The Climber

by papakek228

The Climber lets players climb walls by hand, with an optional stamina system that limits how long they can hang on.

What it does

The mod adds climbing mechanics to Minecraft 1.20.1 through Forge. A player can grab and climb surfaces using only hands, with nothing else needed. A config option switches climbing off and returns the usual hand behavior, so the mechanic can be disabled without removing the mod.

A stamina system can be turned on or off, and the config file adjusts several parameters of the climbing behavior. The mechanics are inspired by the game White Knuckle. The Climber runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Hand-only climbing

    Players can climb surfaces using only their hands, with no tools or extra items required.

  2. Toggle climbing

    Climbing can be switched off, which restores the usual hand functionality for the player.

  3. Optional stamina

    A stamina system limits how long a climber can hold on, and it can be enabled or disabled.

  4. Adjustable parameters

    A config file adjusts several parameters of the climbing and stamina behavior to suit a server.
