In this suggestion we shall discuss the "Grappling Hook" which is used for reaching spaces that are too high/low for our normal player to reach. Not only will this require a single rope, but to make it so this can't make mining easy, it takes up spots in your "Armor" slots.
The first item is: The Grappling Hook
It is the item, which is similar to that of a fishing pole, which you "throw" at a ledge and slowly climb up or safely descend. It needs repair after 2 minutes of use. Repair it by placing string around it. (Top, Bottom, Left, and Right)
This would destroy the need of wasting our precious blocks to reach high areas, and would actually be pretty cool. Also, you can stay in a certain spot by pressing "SHIFT" allowing you to mine your precious goodies on the ceiling.
The recipe is this:
The second item is a necessity with grappling, meaning you cannot grapple without it.
It is called: The Safety Harness
This item goes into your body armor slot and needs to be repaired every 2 minutes of use to not break. To repair it you just put the item on the crafting table, and put 4 leather around it. (Top, Bottom, Left, and Right)
The recipe looks like this:
The third item is optional. It makes traveling down and up blocks a lot quicker, but the resources needed are spendy.
This item is called: The Speed Cleets
These make you faster going down and up by giving you extra grip on your rope with your feet, making it a lot quicker to descend or climb up. These also decrease fall damage and are put in your foot armor slot. It needs repair after every 3 minutes of use by placing 4 Obsidian around it. (Top, Bottom, Left, and Right)
It's crafted like so:
The last item is optional, and is only used to be able to see while descending into dark areas.
Its name is: The Mining Helmet
It has a light in the front, and gives off the light level of that of a glowstone, while being placed safely in your head armor slot. It needs a new light every hour (in real time) of use.
It is crafted like this:
Thoughts? I very well know this has been suggested plenty of times, I just tried to make an original suggestion with it.
Why should the items take up armor slots? maybe it be better to have their own slots and have the grappling hook have it's own slot (like an acessory?) or be used like any other hand held item (sword,fishing pole etc.) that way it doesnt need to use an armor slot? the idea very nice and i would love to have a mining helmet so i dont need so many torches imidiatly, i like this idea :biggrin.gif:

Thank you for the feedback. I assumed people would consider this over-powered so I decided they should take up armor slots. If not, I suppose custom accessory slots could be added.

Its just more convient? since if you had to constantly go to inventory and take that off and put on armor it would get annoying quick..plus with acessory slots in place notch COULD possibly maybe add more nifty acessories to enhance the minecraft experience :biggrin.gif:
