Wynncraft Grapple Hook Highlighter
by bledev
Wynncraft Grapple Hook Highlighter marks the blocks in range when an Archer on Wynncraft holds a grappling hook, so a player can tell which surfaces the hook will reach.
What it does
The mod highlights blocks that fall within grappling hook range while the player holds a bow on Wynncraft. It shows where a hook will attach before it is fired, which helps determine whether a target is within range for the Archer class. The highlight turns on automatically when a bow is held, with no separate toggle needed to start it.
Targeting can be tuned in the settings. A minimum targeting distance is configurable, and the highlight color can be changed to suit the player's preference. The options are grouped with the other Wynntils settings rather than placed in a separate screen, so they are found where Wynntils keeps its own options.
The mod is a Fabric mod that depends on Wynntils 4.2.3 or newer, and requires Fabric Loader 0.18.6 or newer. It is published for Minecraft 1.21.11 only, and it runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. The license is the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Block range highlight
Blocks within grappling hook range are outlined while a bow is held, so the reachable surfaces are visible before a shot.
Automatic activation
Holding a bow turns the highlight on without any extra step, so it is active whenever the bow is in hand.
Minimum targeting distance
A configurable minimum distance sets how near a block must be before it is highlighted.
Custom highlight color
The highlight color can be changed, so it stands out against different backgrounds and personal preferences.
