Rope

[!(https://img.shields.io/badge/JOIN%20OUR%20DISCORD-5865F2?style=for-the-badge&logo=discord&logoColor=white)](https://discord.gg/HTkn94BXmA)

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.

### 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.

### Crafting !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/1b7d27fd39718f72a741056aabc958a691458f98_0.webp) ``` Stick | String | Stick Stick | String | Stick Stick | String | Stick ``` Yields 3 rope per craft > (if you are modpacker - read below)

### Misc Fully translated into 10 languages: English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, and Italian.

### 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//datapacks/ | | Dedicated server | /world/datapacks/ |

After adding or changing the datapack — restart the world or run /reload.

##### Which folder structure to use depends on your Minecraft version.

Legacy layout (Forge 1. 20. 1, Fabric 1. 20. 1) ``` your_datapack/ pack.mcmeta data/ rope/ recipes/ rope.json advancements/ recipes/misc/rope.json ```

Modern layout (NeoForge 1. 21. 1+, Fabric 1. 21. 11+) ``` your_datapack/ pack.mcmeta data/ rope/ recipe/ rope.json advancement/ recipes/misc/rope.json ```

##### Ready-to-use Recipe JSON

Legacy `data/rope/recipes/rope.json` ``` { "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped", "category": "misc", "pattern": ["ABA","ABA","ABA"], "key": { "A": { "item": "minecraft:stick" }, "B": { "item": "minecraft:string" } }, "result": { "item": "rope:rope", "count": 3 } } ```

Modern `data/rope/recipe/rope.json` ``` { "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped", "category": "misc", "pattern": ["ABA","ABA","ABA"], "key": { "A": { "item": "minecraft:stick" }, "B": { "item": "minecraft:string" } }, "result": { "count": 3, "id": "rope:rope" } } ``` To change ingredients or output, only modify `key. A.item`, `key. B.item`, and `result.count`. For a clean recipe book unlock, also override the advancement file at the matching path (`advancements/recipes/misc/rope.json` or `advancement/recipes/misc/rope.json`) and update the ingredient criteria to match your new items.

#### Changing Translations Override via a resource pack — no source code needed.

Resource pack path: `.minecraft/resourcepacks/` (singleplayer) or include in your modpack override folder.

Translation file path: `assets/rope/lang/.json`

Key translation keys: - `block.rope.rope` — block name in the world - `item.rope.rope` — item name in inventory

To simply rename the item, this is all you need: ``` { "block.rope.rope": "Climbing Rope", "item.rope.rope": "Climbing Rope" } ```

The mod already ships with built-in translations for: `en_us`, `ru_ru`, `de_de`, `es_es`, `fr_fr`, `it_it`, `ja_jp`, `ko_kr`, `pt_br`, `zh_cn`.
