Ropeway

String a steel cable from a mountain top to the valley and ride it down on a zipline trolley. Ropeway is everything you do with rope: ziplines and zipline networks, rope bridges that sag between their handrails, a grappling hook to swing on, climbing picks for sheer walls, ropes and rope ladders that unroll down to the ground, and bunting to hang along the lines.

Place rope anchors (on the floor, in a wall or under a ceiling), use rope or steel cable on one anchor, then on another: a line is strung between them, sagging like a real rope. Rope lines reach 32 blocks, steel cables 128. A line that would sag into the ground is pulled tighter, and one that would pass through a wall is refused.

Use the zipline trolley while looking at a line and you hang from it in a harness. Gravity does the rest: the steeper the line, the faster you go, up to 22 blocks a second, and the cable dips under your weight.

• Forward pulls you along, hand over hand, the way you look; back brakes.
• Sneak lets go and you fly on with your speed; jump jumps off.
• At an anchor where another line goes on, you roll straight on to the line that points most where you look: build whole zipline networks.
• Where your feet touch the ground the ride ends and you land; near the end of a line the trolley brakes by itself.
• A powered anchor is a winch: it hauls trolleys to itself at an even speed, uphill too.

Can't reach the other side of the canyon? Tie your rope or cable to an anchor, load an anchor bolt into a crossbow (or a bow) and shoot it across: where it hits, it sets an anchor in the wall, floor or ceiling, and your line is strung to it straight away.

A rope arrow carries up to 24 rope from your inventory: shoot it under a ledge or into the side of a cliff and the rope unrolls from there down to the ground.

String two rope lines side by side, two to four blocks apart, across a gap. Then use planks on one of them: a walkway is laid between them, sagging with its handrails, one plank per block. Oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, bamboo, crimson and warped planks all work. Cut a handrail and the bridge comes down.

Use a dye on any line to hang bunting in that colour: up to four colours by turns, fluttering in the wind. Shears cut a line and give back what it was made of.

Use rope under a ledge, on the side of a wall or on a hanging rope: it unrolls down to the ground with as much as you carry (sneak to place one piece). Climb it like a ladder, or look down and slide down it fast. A rope ladder hangs from its top, so it needs no wall behind it. Sneak and use either with an empty hand to reel it back up. Cut a rope at the top and it falls apart.

Throw the grappling hook at a wall, a ceiling or the underside of an island. Hold use to reel yourself in, sneak to let rope out (to swing lower or abseil down a cliff), and jump to let go and fly on with your swing. While the hook holds, you take no fall damage. A hook that hits a creature yanks it towards you.

Hold climbing picks in either hand to climb a wall: jump or walk into it to go up, sneak to hang still, let go to slide down slowly, and pull yourself up over the edge at the top. They bite into stone, dirt, wood, ice and the like, but not into glass, obsidian or blocks of metal.

1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 26.2 or 26.3 and put the jar in your mods folder.
2. Craft rope from three string (or three vines), rope anchors from an iron ingot, a rope and a log, and steel cable from two iron ingots and a rope.
3. Place two anchors, use rope or cable on each, and use a zipline trolley (iron nuggets, an iron ingot, a chain and leather) on the line.
4. Every recipe is in the recipe book.

• One jar for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3; needed on both the client and the server.
• No fall damage while you hang on a line, a rope, a rope ladder, the grappling hook or a wall with climbing picks.
• A server config sets the longest rope line and steel cable, the lines one anchor holds, the grappling hook's range, and whether climbing picks bite into every block.
• Twelve advancements.
