Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector
Players who need a rope docked across a gap can throw or fire a connector from range with Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector, a NeoForge addon for 1.21.1.
What it does
The addon adds a Throwable Rope Connector item that places a Create Simulated Rope Connector on a valid block face from a distance, so a player does not have to walk to each docking point. A successful throw also hands back a Rope Coupling that is pre-linked to the placed connector, ready to attach to a Rope Winch. Create Aeronautics and Create are required, and the mod is built as a small addon for the Create Simulated rope system.
The mod also adds a Rope Connector Launcher for longer-range placement and a Mounted Rope Launcher for anchoring to a ship. Throwing, launcher, mounted, general and visual options can be adjusted in the generated config, where range is capped by Create Simulated's maximum. The mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source code.
Key features
Hand-thrown connectors
A connector can be thrown by hand to place a Rope Connector at a distance, without walking to the docking point.
Rope Connector Launcher
A launcher fires connectors over longer distances, extending placement reach beyond a throw.
Mounted Rope Launcher
A mounted launcher anchors rope to a ship, for rigs that need a fixed attachment point on the vessel.
Linked rope couplings
Each successful placement returns a Rope Coupling already linked to its connector, so the rope can be attached to a Rope Winch straight away.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who build with Create Aeronautics and want quicker rope docking. Only the Create Simulated rope system is involved, so the mod suits builds that already use that system.
