Karambits X Punchy Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft a karambit knife?
You do not need a special recipe to craft a karambit. The resource pack automatically replaces all standard Minecraft swords with curved karambit models as soon as it is active.
Do I need to rename my sword in an anvil to get the karambit texture?
No, an anvil is not required. Every standard sword in your inventory or hotbar will display as a karambit automatically.
How do I inspect my karambit in first person?
Equip any standard sword and press and hold the inspect hotkey provided by the Punchy mod. As long as you hold the key down, your character will hold the blade outstretched in your hands.
How do I spin the karambit in my hand?
Instead of holding the inspect button down, tap the inspect key rapidly while holding your weapon. Repeatedly tapping the key triggers a fast spinning animation in first person.
Why can't I inspect or spin my karambit even though the texture works?
The resource pack only provides the 3D models and textures, while the animations require the Punchy mod. Make sure you have the Punchy mod running alongside the resource pack to enable the inspect and spin actions.
How do I change the button used to inspect and spin the knife?
Open your normal Minecraft game controls menu and look for the inspect hotkey setting added by the Punchy mod. You can rebind this action to any key or mouse button you prefer.
Can I use these karambits on multiplayer servers?
Yes, because this is a visual setup that replaces standard swords, you can use the skins on multiplayer servers without needing any special server-side setup.
Does the karambit change how my character looks in third person?
Yes, equipping a sword changes your character's third-person stance into a custom knife-holding pose. You can view this yourself by switching camera perspectives.
Can my friends see my karambit and custom poses in multiplayer?
Other players will be able to see your custom third-person knife poses and karambit models if they also have the resource pack and the Punchy mod enabled on their own game.
How do I get different colored karambits like the cyan one?
Each karambit color corresponds to a different standard sword material tier in Minecraft. For example, crafting or equipping a diamond sword will give you the cyan karambit model.
