How it works

Tetherhook blesses a fishing rod forged on a Runic Anvil with a grappling line. Cast while looking at a block, a wall, or a ceiling within 40 blocks. The line catches that face and yanks you toward it. Each yank spends one charge.

Good to know

• The hook never takes a creature. The Tetherhook will not take a creature.
• A cast that catches nothing costs nothing. The Tetherhook finds no block to catch.
• Too far away: The line will not reach that far (52 / 40).

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Tetherhook. Hold a fishing rod while you wake the rune.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/tetherhook.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Setting	Default	What it does
use-charges	true	true = finite tier charges, false = infinite charges
range	40	How far the line may yank you, in blocks.
pull-max-ticks	80	Unused — the yank is a single impulse, not a timed reel.
throw-speed	2.4	Unused — casts attach by raycast. Kept so existing configs still load.
pull-speed	1	How strongly the yank is scaled (1.0 = a full unit impulse).
pull-speed-per-block	0	Unused — the yank is a single impulse, not a per-block reel.
pull-speed-cap	2	Maximum speed added by one yank, in blocks per tick.
pull-lift	0.42	Extra lift when yanking from the ground, so you leave the floor.
pull-arrive	2	Unused — the yank is a single impulse, not a reel.
