Hey, thanks for viewing this page! Because I found no plugin which allows to ascend faster (climb up ladders faster), I decided to create this Open-Source one! If you found any bugs or errors or if you have wishes, please join my discord and open a ticket: https://discord.gg/XJeAUmbmw9
Whats Faster Ascend?
With Faster Ascend you're able to s peed up the climbing animation on ladders/vines and water. So perfect for any kind of server! In contrast to the version created in 2019 by another Spigot developer, there are many more options here! You may have noticed that the climbing animation cannot be accelerated with a speed effect. So I tricked this a bit using Velocity. In general, there are 2 types to choose from in my version. The liquid and the super fast way. The fluid way plays the climbing animation faster (Informations: it "boosts" the player up) and the super fast way easily teleports the player right to the end of the ladder/water/vines. You can change almost everything, give it a try.
Long story short, below you'll find a tutorial on how to install it, as well as the features and developer API! Have fun and if you like this plugin I would happy if you leave a rating at this plugin
Features:
- Climb ladders/vines/(water) up, when you touch one
- Activate/Disable the climbing animation
- Change the Blocks which should be faster climbable
- Change the climbing speed and delay (you can customize the speed and delay for every valid block individually (not required))
- Climb up ladders/vines with (SHIFT + ) RightClick/LeftClick instantly with or without animation
- Climb up ladders/vines DURING the animation with SHIFT instantly (you can activate this in the config.yml)
- Add/Set messages/sounds which should be sended when a specivic event gets triggered
How to install:
1. Click on this webpage on Download Now and open your Downloads folder
2. Open your Minecraft-Server-Folder and put the plugin from your Downloads in your plugins folder of your Minecraft-Server
3. Start/Restart your server
4. After your server got started the plugin should get activated. Type /plugins in your Console to see if the plugin is working (In the List which get printed out you should see a plugin named "FasterAscend").
5. You're ready! All options are described in the config.yml (which you can find in the FasterAscend folder in the plugins folder of your Minecraft-Server) and if you need help, join my discord
Commands:
/fasterascend reload - Reloads the config.yml - Needs the permission fasterascend.reload (you can change this permission in the config.yml)
Config:
