Zip To It!
by Superkat32
Zip To It! adds the Zippy Sticky Hand, a Fabric minigame item that lets players zip across a landscape by sticking to a surface and pulling toward it.
What it does
The Zippy Sticky Hand attaches to a wall or block within a set range and pulls the player along a line toward the spot. Zip distance, the number of zips before the hand breaks, and its colors are all set in configuration. By default the hand reaches 48 blocks from the current position, and a value of -1 for the zip count makes zipping unlimited. Sneaking while zipping cancels the zip, and a player can also zip again from the wall to gain some extra height.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it and every player on a server running it needs it too. It is published for Fabric only, with a single game version: 1.21.8. It requires Fabric API. Zip To It! is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. The Zippy Sticky Hand is a Minigame item that also fits the Cursed, Transportation, Adventure, Decoration and Equipment categories.
The mod can be configured in several ways. A zip cooldown component takes an integer in seconds, and the default of 20 is an example value. Colors are split into a main color for the zip line, a bright color for the first ticks of the line, and a preview color shown while aiming. Dyeing the hand changes its color, and froglights used in crafting produce a different color.
