[1.7.10] Catwalks 2 Mod Download


This mod adds Catwalks, Caged Ladders, Scaffolding, and Support Columns, each of which has both practical and aesthetic uses. Except for the Support Columns, they just look cool.

  • Catwalks make you walk faster and can quickly be extended horizontally.
  • Caged Ladders can’t be fallen out of and can be climbed at almost 2x the speed of normal ladders.
  • Scaffolding can be climbed like a ladder. They can quickly be placed, destroyed, extended, and retracted. When you use the builder’s variety they act like tall grass, where right-clicking them with a block will replace them.
  • Support Columns mostly look cool. They technically are ladders but are so slow they’re pretty much useless as ladders.
  • Sturdy Rails are self-supporting versions of normal rails that don’t need a redstone signal to be active.

Features:

Blocks

Any of the blocks in this mod can be destroyed more quickly with a Blowtorch, or can be broken instantly and deposited directly into your inventory by shift+left-clicking with a Blowtorch.

Catwalk:

  • The sides of Catwalks can be enabled/disabled by right-clicking with a Blowtorch.
  • When any side of the Catwalk is disabled, the hitbox becomes 1/4 block tall and completely invisible unless you are holding a Blowtorch.
  • Right-clicking on the inside of the Catwalk will actually click on the outside, allowing you to place blocks on the outside of the Catwalk.
  • You can’t jump over the sides of a Catwalk unless you’re sneaking.
  • Catwalks will give you a speed boost while you are inside them, roughly equivalent to a speed 1 potion. (configurable)
  • If they are in a vertical stack, Catwalks can be climbed like ladders.
  • You can cling to a Catwalk that is in a stack by sneaking or holding a Blowtorch. If you are holding a Blowtorch, you can sneak to climb down.

Caged Ladder:

  • The sides of Caged Ladders can be enabled/disabled by right-clicking with a Blowtorch.
  • When any side of the Caged Ladder is disabled, the hitbox will shrink to 1/4 block wide and be completely invisible unless you are holding a Blowtorch.
  • Right-clicking on the inside of the Caged Ladder will actually click on the outside, allowing you to place blocks on the outside of the Caged Ladder.
  • Caged Ladders allow you to climb at almost 2 times the speed of normal ladders. ( about 5 blocks per second ) (configurable)
  • You cannot climb the outside of a Caged Ladder. (configurable)
  • You can cling to a Caged Ladder by sneaking or holding a Blowtorch. If you are holding a Blowtorch, you can sneak to climb down.

Support Column:

  • By default, Support Columns are a full block in length along one axis.
  • Support Columns will align with the side of the block they are placed on.
  • Support Columns can be made “non-directional” by right-clicking on them with a Blowtorch. (see image 2 above, center support)
  • Support Columns can be made “directional” again by right-clicking on them with a Blowtorch. This will align them with the side clicked.
  • Support Columns are climbable as ladders, although they are much slower than normal ladders.
  • You can cling to a Support Column by sneaking, holding a Support Column, or holding a Blowtorch. If you’re holding a Support Column or Blowtorch, you can sneak to slowly climb down.
  • Support Columns can be extended by shift+right-clicking one with a support column in your hand. This will extend it direction opposite the side clicked.
  • Support Columns can be retracted by shift+right-clicking one with a Blowtorch in your hand. This will retract it from in the direction opposite the side clicked.
  • Support Columns can show two particle effects when extending:

Scaffold:

  • Scaffolds will instantly break when hit.
  • Scaffolds can be extended/retracted exactly like Support Columns, and will show the same particle effects.
  • Scaffolds are climbable like ladders and are just as fast as ladders.
  • You can cling to a Scaffold by sneaking, holding a Scaffold, or holding a Blowtorch. If you’re holding a Scaffold or Blowtorch, you can sneak to slowly climb down.
  • Scaffolds come in two varieties:
    • Normal Scaffolds: These are just a normal block.
    • Builder’s Scaffolds: Right-clicking on these with a block will replace the scaffold with it that block.
  • Right-clicking a Normal Scaffold with a Blowtorch will toggle between the Normal and Builder’s Scaffold textures.

Sturdy Rails:

  • Sturdy Rails act almost exactly like vanilla rails.
  • There are Sturdy versions of all the vanilla rails.
  • Sturdy Rails don’t need a block to support them and can’t be placed directly above another rail.
  • Sturdy Powered/Activator Rails don’t require a redstone signal, instead they are toggled by right-clicking with a Blowtorch.
  • Right-clicking on the top of a Sturdy Rail with a Sturdy Rail in your hand will extend the rail line in the direction you are facing.
  • Sturdy rails will connect to normal rails.

Items

Blowtorch:

  • The Blowtorch is the configuration tool of the catwalks mod, although you should be able to use most wrenches interchangeably.

Rope Light:

  • Rope Light can be added to a Catwalk or Caged Ladder by right-clicking.
  • Rope Light will cause the block to glow and the texture to change.

Caution Tape:

  • Caution Tape can be added to a Catwalk or Caged Ladder by right-clicking.
  • Caution Tape will cause the texture of the block to change.
  • Caution Tape can be removed from a Catwalk or Caged Ladder by shift+right-clicking with an empty hand—first removing the lights, then the tape.
