About this project
What does Crab Claws add?

One of the most important features announced at the Minecraft 2023 conference was the possibility of adding crab claws to the game, which would allow the player to break and place blocks at a greater distance. Unfortunately, the idea was scrapped, and will never be in Minecraft... oh wait, this mod adds them!
Players will now be able to find these crab claws in treasure chests or water structures, and with them equipped, it will be possible to break and place blocks 8 blocks away. You can also interact in other ways!
We recommend that the tweezers be placed on the secondary hand!
