OneHandNeededRework (Host Required)

⚠️ THIS IS A REWORK OF A DEPRECATED MOD CONCEPT

This project is a host-required QoL rework inspired by the deprecated but widely used mod: https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Swaggies/HandsNotFull/

That mod has long been treated as a QoL convenience (not a cheat) by the community.
This rework exists to provide a safer multiplayer experience with clearer rules and config sync.

What it does

Vanilla behavior:

• Two-handed items set the player into a Hands Full state.

This mod:

• Reduces / removes that restriction as a quality-of-life improvement.
• Adds host-controlled rules and optional host->client config synchronization.

---

IMPORTANT: Host Required (Safe Mode)

✅ The mod only activates if the host also has the mod installed.

• If the host does not run the mod, clients will not get any client-only behavior.
• This avoids confusing partial functionality and reduces desync risks in public lobbies.

Configuration

Host Settings (HOST ONLY)

TwoHandedItemsBeforeHandsFull

Meaning: how many two-handed items you can already have BEFORE picking another two-handed item causes “Hands Full”.

• 0 = unlimited (never block due to two-handed items)
• 2 means you can end up carrying 3 two-handed items

Why “+1” can happen:

• The threshold describes the state before the next pickup.
• Depending on timing, the newly grabbed item may not be counted in inventory slots yet when the check runs.
• This is intentional and now explicitly documented.

SyncConfigToClients

• true (recommended): host pushes settings to all clients.
  Clients use host values at runtime regardless of their local config.
• false: clients use their own “Client Settings” values (still host-required).

---

Client Settings (CLIENT ONLY fallback)

Used only if the host disables SyncConfigToClients.

Clients still require host mod present. If host doesn’t have the mod, nothing happens.

---

What it does NOT do

• Does not bypass server authority
• Does not change item stats
• Does not affect living enemies (carrying living enemies remains fully vanilla)

---

Disclaimer

• This is a QoL mod.
• Multiplayer consistency is best when the host uses SyncConfigToClients = true.
• If you join a lobby where the host does not run this mod, it will not activate.
