Pick Climber

Holding a pickaxe, a player can anchor it into a wall, climb along the surface and perform wall jumps by releasing the input in a chosen direction. Falls are braked gradually rather than stopped at once, and sliding down a surface can be slowed the same way. Using two pickaxes brakes faster, and durability is applied to both tools. Ceilings can be used too: a player swings beneath one and releases with the momentum built up. An active anchor moves between hands with the vanilla swap key, and anchor positions and cooldowns are checked on the server, so the same mechanics hold in singleplayer and multiplayer.

Only Minecraft pickaxes take part by default, and the wooden pickaxe is excluded. Modpack authors can add further compatible tools to the pickclimber:climbing_tools item tag, or narrow the list, using the tags the mod ships with. Compatibility with Eternal Starlight and Twilight Forest has been checked by hand. The mod requires additional libraries, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Builds exist for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 as the latest file.
