Hooked Mod for Minecraft

Hooked Mod adds grappling hooks to the game.

Hooked Mod 1.12.2 adds grappling hooks to the game. These grappling hooks are designed to be simple, natural, and useful above all else. This is a new mod designed to provide an effective replacement for creative flight in the form of grappling hooks.

Features:

It’s simple because:

hooks move in a perfectly straight line when firing them.

hooks pull you toward them with a constant force.

firing hooks doesn’t require holding an item, instead it is bound to a key for immediate access.

releasing hooks requires just a tap of the spacebar.

It’s natural because:

its simple controls mean it can quickly become a natural part of how you move through your world, as instinctive as the sneak key.

the fact that hooks don’t have a drop means you don’t have to line up every shot, which adds to the automaticity of using it.

It’s useful because:

it provides options for everything from your first night in a world to frolicking in the nether without thought of the terrors it contains.

it is natural to use, thus it will likely be used whenever and wherever it might be of use.

hooks have no durability, so you can happily frolick through your world without feeling like every usage may be a waste.

while using a hook your mining speed is completely unimpared, unlike with flight (or falling, though I doubt you’ll be breaking many blocks while falling, so that one isn’t quite relevant).

hooks are simulated both client- and server-side much like normal movement, meaning a laggy connection shouldn’t cause too much trouble (some desync will be inevitable, but that’s a given with anything in such a situation).

Hook variants:

Wood hook – not great, but better than nothing in the super early game.

Iron hook – pretty good and not too expensive with a cost totalling 13 iron and two sticks.

Diamond hook – the best general-purpose hook in the mod, being fast enough for really any reasonable need and long enough for any reasonable position.

Ender hook – one of the two diamond hook sidegrades, it’s far too fast for any unreasonable need, and much longer than any unreasonable position would require.

Red hook – the second diamond hook sidegrade, it’s the only one with creative flight-like movement, though it’s limited to the bounds defined by the hooks attached. 1 hook = vertical column, 2 = line, 3 = triangle, 4 = tetrahedron (pyramid with triangle as the base).
