Faster Ladder Climbing
by forkbomb
Faster Ladder Climbing changes how quickly a player moves up and down ladders, depending on the direction the player looks.
What it does
Looking straight down makes the player descend a ladder faster, and looking straight up makes the player climb faster. The further the view is tilted, the greater the change in speed. A config option sets how much faster the movement can become.
The mod runs on the client alone, so only the player's own game needs it. Forge and NeoForge builds are published for 1.12.1 – 1.21.8, and the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, which means the mod is not open source.
Key features
