This mod adds different hooks with launchers which give you ability to climb, abseil, jump off the cliffs, pull entities or players, and even slay the dragons!
REQUIRES ForgeEndertech library.
Key features
- Advanced and realistic physics
- Ability to use multiple hooks at the same time
- Works in multiplayer
- Fully configurable: set hook strength and fire resistance, change rope color, length and elasticity, extend launcher durability and reeling speed

- The hook can withstand only a certain maximum weight
- The tension force of the rope depends on its elasticity

In reply to MPWHart:
Will be fixed when it comes out of beta. Thanks for the report.
Looking pretty cool so far.
Personally I'm going to wait until swinging is implemented before giving it another go, as it's just a little bit frustrating not being able to.
I like what is there though. nice to see a variety of tools that have different utilities.
I would just suggest making it so that the web shooter can attach to mobs in a non-harmful way, and possibly giving the pudgehook another use to balance it. that and swinging would make this mod almost the perfect spiderman experience.
also, not sure how this would work, but making it so that you can use one launcher in your mainhand and one in your offhand would be sweet. low priority though, as it seems that would require reworking all the controls.
In reply to waldotheranger:
The web hook doesn't do any damage to the players/mobs. This is one of its main features.
How about grabbing dropped items? For example, when mined ore has fallen into a cave, and you have no intention to go down to pick it up.
It's not an easy thing to handle the launcher, having it in one hand, but ambidextrous controls are for the chosen ones.
In reply to EnderLanky:
Oh, does it already attach to mobs? whoops. hadn't used it recently.
picking up items is a good idea.
actually, I did think of a way to make the controls work for dual wielding. you could hold down shift and either left or right click to retract a hook (right for offhand, left for mainhand), and hold control and either left of right click to extend the hook.
Then of course left and right click without holding either control or shift to launch and detach.
Wall run is not working. I am following the steps but cant get it to work. If there is a video showing what the wall run looks like / how to do it that would be helpful. I don't know if i am just doing it wrong though.
In reply to dapperpixelguy2007:
You can only do it like Alice in RE2:
Not like Lara in TR3.
this is the REAL way to travel in the nether (and the end)
thank you for this mod, its amazing.
oh, since im already saying it, can you make it so you can atleast swing around when you are not pulling or loosening?
theres this one time where i traveled with spear hooks (only one) and.... stuck in the middle of lava ocean....
eventually i realized to always bring TWO at all time if you want to live
In reply to ZoraergazU:
Yes, there are plans to implement such a useful ability in future versions. Thanks for your feedback!
I'm finding that the web hook is leaving me hanging some 5 or 6 blocks below the anchor point.
**Edit : I figured out my problem. My inexperience with how the config files works was the cause. I was trying to add a remark of the default value after putting in the new value and apparently used the wrong syntax. Once I took out my attempt at commenting then adjusting the tension value altered how closely I reeled in to the anchor. Sorry for the confusion!
In reply to sprayartrick:
No problem, this distance depends on the elasticity of the rope.
Sooooooo, u can update the images of crafting? it will help so much! I will download da mod now dude, hehe...
In reply to pitzgn4:
Done.
I can craft the spear and prototype but not the final step to combine them. I'm using version 1.15. Have the recipes been changed?
In reply to Krackle17:
They have, a bit.
PLZ add to 1.15.2
In reply to hyperadrian:
Look closer, detective.
I've run into an issue regarding the crafting recipes; i can craft the web hook and the prototype launcher. but for some reason I cant seem to craft a whole hook launcher or any of the other hooks besides the web hook, however the items are still accessible though creative. I have tested the latest version of forge (13.1.28) and the stable release (31.1.0)
In reply to BlazberryYaint:
I've changed the recipes a bit in the latest version.
Now they use a tripwire hook instead of a stick.
You may also want to use JEI to view the correct recipes in the game.
In reply to EnderLanky:
ah, my bad. i probably should have had JEI since ive started adding item mods to my game. thanks for the reply
