Advanced Hook Launchers

Master the art of grappling with Advanced Hook Launchers - a physics-driven traversal mod that turns exploration into acrobatic adventure.

Launch three specialized hooks with distinct mechanics: the powerful Pudge for combat and entity pulling, the versatile Spear for long-distance climbing and damage, and the elastic Web for safe swinging and momentum-based movement.

Dual-wield your hooks, swing with momentum, perform Tarzan jumps, and feel the authentic weight of your targets as physics realistically impact your grappling mechanics.

Key features

• Advanced and realistic physics
• Ability to use multiple hooks at the same time
• Works in multiplayer
• Fully configurable: set hook strength and fire resistance, change rope color, length and elasticity, extend launcher durability and reeling speed
• The weight of the target relative to your weight is taken into account (do not even try to land the dragon alone!)
• The hook can withstand only a certain maximum weight 
• The tension force of the rope depends on its elasticity

Recipes

Usage

Main hand

• Launch - press Left Mouse Button
• Reel / Unhook - press Left Mouse Button while holding Left Shift
• Pull - press or hold Left Mouse Button
• Loosen - press or hold Left Mouse Button while holding Left Control

Off-hand

• Launch - press Right Mouse Button
• Reel / Unhook - press Right Mouse Button while holding Left Shift
• Pull - press or hold Right Mouse Button
• Loosen - press or hold Right Mouse Button while holding Left Control

Extra controls

• Swing - use A-W-S-D to build momentum
• Jump Boost - while pulling, press Left Shift holding Space
• Tarzan Jump - while swinging, double tap Space
• Release - being grappled by another player, press Left Mouse Button holding Left Shift (when ridding, just left-click)

Features

Pudge hook

• attaches to tree leaves, poles, iron bars and fences
• rips out torches, bells and lanterns
• pulls entities and players
• dismounts riding entities
• auto-pulling
• medium distance
• high hook strength
• high fire resistance

Spear hook

• attaches to any block except blocks with high hardness (metal blocks, obsidian, etc.)
• breaks glass
• makes damage to entities on hit
• long distance
• medium rope elasticity
• medium fire resistance

Web hook

• sticks to any surface except sandy blocks
• safe for other players (makes no damage)
• long distance
• high rope elasticity
• low fire resistance

Modpacks

• Feel free to use the mod in any modpacks.
• You are allowed to use it without asking for permission.

Key Features

Advanced and Realistic Physics

Authentic physics simulation for grappling mechanics, ensuring immersive and challenging gameplay.

Multi-Hook Deployment

Launch and control multiple hooks at once for advanced maneuvering and puzzle-solving.

Full Multiplayer Support

Play cooperatively with others; physics interactions apply to all players simultaneously.

Extensive Customization

Fine-tune every aspect of your grappling system:

• Hook strength and fire resistance
• Rope color, length, and elasticity
• Launcher durability and reeling speed

Weight-Based Physics System

The relative weight between you and your target directly affects interaction - heavier targets require more force or additional help. (Hint: attempting to land a dragon solo won't end well!)

Rope Integrity Limits

Each hook has a maximum weight capacity; exceeding it causes failure.

Dynamic Tension Mechanics

Rope tension is calculated based on elasticity, creating realistic resistance and momentum effects.
