I've seen a grappling hook mod which is cool, but not good. I like the idea of a grappling hook that works much like a fishing pole, where it is lobbed, typically up, and you can drag yourself towards it, and hover in the air for a while, degrading the hook slowly, as well as throwing it degrades it. I could see it being made with an arrow at top, then string, then a stick. I could also see many other plausable combinations, many shaped like an actual hook. I thing this would make the game much more fun and make mountain mining easier, as well as even woodcutting, and even moreso the impending adventure mode would benefit greatly by its implimentation.
I am not a fan of grappling hooks, just seems like an easy escape from mobs.
Your idea does not seem well crafted either. Just a sudden impulse to rant about inadequacies of a mod and proposal to make it better (in which this is not the place to do so).
To this effect:
No
1) It seems like a sad and cheap gimmick to escape fighting mobs
2) Ladders are already in place and working.
3) This would be used a-la Legend of Zelda to cross large gaps to go from relative danger to relative safety (see reason 1)
4) It is far too easy to make using your premise. arrow, string, and stick are all easily acquirable ingredients.
Again... I wasn't looking for a QQ'ing match here... but fine. I'm not speaking of a mob retreat, it would be a short-range lobshot, only rly useful for vertical mobility, much like an old-style ninja grappling hook, or a rockclimber's harness line. I also don't mean like the one I saw with infinite range that just shoots to the other side of the map. When i meant it works like the fishing rod... I meant it quite closely. And I think that I even said that the idea was undeveloped and that many other combinations would probably suit better.
I like this idea a lot, It could be easily crafted.

Or vice versa. The diamond would be the catch while iron would be the base of the pole. Perhaps sticks would make more sense but this being such an awesome item to have I feel its design should carry a little more weight craft wise.
