How to Use Big Chains for Climbing and Hanging Lights

Climbing Big Chains

Big chains are heavy metal chains designed for structural support and vertical navigation throughout mineshafts and large halls.

1. Place a big chain against a ceiling block or suspend it from wooden beams.

2. Connect additional big chain links underneath until the chain reaches the desired height.

3. Walk directly into the chain and hold your jump key. Big chains function mechanically like ladders, allowing you to climb up, climb down, or hold sneak to stay in place.

Suspending Hanging Lights

Big chains also act as sturdy attachment points for overhead illumination:

1. Place big chains descending from high rafters or cave ceilings.

2. Attach a chandelier or brazier directly to the bottom chain link. Both fixtures are available in standard fire versions and blue soul fire variants.

3. If you decide to take down your lighting setup, place any chandelier into a crafting grid to uncraft it back into 4 torches.
