Ropes+
by MickDev
Ropes+ adds rope arrows, a grappling hook and ziplines, letting players climb and cross distances on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Rope Arrows leave a climbable rope where they land, so a player can ascend a wall or cliff without ladders. The Grappling Hook pulls the player quickly through the air, both vertically and horizontally, and a Hold Bridge and Cart Hook Shot cover other kinds of crossings.
Ziplines let players travel quickly between anchor points, and the 3D zipline option extends the system into three dimensions. Holding Shift while using a grappling tool increases its maximum length by 10 blocks per upgrade. Elemental arrows are collected as a utility group and fit exploration and adventure play.
Ropes+ is published for NeoForge only, with the 1.0.0 file covering 1.21.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
