路径绳-Path Rope
by 865553702
Path Rope, a cave exploration aid for Java Edition, adds a rope item that players can place to mark and follow a route underground.
What it does
The mod is built to help players find their way through caves, giving them a rope that they can lay down along a passage. Path Rope runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.21.1, 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.2 under the BSD 2-Clause License, which is not open source.
Key features
Cave route marking
Rope segments can be placed along a cave passage so players can trace their way back out.
Shared by server and clients
Servers and players both load the mod, so the rope behaves the same for everyone on a multiplayer server.
Operator-level setting
Changing the mod's settings on a server requires permission level 2, which limits configuration to trusted operators.
