RopeWeb

A builder tool: places diagonal "ropes" made of Biomes O' Plenty stringy cobwebs with one command, so builders do not have to set each block's facing and shape by hand.

What it does

  • Places a diagonal line of biomesoplenty:stringy_cobweb blocks. Each block steps 1 block sideways and 1 block up, with the right facing and the right shape (bottom end, middle, top end).
  • Can leave the ends open (all middle pieces) for ropes that continue into something else.
  • Can clear a rope again, removing only stringy cobwebs on that diagonal.

Needs Biomes O' Plenty. Server-side only.

How players use it

Players do not interact with this mod. It is a staff and builder tool.

Staff guide

All commands need op level 2. <from>, <to> and <start> are block positions (~ ~ ~ works). [caps] is true (default) for proper end pieces, or false for middle pieces at both ends.

Task Command
Rope between two points /ropeweb line <from> <to> [caps]
Rope from a start point, in a direction, a number of steps up /ropeweb place <start> <north\|south\|east\|west> <length> [caps]
Remove the stringy cobwebs on a diagonal /ropeweb clear <from> <to>

Examples:

/ropeweb line 100 64 200 110 74 200
/ropeweb place ~ ~ ~ east 12 false
/ropeweb clear 100 64 200 110 74 200

Rules for line and clear:

  • The two points must differ on one horizontal axis only (X or Z, not both).
  • The horizontal distance must equal the height difference. 10 blocks up means 10 blocks across.
  • The order of the points does not matter; the lower one is the bottom.

place takes a length from 1 to 128 and places length + 1 blocks.

Configuration

None.

Data and storage

None. It only places and removes blocks.

Troubleshooting

Message Cause Fix
Biomes O' Plenty stringy_cobweb block not found! Is BOP installed? Biomes O' Plenty missing Install it (the mod also declares it as required)
The two points are directly above each other... No horizontal offset Move one point sideways
The rope must go along a single horizontal axis... Both X and Z differ Line the points up on X or on Z
Horizontal distance (a) must equal vertical distance (b)... Not a 45 degree diagonal Adjust one point

Boot lines: RopeWeb loaded and RopeWeb command registered.

Maintainer notes

  • The block and its facing and connected properties are looked up by name at first use, so the mod has no compile-time dependency on Biomes O' Plenty classes.
  • clear sets blocks to air directly with removeBlock(pos, false). Breaking them normally would trigger the block's own cascade removal.
