So I was bored and started working on this, one year later I was bored again and finished it.
This is my attempt on creating 3D maneuver gear in Minecraft,
This mod doesn't seem like much, but I've put quite some effort in it, it has a fully functional dual wielding system (without any coremodding), bauble rendering system and some flawed vector math.
If you're interested on how it's done, or you think you know how to improve it, the code is fully Open Source and can be found on GitHub by clicking on 'source' on the banner above.
How to Use:
This mod requires Baubles by Azanor, to get started, first craft a set of Maneuver Gear and a Maneuver Gear handle. The maneuver gear is equipped in the belt slot and the handle is used to operate it, you'll notice that it is dual wielded. From Minecraft 1.9.4 and onwards, you need to equip one handle in each hand.
left clicking operates the left handle, right clicking the right, not difficult to understand. Regular click swings the respective weapon, but it doesn't do any damage! That's right, you first have to equip a blade into the handle. Blades can be equipped on the handle by equipping them from your holster. You can visually see how many blades you have left in each holster and there is a tooltip as well.
To equip a blade from the holster ctrl + click (left for left handle/holster, right click for the right).
How do I get blades in my holster you ask? Craft a couple, and right click with a blade in your hand to put them in the right holster and shift-right click to put them in the left holster. Yes you can hit enemies with a bare blade, but you'll probably cut yourself.
Okay, now that you've got down how to equip blades and attack, let's talk about actually using the maneuver gear. Shift + click launches a grapple (again, left click the left and right click the right), a subsequent shift + click instantly retracts the corresponding grapple.
It is possible to start reeling in a grapple (and pulling yourself towards the hooked grapple) by holding the hotkey (default: 'z' for left and 'x' for right).
And that's basicly how to use the maneuver gear. Oh right I forgot, while wearing the maneuver gear, while holding shift and pressing space, instead of jumping you will vent gas out the nozzle on your back effectively trusting you in the direction you are facing.
P.S. You will take fall damage, a lot, that's why there is special impact compensating boots to reduce fall damage. Or you could use something else to prevent fall damage of course...
Recipes:
Known issues:
- Spazzing out, when reaching the physically maximum possible retracting length of both cables, the allowed region where the player can be becomes smaller and smaller, as it becomes very small, a tiny change in velocity will alter the solution and it is possible that you start spazzing up and down, just stress the cables more or releas one of the cables, I'm not going to bother fixing this.
- Textures. They're shit, I know, my apologies.
Hey, I have the problem where the you reel in way too fast for some reason (looks like your basically teleporting). I'm using CurseForge and tried creating a separate profile with just this mod, InfinityLib, and Curios, but the same thing still happened. Using 1.16.5, any idea how to fix it?
May You Make this For 1.14.4? or even just a port?
In reply to theunitedboss:
No
hii, just want to know if you have in your plans correct or change the speed, sometimes its just to fast, just like an enderpearl tp, also, when you shoot the hook too far away the character just get teleported for no reason, but its a really great mod in any way, thank u
In reply to duharu:
Yes, there is a bug where the hooks can fly further than the max distance they should be allowed to go, which results in these tp-like speeds.
I haven't managed to find the cause for this yet
In reply to InfinityRaider:
i understand, thank u
Fabric 1.17? 1.18 maybe? please? =D I'd love to try this out atm I'm just using a hookshot mod and elytra. =P
If you are still interested on working on this mod i could help you with textures :D
will there be an option, in config, like: change speed of 3d maneuver gear or range of it
Can you make or is there a fabric port to this mod?
In reply to twitcher1529:
No and no
Could you maybe add 1.12.2 and 1.16.3? (Understandable if not!)
In reply to minecraftgodomr923:
No, sorry.
In reply to InfinityRaider:
Understandable.
In reply to minecraftgodomr923:
Thank you have a good day.
so you have a 1.9 and 1.11.2 version... BUT NO 1.12.2???????????????????
In reply to panmalinkapl000:
Correct.
what?! no 1.12.2? the weird part only version 1.12.2 not available... (1.12.2 are like the most stereotype mainstream modded version)... YO...
In reply to PlayOnlyT:
This is not a mainstream mod.
Is this Forge?
