Equip and Aim

Place a fishing rod in your offhand. With your Omni-enchanted crossbow, load and fire the rod toward a target—either a light mob or a heavy block/structure.

How the Hook Works

When the fishing rod projectile hits its target, the physics change based on what you hit:

  • Light mobs get pulled toward you
  • Heavy objects or blocks pull *you* toward them instead

This creates a functional grappling hook mechanic for mobility and combat.

Tactical Uses

  • Swing across gaps or climb cliffs by firing at distant blocks
  • Yank enemies closer for melee combat or to interrupt their attacks
  • Escape danger by pulling yourself away from threats
  • Combine with fall-damage negation (honey bottles) for safer traversal

The fishing rod becomes a mobility tool rather than just a fishing device, opening up new movement options across your world.
