haze hand

A concussive hand cannon disguised as a glove. Each use launches a fiery projectile at high velocity that detonates on contact with any surface or vermin, producing a shockwave within a 4-block radius. The blast deals no damage whatsoever — only raw knockback, biased upward and scaled inversely with distance from the impact point.

The knockback strength is significant: 20.0 at point-blank, divided by the target's weight and attenuated by range. Because the player counts as an Entity, standing near your own detonation launches you as well. Firing downward into a wall directly beneath you converts that self-knockback into vertical lift, which makes the haze hand a crude but effective climbing tool for low walls where the grappling hook lacks enough runway to build momentum.

Each shot costs 1 durability out of a maximum 400. The projectile travels at 32 blocks per second, explodes on the first solid block or entity it touches, and despawns after 7 seconds if it hits nothing. Obtained exclusively from the blessing cube at a 5% drop rate.
