Version 0.5 (Datapack)

Version 0.5 (Packaged as mod)

by Eroxen on Jul 28, 2025
Download

Version 0.5 is a complete rewrite of Catenary, fixing longstanding bugs and reworking major mechanics. Old catenaries are likely broken, so it is recommended to remove them before updating.

Changes:

  • Catenaries are no longer crafted in the Crafting Table. You must now craft a Catenaring Table first.
  • The Catenaring Table is a new workstation that allows deep customisation of catenaries.
  • Some catenaries that were craftable previously can not be reproduced with the new crafting system at the moment.
  • Added a Catenary menu to the pause screen using Dialogs. This means Catenaty now uses "experimental features" and can no longer run on Minecraft Realms.
  • Added a configuration menu
  • Added a statistics menu
  • Reworked zipline physics
  • Added new Zipline Mount Pad block that puts entities on a nearby zipline when they step on it
  • Added Zipline Lift Upgrade that makes you able to travel upwards on catenaries
  • Added a secret advancement related to ziplines
  • Catenary locking has been replaced with waxing
  • Changed how catenary items behave while placing; the item now no longer changes when you select a point, and particles have been changed to trail particles

Fixed bugs:

  • Very long catenaries would break previously due to problems with the underlying math
  • Fixed several issues relating to ziplines

  • Updated to Minecraft 1.21.4
  • Catenary rocket items now use the item_model component to look differently
  • You can now chain ziplines: finishing one zipline ride will try to start another one attached to the same anchor

Version 0.3.1 - The Zipline Update!

by Eroxen on Jul 21, 2024
Download

This version turns every catenaty into a useable zipline! These ziplines have realistic movement mechanics, so be careful not to get stuck in the middle of a rope!

Changes:

  • You can now lock or unlock catenaries by right-clicking an anchor with an (Ominous) Trial Key. Locked catenaries cannot be broken by left-clicking.
  • You can now use catenaries as a zipline by right-clicking an anchor with a Bow.
