# Hameln – The Minecraft Trident Innovation Plugin
\nHameln is a plugin compatible with Minecraft 1.20 versions, designed to make trident usage more intuitive and convenient. It works seamlessly with Paper and Purpur server implementations.<\/p>\n
## Key Features
\n– **Hand Adaptability:** When a trident is thrown with the non-dominant hand (typically the left hand), it returns to that same hand. Similarly, tridents thrown with the dominant hand (typically the right hand) will return to it.
\n– **Automatic Slot Return:** If you throw a trident with your dominant hand and then switch slots, the trident will return to the new selected slot, provided it is empty.
\n– **Standard Behavior Retention:** If the trident\u2019s designated slot is not empty upon its return, it will follow Minecraft\u2019s default behavior.<\/p>\n
## Installation Guide
\n1. This plugin is compatible with Paper and Purpur servers. Install one of these server types first.
\n2. Copy the jar file into the ‘plugins’ folder of your server.
\n3. Restart the server.<\/p>\n
