Dyeable Ropes for Create Aeronautics

by saunhardy

With Dyeable Ropes for Create Aeronautics, a rope strand can be recolored in the world with a dye, and the color carries through rope knots, rope coils and any rope made from it.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The mod adds 16 dye-colored ropes for Create Aeronautics, and it needs Create and Sable. Crafting a rope with a dye yields a colored version. Holding a dye and right-clicking a placed strand recolors that strand in place, one dye per recolor, and recoloring can be repeated as often as needed. The strand itself tints in the world, and a rope knot or a rope coil placed on it takes the same color.

Colors persist through saves, dimension changes and rejoining a server, and clients receive them again after reconnecting. Breaking a colored strand drops a matching colored rope, and a plain rope can be recolored by crafting it again. Because the mod is client and server, the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Sixteen dyed ropes

    Each of the 16 dye colors has its own rope, so runs of Aeronautics rope can be told apart at a glance.

  2. In-world recoloring

    Right-clicking a placed strand with a dye changes its color, and the strand tints immediately.

  3. Matching knots and coils

    Rope knots and rope coils placed on a colored strand adopt its color, not the plain brown of the default rope.

  4. Colors kept after breaking

    A broken colored strand drops a rope of the same color, so its color is not lost during rework.

Use cases

Questions

Does Dyeable Ropes need Create and Sable?

Yes. Create and Sable are both required dependencies, so both must be installed alongside the mod on NeoForge 1.21.1.

Can a colored rope be changed to another color?

Yes. Recoloring can be repeated freely on a placed strand, and a plain rope can be recolored after being crafted. A red rope plus a blue dye produces a blue rope, so a different color requires first reverting the rope to plain.

Does the server need the mod for colors to show?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

What the author says

In vanilla Aeronautics (the bundled Simulated module), every rope strand is the same brown. Run multiple ropes between holders, winches, or contraptions and there's no way to tell them apart at a glance, no way to mark one as "this is the brake line" or "this one feeds the cargo hold." Ropes can be hung in any color…
