Ropes - great-big-world/concept-database GitHub Wiki

Type: Block
Subtype: Utility

Rope is a utility block used to transfer items using storage blocks and pulleys, or to travel vertically. Rope can be found in Abandoned Shack or Abandoned Mineshaft loot chests.

Placement

Rope can be placed on bottom surfaces. If you place a Rope on another Rope, it will shift the entire Rope column downwards. If you shift-right-click a Rope on another Rope, you're entire stack will be placed quickly, until the Rope column reaches a surface below. Placing a Rope in a Pulley will allow it to be automated via Redstone.

Natural Generation

Rope is found generating as part of Abandoned Mineshafts.

Storage Transportation

Storage Blocks, such as Chests, Barrels, Sacks, or Crates, can be attached to a Rope. These Ropes can only be moved using a Pulley, since the storage blocks are too heavy to lift with just a hand.
