Rope

Rope is an item in MQFM.

Description
Rope is an item that can be used when it is equipped, it is simply a long piece of rope with a loop at the end.

Crafting
In order to craft Rope, one must have 6 String and 2 Slimeballs. Arrange the String in the same way you would craft a door, then place the two Slimeballs in any of the remaining spaces to craft Rope.



Usage
Rope is one of the few tools that can assist in helping the player escape quicksand, and when equipped can be thrown using the left mouse button. The Rope can be thrown upwards of 30 blocks horizontally and roughly the same distance upwards although it depends on the angle it is thrown.

Rope can only attach to certain areas such as block collums or edges (single blocks sticking outwards) which severely limits its usefulness depending on the environemnt and location. Rope can also be used on leaves which is rather useful if the player finds themselves stuck in some Mire, Mud or even the Mucus Blossom if they react fast enough before they are engulfed.

Once the rope has attached itself to a compatible area, the player can pull themselves towards it by pressing or holding down the Space key. The force exereted is enough to pull players free from weaker quicksand type such as Mud or Mire. It will struggle to pull players free from stronger quicksand types such as Tar, Dense Webbing or Tangleroot Moss. Should the player wish to throw the rope to a different location, they can press the right mouse buttom to release the rope and allow them to throw the rope again.

Ropes are not invincible however, as pulling beyond its strength will cause it to degrade in durability. It will return back to full durability if only a little damage was made, but once it reaches a certain durability (roughly halfway) the damage will be permanent and once it reaches zero, it will snap and the player would be left with nothing. Which depending on the situation may leave them still stuck in whatever quicksand they are in.

Rope can also be used in moving around the world, while it can only attach to certain areas it can still be used to climb up walls if given the change and if one is daring enough, to be used to swing themselves across large holes. Though given the limited durability and throwing range of the Rope, one must be cautious as to not accidentally fall to their death while using it. The Rope can also be used to catch mobs in lieu of a fishing rod as the mob will usually be pulled towards the player if they are caught.

One thing to note, the Rope cannot be used in Creative Mode.

Trivia

 * The Rope and Grappling Hook are the only items added in MFQM to not work in Creative mode, presumably to avoid unintended effects and due to the fact the player can already fly.
 * The two are also the only items that help the player by pulling towards something.
 * Rope in MQFM is surprisingly fragile considering real life ropes are very durable, though given that it is made of string held together with slime it may explain why. It is unknown how the color is changed.
