Grappling Hook

Grappling Hook is an item in MFQM.

Description
Rope is an item that can be used when it is equipped. It is a mechanical device that can fire a hook attached to a cable.

Crafting
Crafting the Grappling Hook takes some work as the materials needed can only be crafting using items obtained from the world. Three specific parts are needed which are Cable, Coil and Hook.

Cable is crafted by placing 3 Iron Ingots vertically, Coil is crafted in a similar way but with a block of Obsidian in the middle. The Hook is crafted by having 5 Iron Ingots in a vauge upside down Y pattern with a piece of Redstone dust in the middle.

Once all three are aquired, the parts are aranged in a specific manner with the Hook being on the middle right, the Cable in the middle and the Coil in the middle left. Two Iron Ingots at the bottom left and middle, one Redstone Dust in the top right and an Iron Ingot in the top middle.

Usage
The Grappling Hook is one of the few tools to help the player escape quicksand and functions similarly to the Rope. Unlike the rope however which is thrown by hand, the hook is fired towards wherver the player is aiming at which is done by pressing the Left mouse button and will attach itself to a compatible surface upon contact. Unlike the Rope it can be attached to any solid surface with the exception of Leaves as the hook will not be able to physically attach to it.

Due to it being mechahnical, it exerts far more force than the Rope and can easily pull players out of sticky situations with little problem which to do so players must press either the Jump key or the Left Mouse button. Also due to it primarily made out of iron, it has a much higher durability which can help if the quicksand persists to pull the player in.

The Grappling Hook will eventually take damage from putting too much strain on the cable from movement or attempting to escape quicksand and it will break the Grappling Hook, though the player can repair the tool by getting new Cable and a new Hook. Thankfully the Hook can be retrieved when the Grappling Hook breaks but depending on where it breaks it may not be able to be retrieved.

Much like the Rope, it can help with getting around the world and to catch mobs with a more stronger and faster force. It also cannot be used in Creative mode.

Trivia

 * It is odd that the Hook requires Redstone Dust in its crafting recipe, it may be simply be for a sensor in the hook for it to determine if the surface is compatible.
 * Due to it needing Obsidian, it requires players to mine for Diamonds before even attempting to craft it, though one can simply search for villages for Obsidian.
 * Real life grappling hooks exist, though most are often custom made and none are as powerful nor as capable.
