Description

Web Swinger

A fully animated mod that aims to give you the best Spider-Man experience in the game. From web swing with both hands independently, acrobatics mid-air, web shots, gluing mobs to walls, to the ground, slingshotting yourself, the aim is to give you as much freedom as possible to create your spidey play style while trying to keep it organic. Most movements come from using the same set of abilities in a different way, so you dont have a bunch of keybinds to press, you learn how to use the few you have.

This mod is still EARLY BETA. Expect a bunch of stuff to be added and changed.

Needs Fabric API, and needs to be installed client and server side.


Getting the powers

To get the powers, you need to go through a small process:

  1. Kill cave spiders until one drops a Spider Gland, it's a ~5% chance, only drops when a player kills it.
  2. Brew it onto a Potion of Regeneration (any strength) to get a Potion of Metamorphosis. Brew gunpowder onto it to make a splash potion.
  3. Don't drink it and don't eat the gland raw. It's still just venom, six minutes being sick and you won't get anything.
  4. Throw the potion at a live spider. For six minutes that spider is the host for the powers. Try to get bitten by it.
  5. Survive six minutes after the bite. Two minutes quiet, two sick, and the last two the powers start flickering on and off. If you drink milk or die, it cancels and you have to start over.

After that, the spider powers are permanent.

You won't be able to swing just by having powers, you need to have a webshooter anywhere on your inventory to be able to shoot webs. The powers only makes swinging better and faster, makes you faster and stronger and allows for wall crawling


Features

Swing. Fire a web at anything solid and it creates a rope you can swing from. Each arm has its own web, so you can run two lines at once and pull yourself around corners.

Zip. Crouch while you fire and you zip to the direction you aimed. Works on mobs too. Small ones come to you, big ones don't move and you go to them.

Slam. Zip with both hands into the ground, crouch held, and you land hard enough to crack the floor and knock entities back. Two zips on the same mob while it's in the air above you pulls it down creating a similar effect.

Climb. Wall crawl on a toggle (default key C), allows you to move on the walls and ceilings.

Perch. Some blocks like isolated fences, iron bars, walls and glass panes allow you to crouch and do the iconic Spider-Man poses.

Web shots. Switching web types allows you to throw a shot instead of a rope. It tracks the body part it hit, so shots in the head blinds the target, the legs pin it in place, the chest wraps the arms making the mob unable to attack. Enough of it and the entity is cocooned. A shot near a wall can stick the body to the wall. It can also press buttons, pressure plates, and zips can pull doors and trapdoors open or flick a lever.

Fall damage is off while you have the powers (might change in the future).

There's a fair amount of animation work in the mod. Poses for swinging, landing, zipping, crawling and perching, plus the rope itself, which has a bit of physics and continues the animations after you let go.


Controls

All rebindable in Options, Controls. I recommend, if your mouse has the side buttons, to bind the web shooting to those. Makes web swinging a lot easier.

Action Default
Shoot / release web (right arm) B
Shoot / release web (left arm) V
Release all webs R
Toggle wall climb C
Switch web type X

Commands

/webswinger grant [players] and /webswinger revoke [players], also works as/ws. Defaults to the player running the command if no target is selected.

This mod is in its early beta stages

It works and it is playable, just keep in mind:

  • Some stuff might not work properly on a server. I tried getting everything to work, but anything that doesn't feels right can and should be reported here.
  • Skins are made by me and a friend, and we suck at making skins lmao. Any help with the textures would be greatly appreciated.
  • Some mechanics, especially the wall crawling, still have a bunch of work to feel smooth

*Any inputs and ideas for the mod are greatly appreciated!
