Description
A simple, lightweight mod that adds a craftable climbable rope block. Hang it from any solid surface above you and traverse vertically with ease.
What it does
- Right-click below a solid block to place a single rope segment.
- Sneak + Right-click to instantly drop a full column of rope straight down, limited only by the rope in your inventory and free space below.
- Rope can hang from another rope — extend any column segment by segment.
- Uses familiar scaffold-like placement and break sounds.
Please report any bugs, errors, or feature suggestions on Discord: https://discord.gg/4XUPywnEyE
How it works
Hold Jump to climb up and crouch to slide down! Unlike ladders, ropes don't need a wall to lean on, and you can walk right through them without getting stuck.
You can manually extend the column by Right-Clicking an existing rope segment to place another one directly below it.

For Modpack Creators
The mod is intentionally minimal — one item, one block, no worldgen, no entities, no GUIs. Everything is easy to override from the outside without touching the jar.
Changing the Recipe
The recipe is data-driven and can be replaced by any datapack using the same recipe id: rope:rope Use the same id to replace the default recipe — Minecraft will use your version instead.
Where to put the datapack:
| Environment | Path |
|---|---|
| Singleplayer | .minecraft/saves/<world>/datapacks/ |
| Dedicated server | <server folder>/world/datapacks/ |
After adding or changing the datapack — restart the world or run /reload.
Which folder structure to use depends on your Minecraft version.
