Player Ladder

by ForwarD-NerN

Player Ladder lets a player ride on top of another player, extending the /ride command so that a rider can sit on a player's head.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.18 – 1.21.11

What it does

Player Ladder extends the /ride command so entities can be mounted on top of players. A pick-up option is included as well and is turned on by setting rightClickMode to PICK UP in the config. With it, a player can lift a target and carry it around. Picking up or riding any living entity is available too, though that is off by default and has to be enabled in the config.

The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files cover 1.18 – 1.21.11 on Fabric and NeoForge, with Forge files for 1.20.1. Installation needs FConfigLib and Fabric API on Fabric, and Cloth Config API is optional for editing the config through a GUI alongside Mod Menu. Environment is optional on both sides: installing it on the client is enough to allow interacting with the world while an entity sits on top, and a server can run it without requiring clients to have it.

Key features

  1. Riding players with /ride

    The /ride command is extended so an entity can be mounted on top of a player, not only on other entities.

  2. Pick up mode

    Setting rightClickMode to PICK UP in the config turns on a pick-up option that lets players carry another player.

  3. Riding any living entity

    Mounting any living entity is possible when the matching option is enabled, and it is off by default.

  4. World interaction while riding

    With the mod on the client, a player can keep interacting with the world while another entity sits on top.

How it compares

Full comparison

Kaffee's Dual Ride is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, runs on Fabric and NeoForge, and covers 1.18 – 26.3 with a client and server environment. Iron Ladders is also open source, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.17.1 – 1.21.4, with the same client and server environment. Player Ladder is the only one of these with a requirement for both sides to run it, since its environment is optional.

Questions

Does Player Ladder need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required on Fabric, together with FConfigLib. Forge and NeoForge builds do not list it as a requirement.

Can a server run Player Ladder without clients installing it?

Yes. The environment is optional, so a server can run the mod while players do not need it, though the world interaction option needs it on the client.

How is the config edited?

Cloth Config API and Mod Menu together open a GUI for the config, and without them the config is changed as a plain file.
