[suggestion] Please Upgrade your grapplehook spell to something like this

The grapplehook spell is... somewhat pitiful honestly. :< (unless I'm missing something about it) would I be able to suggest a much better version of it?

  1. Allow the hook to atleast go atleast 10-16ish blocks range say. try like fishing rod range but fired like an arrow.

  2. Let it be cast without a block to contact as a projectile by holding rightclick, at which time the projectile is thrown out on a cord and does the following:

  3. When it strikes a mob let it stick to the mob and damage it (since it's projectile looks like an arrow), then when released yoink the mob towards you dealing damage again.

  4. When it strikes a block let the hook stop you from falling and pull you towards it's landed position. hovering you just short of it as if you're attached to the surface. Then, when you release rightclick it throws you towards your cursor, like a kind of wall jump or boost to get up and over ledges afterwards.

  5. if it can't reach anything cancel the effect and come back.

Then, it should be perfect.

Thank you for the suggestion! Not all spell are meant to be equally good, some might be a bit on the weaker side, but instead make up for that by being cool/interesting/fun spells. The reason I did not add the ability to hook entities is because you can already do that with a fishing rod.

I usually don't revisit spells unless absolutely necessary (I think it is more fun for both me and the players to instead focus on adding new spells), but I will leave this issue up in case I decide to take another look at the grappling hook spell.

It would be fine with atleast the terrain hooking, pulling then directional throwing then if you can. That's really what I want the most. a half decent grappling hook I can use early game along with my mobility mods etc.
