Rope Coils
Right-click with a rope coil to place a rope hanging downward, as long as there is a block above for the rope to attach to. The rope extends down until it hits an obstacle or runs out of length. You can also place a rope on a fence post if there is space for the rope below it. To extend an existing rope, right-click it with another rope coil.
Rope Arrows
Shoot a rope arrow from a bow to place a rope at a distance. The rope will attach where the arrow lands.
Climbing
- Jump/Spacebar to start climbing
- Sprint and move to continue climbing or change direction to up when moving down
- Hold sneak to descend
Breaking Ropes
Left-click a rope to break it and receive rope coils back. Breaking the anchor block at the top destroys the entire rope.
