✋ Editor: Hand Types

The Hand Types editor option allows you to define whether the generated item will be a 1-handed or 2-handed weapon, and the chance for each type to roll.

This affects how the item is handled in combat, and whether it can be used with another item in the off-hand.


⚙️ What It Does

  • Sets a tag on the item: ONE_HAND or TWO_HAND.
  • You assign a chance (or weight) for each type to roll.
  • If the item rolls as TWO_HAND, it disables the off-hand slot when equipped.

🛠️ How to Use

  1. Open the Item Generator Editor.
  2. Click Hand Types.
  3. Add one or both options:
    • ONE_HAND
    • TWO_HAND
  4. Assign a drop chance or weight to each.

💡 Example

- ONE_HAND: 70%
- TWO_HAND: 30%

This means 70% of the time the item will roll as one-handed, and 30% as two-handed.


🧠 Notes

  • A TWO_HAND item prevents the use of a second item in the off-hand.
  • The hand type is a tag used by the plugin’s engine to enforce behavior or lore display.
  • Useful for differentiating weapon archetypes like daggers vs greatswords.
