About this Mod
🧗♂️ Verticality — Conquer the Heights!
Verticality is a dynamic Minecraft mod for Fabric 1.21.11 that revolutionizes mountain climbing and world exploration. No more endless staircases or digging dirt pillars to reach the top! Use advanced tools to dominate three-dimensional space with style and precision.
✨ Core Features
⚓ The Grappling Hook
Your new best friend for exploring deep caves and towering peaks.
Physics-Based Mechanics: The hook is a fully realized entity. It flies, rotates in the air, and bites firmly into blocks upon impact.
Dual-Action Logic: 1. The Throw: Launch your hook across vast distances.
- The Pull: Right-click again once attached to soar toward your destination!
Dynamic Icons: The item in your hand changes its appearance based on its state: you’ll always know if the hook is loaded, flying, or anchored.
Immersive Audio: Experience custom sound effects for the rope whistling through the air and the tension of the cable as it pulls you up.
👣 Wall Boots
Specialized iron footwear designed for those who laugh at gravity.
Controlled Descent: Hold Shift while against a wall to activate the claws. You will slide down slowly and safely, negating fall damage.
Block-Specific Particles: Watch as dust and debris fly from the surface you are sliding on—whether it's stone crags, wooden planks, or dirt.
Friction Sounds: You can literally hear the claws scraping against the surface as you descend.
🛠 Balance & Survival
Durability System: Tools aren't infinite! The Grappling Hook loses durability with every launch, and the Grip Claws gradually wear down as you slide.
Fair Progression: Crafted from iron and string, these tools are reliable gear accessible in the early-to-mid game.
Clean UI: The mod adds its own Custom Creative Tab, ensuring your climbing gear is always organized and never lost among vanilla items.
📥 Installation
Install Fabric Loader for 1.21.11.
Add the Fabric API to your mods folder.
Place the verticality.jar file in the same folder.
Important: This mod is Required on both Client & Server for proper physics, smooth movement, and particle rendering.
🎮 How to Use
The Hook: Aim for a ledge and Right-Click. Once it hooks a block, Right-Click again to pull yourself up.
The Boots: If you find yourself falling along a wall, Hold Shift to dig your claws in and slide down safely.
With Verticality, the sky isn't the limit—it's just the beginning! 🚀
