About this project
What does Cripple Player add?
Cripple Player
A limb damage and prosthetic mechanics mod for Minecraft. Introduces functional biological limb loss upon lethal damage events, movement and interaction penalties for missing limbs, craftable tiered prostheses equipped via dedicated accessory slots, and an in-game clothing texture overlay editor.

Features
1. Limb States and Disabilities
Arm Penalties
- One Arm Missing: Disables swinging, attacking, and block mining with that side.
- Both Arms Missing: Disables holding items in either hand and blocks hotbar item selection swaps.
Leg Penalties
- One Leg Missing: Reduces horizontal movement speed to zero.
- Both Legs Missing: Forces the player into a continuous crawling (prone) state and completely disables jumping.
2. Lethal Damage Interception
When taking fatal damage, the mod can intercept player death under configurable conditions:
- The player survives with
1 HPand enters an interception cooldown (default: 20 minutes). - One or more biological limbs are severed depending on the damage source and damage overflow:
- Fall damage targets legs.
- Explosions calculate multi-limb severance probabilities based on overkill damage tiers.
- Drowning and void damage are excluded and remain unconditionally fatal.
3. Passive Modifiers and Enchantment Stacking
- Fall Damage Mitigation: Every equipped leg prosthesis grants a passive 25% fall damage reduction (up to 50% when wearing both legs).
- Fire Damage Mitigation: Every equipped Netherite prosthesis grants a passive 10% fire/lava damage reduction (up to 40% for a full four-piece set).
- Boot Enchantment Compatibility: Leg prosthetics can receive standard boot enchantments (
Feather Falling,Soul Speed,Frost Walker, etc.). - Bilateral Enchantment Stacking: Equipping matching enchantments on both corresponding limbs (left and right) increases the effective level by one tier (for example,
Soul Speed Ion both legs functions asSoul Speed II).
4. In-Game Clothing Editor
An integrated editor screen is accessible via a tab button in the player inventory:
- Allows painting custom clothing masks directly over equipped prosthetics.
5. Commands and Configuration
Administrative Command
Requires permission level 2 (operator):
