Casual Swing FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I make a swing?
Build a frame structure using any blocks, then use the Ponder scenes in-game to see exactly which blocks need to be moving parts. Once set up correctly, right-click the swing seat to ride it.
What blocks can I use for the swing frame?
You can use any blocks you like for the frame—wood, stone, metal blocks, or decorative materials all work. The mod lets you customize the appearance completely while keeping the mechanical parts functional.
How do I make the swing actually move?
The Ponder tutorial scenes show you which blocks need to be designated as moving parts. Follow the in-game guide to set up the mechanical components, and the swing will swing back and forth once you sit on it.
Can I control how high the swing goes?
The swing's motion is determined by how you build and position the mechanical parts shown in the Ponder scenes. Adjusting the frame height and structure design affects how the swing behaves.
Do I need special items or blocks to craft a swing?
No special crafting is required—you build swings directly in the world using regular blocks. The mod turns normal blocks into functional playground equipment through placement and setup.
Can multiple players ride the same swing?
Each swing seat accommodates one player at a time. You can build multiple swings in a set to let multiple players swing simultaneously.
Will swings work over water or lava?
Yes, swings function over any terrain including water and lava, making them useful for crossing dangerous areas safely while riding.
What happens if I break a swing while riding it?
You'll dismount from the swing when its structure is destroyed. Build your swings in stable locations to avoid accidental breakage.
Can I use swings in creative mode?
Yes, swings work in both survival and creative mode, making them useful for building playground structures and testing designs in either mode.
Do swings cause lag or performance issues?
Swings are designed to be lightweight, but having many active swings with players riding them simultaneously could impact performance depending on your system. Build and use them reasonably for best results.
