Whiplash (Hooklash)

The hooklash is the core item. Hitting with its tip pulls a target toward the player, and the same pull works in reverse: a hooked player can be drawn toward the point. Heavy entities such as Players, Iron Golems and Wardens are pulled when struck, and most other mobs, including Zombies and Skeletons, are drawn in as well. Reeling in dropped items with the hook is also supported, and the combinations it allows open up spear-based fights against heavy targets.

Two special blocks extend the item. A Blue Hook Point and a Green Hook Point act as grapple anchors, and a Red Hook Point is a block the hooklash can interact with. Hooking a point emits a redstone pulse whose duration is set by the mod. Grappling grants slow falling unless the player is holding a mace, and pressing left shift cancels movement toward a block.

The mod is a small content addition, and it installs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric only, with files for Minecraft 1.21.11. The latest file is 1.0.2.1-1.21.11, published on 2026-10-10, and the mod is released under the Apache License 2.0, which is not open source.
