Create Grappling Hooks
by BrauMAV
With Create Grappling Hooks, players fire a cable across open space and ride, swing or carry friends along it, and the mod needs Create, Create Aeronautics and Sable to run.
What it does
Players use a grappling hook to fire a cable between two points, and the cable works with terrain, moving physics ships and floors. Rope bends around block corners and airship edges rather than clipping through them. A cable trolley clips onto the cable and rides it toward wherever the player looks, and a hand-hold chain lets another player grab a free hand and be carried along, with the whole chain moving in sync. A player can dismount by pressing Shift, drop with Space to hop one block toward the view, or press Ctrl with Space to launch three blocks.
Swinging is momentum based: a faster swing and a longer launch come from releasing at the right point, and release is bound to a click or to Space and Ctrl with Space. The mod is one of the Create movement add-ons and works together with Create, Create Aeronautics and Sable, which are all required. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and needs both the server and the client because its environment is client and server.
