About this Mod

A Better Than Adventure 7.2 mod that adds a throwable rope coil item.

Features:

Adds a new throwable rope coil item, which can be thrown at blocks to attach a pillar of rope 4 blocks tall.
Multiple coils can be thrown at the same pillar of rope to extend it.
If a rope pillar is obstructed from fully placing 4 rope blocks, the remainder will drop on the ground as regular rope block items.
Replaced the texture of the existing rope block "item" with a smaller length of rope.
Break a piece of rope while sneaking to break and instantly collect the rest of the rope below it.
Craftable with just 4 pieces of regular rope, making it very convenient for spelunking!
