Sliding down those iron bars

About this Mod
"To the Bat Poles" creates a one-way ride out of everyday iron bars!
Simply stack iron bars one-on-top-of-another to create a pole length of your choosing. Make sure the top of your pole is easily reached, jump at the pole and (provided you don't miss) off you go!
Created for firehouse builds and Batcaves in mind, your poles are an invaluable design tool to facilitate one-way dungeon travel. For the "immersion" sticklers among you, we have provided the capability of a slow climb back up if that's more your thing.
Pole-dancing skill tree not included!
Key features
- Craftable poles from common materials (wood, iron, glass) with varying descent speeds
- Redstone-powered poles that lift you upward when activated
- Using fences, iron bars, chains, posts and bamboo trees for sliding (configurable)
- Easy building by extending poles upward from the ground
- Simple controls for climbing, spinning (without sliding), and jumping off
- Pole-top decoration - place torches, banners, and other blocks on top; they rise as the pole extends (configurable)
- Pole repainting - use a brush in one hand, hold a sample block in the other, and carry water and dyes in your inventory to change pole appearance
