More reviews in spoiler:
Rope-Bridge is a mod that builds (you guessed it) rope bridges AND now rope ladders! Features:
- Bridge Building Gun with three separate craftable parts
- Ladder Building Gun with three seperate craftable parts
- Simple point-and-shoot system
- Building animations
- Custom bridge quarter-slabs
- Detection for blocks that are in the way
- Fully server-compatible
- New string recipe (hint: wool)
- Fancy models especially on 1.10.2+ versions.
- Textures taken from loaded resource pack
- Performance improvements
- Configuration file added with several settable values
Crafting
To craft the grappling gun, three sub-parts must be crafted first:
Please Note: Version 1.12+ will now require rope instead of string.
Please Note: Ladder Gun Recipes coming soon. Uses Barrel and Stock, but separate head.
Hook: 5 iron ingots
Barrel: 6 iron ingots, 3 strings
Stock: 1 flint and steel, 1 gunpowder, 2 iron ingots, 1 string, 2 wood
Now the gun itself can be crafted from the three parts:
Rope Recipe:
S = String
V = Vine
SV
VS

Building
To build a bridge, fire the grappling gun just like you would a regular bow. When aiming the grappling gun (right-click), the player's view is zoomed in and directed in line with a cardinal direction.
Upon release the bridge is built if possible.
The bridge won't build if:
- There is something in the way (get's marked with smoke particles)
- The bridge is too steep
- The required materials are not present in the player's inventory
Note: These restrictions can be turned off in the config file.
If something goes wrong, a prompt will let you know what the problem is and how to fix it right in chat. If everything checks out, the bridge will be built from slabs and string found in the inventory. The material of the bridge is determined by the first kind of slab found in the inventory.
You can also build bridges between two coordinates using commands:
/ropebridge x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 [wood_id]
For Example:
/ropebridge 0 60 0 20 64 0 5
Will build a dark oak bridge from (0, 60, 0) to (20, 64, 0).
Leaving the wood_id blank will build with the default material, oak.
Please note the command is currently only in the 1.8 and below.
A list of wooden slab types are below:
Oak Slab - 0
Spruce Slab - 1
Birch Slab - 2
Jungle Slab - 3
Acacia Slab - 4
Dark Oak Slab - 5
To break the whole bridge at once, simply sneak and break any bridge section with the Grappling Gun!
I hope you enjoy this mod and please don't hesitate to give me ideas for how to improve it. If you wish to use this mod in a video, just give credit and let me know through a curse message or by joining my discord here!
Will there be a 1.18.1 version? I love this mod sm!
1.18.1 pls
While I can see a retractable rope bridge being difficult to work out, would a means of making a rope ladder retractable be more plausible? I ask since I've been playing around with the Valkyrien Skies mod and it would be nice to have a convenient means of getting on and off airships. I'd be happy to playtest such a feature if you chose to try implementing it.
In reply to AMStryx:
VS is currently only on 1.12, so you can use a the Rope Ladder mod. Super useful, and easy to set up logic with dispensers (as shown on mod page).
When I was playing with Valkrien Skies, I used a remote redstone mod to call the ladder up/down as necessary. Easily 100+ block length if needed. Should be perfect for your needs if this mod doesn't cut it.

Pretty please update to 1.18.1 with a cherry on top <3
In reply to RoboWiz89:
Is there an 1.18 version ? Can't find it.
any fabric version?
hi, how can i make the bridge disappear after a while?
@Admin
I'm having issues with crafting the pieces in 1.16.5 (with Forge 36.2.0). I'm using JEI and everything shows up on the list to the right, but not in recipe form.
None of it works in Survival so I made a Creative mode world, but I can only craft the Hook. None of the other recipes for the gun seem to show up, even in Creative, when I use the crafting table. Do I need a different version of Forge?
is this compatible with forge
In reply to nope63007:
It's ONLY compatible with Forge, check the file page if you want to check per file
Can you allow Biomes o Plenty woods to be used for bridges?
Did a updated mod showcase. Feel free to add it to the main thread if you'd like.
Update it on 1.17

Fabric 1.17 XD I know, I know, this is a lot of work, I just really appreciate your project. One of my favorites. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work!!

In reply to ProxyNeko:
Oh, I had no idea. I have a wife, kids, and a full time XD
Well, hopefully Forge for 1.17 comes out soon, and I look forward to this moving forward. : ]
Bridges are literally impossible to build. theres always an error!
