locales**:
en_us, en_gb, en_ca, en_au, en_nz, en_in, es_es, es_mx, es_ar, es_cl, es_co, es_ec, es_pe, es_uy, es_ve, pt_br, pt_pt, de_de, de_at, de_ch, fr_fr, fr_ca, zh_cn, zh_tw, zh_hk, ru_ru, ja_jp, hi_in, id_id, ko_kr, pl_pl.> **Note:** Translations were AI made and may contain inaccuracies.

- Sable: Ragdolls Compatibility:** Added compatibility with the *Sable: Ragdolls* mod to prevent interactions with ragdolls that cause server crashes and physics exploits.
- HUD & Animation Flickering:** Fixed a visual bug where the grab HUD and arm animations would briefly flicker on the client when a grab attempt was rejected or canceled by the server. The client now properly delays rendering the grab state until it receives explicit server confirmation.

Download
## [1.6.0]
### Added
### Changed
### Fixed & Compatibility
### Added
- Assembling/Disassembling onto sub-levels:** You can now merge/detach a grabbed sub-level directly into another existing sub-level.
- Grab Keybind:** Added a dedicated keybind (default G) to toggle grabbing sub-levels without needing to hold both mouse buttons.
- Distance Adjust Keybind:** Added new keybinds (default - and =) to push or pull grabbed objects using the keyboard, as an alternative to the mouse scroll wheel.
- Camera-Locked Rotation:** Added new configuration options to automatically rotate the grabbed object synchronously with the player's camera pitch and/or yaw.
- Grabbable Tag and Whitelist Mode:** Added the #barehanded:grabbable block tag and a "Whitelist Mode" config option. When enabled, only explicitly tagged blocks can be grabbed.
- Spectator Grabbing:** Added a configuration option to allow players in Spectator mode to grab and interact with sub-levels.
- Grab Unbreakable Blocks Config:** Added an explicit configuration option to allow grabbing unbreakable blocks (like Bedrock, Barriers, or Command Blocks).
- Config Auto-Backups:** The mod now automatically creates .backup files of your outdated configuration files before migrating them to new versions, ensuring you never lose your custom settings during an update.
### Changed
- Physics & Elasticity:** Grab physics have been refined. Added new parameters for "Grab Elasticity", heavy object mass curves, and sway edge factors to make handling heavy objects feel more realistic.
- Scroll Speed:** Distance adjustment speed is now dynamically reduced based on the object's mass and the player's current encumbrance, making heavy objects feel harder to pull close.
- Input Interception:** Changed how vanilla inputs (mining, using) are suppressed while grabbing to prevent accidental block interactions and continuous punching loops much more reliably.
### Fixed & Compatibility
- Controller Support:** Fixed an issue where using a controller would cause the grab to drop due to input state overrides. The mod now correctly reads analog triggers without breaking the controller's internal state.
- Prop-Surfing:** Added more physics checks and tethering to prevent players from flying or infinitely accelerating while standing on or interacting with sub-levels.
