I'm sure a few of you have played Terraria. (I don't want to hear complaints about the similarities between Minecraft and the before mentioned game.) One thing I personally think that Terraria excels in, is the implementation of the grappling hook. It would be extremely useful in an upcoming update considering all of the changes coming with 1.8 (i.e. Ravines, strongholds, and possibly a heightened max altitude.)
The way I imagine it could be crafted is with another new item, twine. This would be crafted like so:
[ ] = blank
[ ] [string] [ ]
[ ] [string] [ ]
[ ] [string] [ ]
Using this twine, you could craft the grappling hook (along with some iron) as shown.
[ ] [iron] [ ]
[ ] [twine] [ ]
[ ] [twine] [ ]
Also, it could act more realistically in the world of minecraft. It could be affected by gravity the farther it goes, or could only hook onto certain materials. I can see this becoming just another of the suggestions that I throw out that everyone flips out about and shuns me... but please consider this.
Or possibly craft rope out of twine and replace the twine in the crafting recipe for the hook with rope.
Or possibly make the hook out of diamond rather than iron so that it is harder/rarer to get.
Maybe you can make it out of either like with tools? A different durability for each tier, but likely only iron and diamond.
I like the idea.

Good idea! I guess the whole tier thing is kinda what I was aiming for :wink.gif: And maybe the different crafting materials could hook onto different blocks and/or reach farther?
This has sadly been suggested before, use the search next time.
Grapple Hooxs would be really over powered in my opinion.
Think about it. WHY DOES IT MATTER IF IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED BEFORE! Like, seriously. Why is it a big deal? I would love to hear a genuine reason for this nonsense.
