Mage Hand is a magic-themed utility mod designed to introduce immersive automation to Minecraft. Unlike traditional industrial mods that rely on pipes and conveyer belts, Mage Hand offers a fantasy-centric alternative: summonable, animated spectral hands that perform physical tasks for the player. The project bridges the gap between high-fantasy aesthetics and practical gameplay utility.
- Summonable Servants: Players can craft and summon floating magical hands to act as autonomous agents in the world.
- Task Automation: The hands are programmable to perform specific repetitive loops, such as:
- Farming: Harvesting fully grown crops and replanting seeds.
- Mining: Breaking specific blocks in a designated area.
- Combat: Defending the summoner from hostile mobs.
- Immersive Visuals: Leveraging the GeckoLib animation engine, the mod features fluid, character-like animations for the hands, giving them personality and life beyond static block models.
- User-Friendly : Designed with accessibility in mind, allowing players to assign tasks without needing complex coding knowledge or GUI micromanagement.
“The goal was to make automation feel magical rather than industrial. I wanted players to feel like a wizard in a tower commanding their minions, rather than a factory foreman managing a machine.” — Skylor Beck
