Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector

by SprocketGames

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.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

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

  1. Hand-thrown connectors

    A connector can be thrown by hand to place a Rope Connector at a distance, without walking to the docking point.

  2. Rope Connector Launcher

    A launcher fires connectors over longer distances, extending placement reach beyond a throw.

  3. Mounted Rope Launcher

    A mounted launcher anchors rope to a ship, for rigs that need a fixed attachment point on the vessel.

  4. 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.

Use cases

Docking ships with rope

Players dock ships across gaps by placing connectors from a distance instead of walking to each point.

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.

Questions

Does Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector need Create and Create Aeronautics?

Yes. Create and Create Aeronautics are both required dependencies of the mod.

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

Where are the range and throwing settings changed?

They are in the generated config file, which covers throwing, launcher, mounted, general and visual options. Range cannot exceed Create Simulated's maximum rope range.
