Grappling Hook
Finally! A Standalone Grappling Hook For Bukkit!
Compatible with Minecraft 1.8!
ATTENTION!
This project is now being updated and maintained on Spigot.
Features:
- No commands necessary.
- Pull yourself to locations.
- Pull entities to you.
- Pull items on the ground to you.
- Configurable durability on grappling hooks.
- No permissions required. (But are supported)
- No configuration required. (But is optional)
- Plug and Play.


How To Use:
Just throw the hook out onto a solid block, and when pulling it back in, you will be pulled to its location.
If the hook sticks into a mob or player, they will be pulled to you.
If the hook sticks into an item on the ground, the item will be pulled to you.
If the you reel in the hook when it is in water or still in the air, it will behave as a normal fishing rod.

Posted Jul 20, 2013For some reason, I have to set use_permissions to 'true' to get permissions to work, not just true.
The grapplinghook.give permission doesn't work at all, still only works for OPs.

Yeah sure. I can add that feature in the next update. Just so I remember though, can you submit a ticket? And thanks a lot for the donation! I sent you a message through Bukkit.

Posted Jul 7, 2013Could you possibly add in a feature to disable crafting of them? I'm thinking of making them exclusive to events, since they alone are quite OP.
Also, sent in a donation! :)

Posted Jun 29, 2013Will you add durability to the Grappling Hook? So you are only able to use 1 Grappling Hook x times? (I prefer 10 times)

No worries. In the config.yml file located inside of the Grappling Hook folder, you can set usePermissions to false.

Ah okay I got you. Yeah as long as you do not release it publicly I dont mind. You can hack at it all you want as long as you keep it for private use. I will message you.

I just dont understand why you want to build it with McMMO. You can have both plugins running together and it will still work fine.

Posted Jun 5, 2013This might be a little too much to ask for but I am looking to add a similar function as this into the plugin McMMO, but as I am pretty new to bukkit coding I cant seem to figure out how I would achieve this.
If you wouldn't mind sharing your source code so I could get a rough idea of how I could do it it'd be greatly appreciated, this will only be for private use on my server. I'll completely understand if you don't feel safe sharing it.
Thanks!

Drop the downloadable .jar file into your /server/plugins folder via ftp of windows explorer if you're on a local system.

Posted May 20, 2013Thanks for creating and sharing this plugin.
Grappling Hook 1.2 works on CraftBukkit 1.5.2-R0.1 with bPermissions 2.10.4 and Java 1.7u15 (64-bit) on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 LTS.
There are no console errors during startup, usage or shutdown and it works as described.
I also like how the use of it is very intuitive.
Thanks, LHammonds

Posted May 12, 2013Will you ever finish it so that instead of teleporting to the location you get "pulled" there with momentum, like the MineZ grapple?

Posted May 10, 2013You could redo it so that when you grapple a wall face, a temporary glass block appears beneath the person on the wall, ready to grapple again.
