Create Grappling Hooks

Create Grappling Hooks 🪝

A grappling hook movement add-on for **Create: Aeronautics**. Fire cables across the sky, swing between your airships like Spider-Man, ride cables on a trolley, and carry your friends along.

✨ Features

• **Grapple Launcher** — fire a cable between two points (terrain and moving physics ships/floors).
• **Swing Hook** — a swing-anywhere grappling hook. Fire it at any surface and swing from it. Dual-wield one in each hand. Reel the rope in/out with Shift+W / Shift+S.
• **Momentum-based release** — the faster you swing, the farther you launch when you let go (release with a click, Space, or Ctrl+Space).
• **Rope that wraps around obstacles** — your rope bends and curves around blocks and airship edges instead of clipping through, and other players see it wrap in real time.
• **Cable Trolley** — clip onto a cable and ride it, moving toward wherever you look.
• **Hand-hold chain** — grab a riding player's hand and get carried along, fully synced.
• **Three ways to dismount** — Shift to drop, Space to hop ~1 block, Ctrl+Space to launch ~3 blocks.
• **Custom model, texture & sound effects.**
• **Shaderpack compatible** (Iris / Oculus) and **Punchy** compatible.
• **Multiplayer ready** — others see you swing, hang, ride, get carried, and watch your rope wrap.

⚠️ Required versions — pick the matching one!

This addon hooks directly into Create: Aeronautics' physics, so the versions must match. **Download the mod version that matches your Create: Aeronautics / Sable:**

• **Minecraft 1.21.1** + NeoForge, **Create** 6.0.x.
• A mismatched version is rejected with a clear message (instead of crashing).
• *1.2.0 note:* Sable 2.0.x requires **Sodium 0.8.12+** if you use Sodium.

Game crashed / won't start?

Almost always a version mismatch of Create: Aeronautics or Sable. **Your world is NOT broken** — the mod only crashes while loading it and never touches your save. Remove it, launch, and re-add it once your versions match the table above.

🎮 How to use

1. Craft the Grapple Launcher, Swing Hook and Cable Trolley (recipes in JEI/EMI).
2. **Swing Hook:** right-click to fire (left-click for an off-hand second hook). **You can fire while sneaking (Shift + right-click).** Shift+W/S to reel; click or Space / Ctrl+Space to let go.
3. **Grapple Launcher:** right-click two surfaces to span a cable.
4. **Cable Trolley:** hold it and right-click the cable to ride. Move with W/S; Shift / Space / Ctrl+Space to get off.
5. Remove cables with the Create Wrench (Shift + right-click).

⚠️ Known issues (being worked on)

• The hook can occasionally fly off when the rope wraps around an obstacle.
• The rope only wraps around one physics platform at a time.
• On fast-rotating platforms, the rope can be dragged along with the rotation.
