[1.2.0] - 2026-06-20

Rope — Fence Ties & Textures

  • Redrew the Rope block texture as a braided green cord matching the Rope item's palette and twist (the previous texture rendered as mottled noise on the block)
  • Tying Rope to a fence now wraps a rope knot around the fence post itself (a lightweight knot entity, leash-knot style) rather than a block beside the fence; the hanging rope then extends outward and down from it
  • Documented the fence-tie behavior: side-click a fence (any block in #minecraft:fences) to start a Rope one block outward, then extend it downward like any other Rope

Fixes

  • Rope placement now returns PASS instead of FAIL when it cannot place at the targeted spot (and when Rope is disabled in config), so the off-hand item is still tried — e.g. Rope in the main hand no longer eats an off-hand item's use against a non-anchor surface

[1.1.0] - 2026-06-19

Material Progression

  • Added Plant Mesh — press Plant Fibers and a Water Bucket into a woven sheet (PPP / W); the bucket is returned via the vanilla crafting remainder
  • Plant Mesh dries into vanilla Paper via furnace smelting and campfire cooking (cook time 200, 0.1 XP)
  • Added Reinforced Fibers — 1 Plant Fiber + 1 String (shapeless)

Rope

  • Added Rope, a climbable, self-supporting hanging block crafted vertically from 3 Reinforced Fibers (yields 3 Rope)
  • Climbable like a ladder/vine (via #minecraft:climbable) without needing a solid block behind every segment
  • Right-click an existing Rope with Rope in hand to extend the column downward to the bottom of the connected chain
  • Tie Rope to the side of a fence (any block in #minecraft:fences): side-click a fence to start a Rope one block outward (fence_anchored state, facing back toward the fence); it is supported by the fence and breaks when the fence is removed
  • Support validation: Rope must hang from a valid anchor (sturdy face above or #plantfiber:rope_anchor_blocks) or from connected Rope; losing support breaks unsupported Rope below, cascading downward
  • Waterloggable (opt-in via config), flammable, destroyed by pistons, drops itself

Tags

  • Reused the existing plantfiber:vegetation tag as the plant-fiber source list
  • Added plantfiber:fibers, plantfiber:reinforced_fibers, plantfiber:rope_anchor_blocks, plantfiber:rope_replaceable_blocks, plantfiber:rope_fence_anchors (defaults to #minecraft:fences), and registered Rope in minecraft:climbable

Config

  • Added crafting toggles: enablePlantMeshPaperRecipe, enableReinforcedFibers (gate recipes via a plantfiber:config recipe condition)
  • Added rope group: enableRope, enableFenceRopeAnchors, ropeBreaksWhenUnsupported, unsupportedRopeDropsItems, ropeCanBeWaterlogged, ropeCanReplacePlants

Compatibility

  • No existing registry IDs, recipes, tags, or loot tables changed — old worlds load unaffected
