Rope Bridge is a mod by MrTrollNugNug that adds a grappling-style bridge builder, a matching ladder builder, and the wooden bridge and ladder blocks they place.

The two tools work the same way: aim at a target spot, hold right-click to zoom in, and release to build. The bridge builder places a horizontal walkway between the player and the target, while the ladder builder runs a vertical ladder down a wall. Building consumes wood slabs (or planks for ladders) and the mod's Rope item out of the player's inventory.

Bridges and ladders come in twelve wood variants matching the vanilla tree types. The wood used is chosen automatically from the slabs available in the player's inventory.

Building

A bridge is built between the player's position and the targeted block. While the gun is held, the camera locks to the nearest cardinal direction, since bridges must run on a cardinal axis. Releasing right-click starts the build, with each bridge block placed in sequence and accompanied by a build animation.

The bridge will refuse to build if:

The player is not standing on a solid block.
The aim is not close enough to a cardinal direction.
The slope is steeper than the configured limit.
A block is in the way. Obstructions are marked with smoke particles.
The player does not have enough Rope and matching wood slabs.

A chat message explains the specific reason any time the gun refuses to fire.

Ladders work the same way but build downward from the chosen side of a wall, using planks instead of slabs for each rung.

Bridges and ladders can be broken one segment at a time by mining the segment directly, or in a single pass by mining any segment while sneaking, which removes the whole structure and drops back the materials it consumed.

Configuration

The server config (named after the mod id) holds the gameplay tuning options.
