bound movement styles — coming

Movement styles — how you walk while bound

Restraints can change how you physically move. There are four built-in styles; when several styled items stack, the most severe wins. Speed and jump effects are server-authoritative and work in multiplayer.

  • Waddle — ×0.6 speed, jump allowed; a swaying gait.
  • Shuffle — ×0.4 speed, no jump; tiny dragging steps.
  • Hop — ×0.35 speed, small automatic hops replace the jump.
  • Crawl — ×0.2 speed, on all fours with a swim-like low hitbox.
The slowdown, jump suppression, auto-hop and crawl hitbox are real and server-side; only the animation overlay that makes the gait look the part is client/singleplayer-only.

Gags — muffled chat & comprehension

While gagged, your chat is rewritten into muffled speech — a phonetic, material-aware transform, not a flat asterisk-out. A loose cloth gag leaks through; ball, tape, panel and stuffed gags muffle heavily, each with its own bleed-through and interjections.

  • Each word rolls fully through, partially, or fully muffled; longer messages get harder, and sprinting or being airborne degrades clarity further.
  • You always see your own real words in grey after the muffled line.
  • Long messages can suffocate you (Slowness, a chance of Blindness), and private message commands are blocked while gagged.
With gag proximity chat enabled (a server game rule), muffled speech only reaches players within range and listeners wearing earplugs hear nothing; with it off, the muffled message is broadcast globally. The individual gags are listed under Gags.

Blindfold — the vision overlay

A blindfold draws a full-screen overlay over your view while keeping the hotbar redrawn on top, so you can still hold items. By nature this is a client render effect, drawn locally for the blindfolded player. A hardcore-blindfold client config forces full opacity and keeps the overlay even with a GUI open.

Blindfolds, masks and the all-in-one hood are listed under Blindfolds & hoods; earplugs (which muffle what the wearer hears) are under Accessories.
