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.

REQUIRES ForgeEndertech library.

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
