 ### *Slam your pickaxe into a wall mid-fall and stop yourself before you splat.* --- ## **Overview** Falling toward a wall? **Right-click** it with a pickaxe. It bites into the surface and friction bleeds off your downward speed as you scrape along the edge. Harder blocks provide more resistance, slowing you down significantly faster. > **Note:** Higher-tier pickaxes hold onto surfaces longer and drain durability at a lower rate. | Block Type | Behavior | Effect | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Hard Blocks***(Stone, Obsidian)* | Friction eats momentum every tick until you stop dead, hanging in place until grip or durability expires. | **Full Stop / Lock-In** | | **Soft Blocks***(Dirt, Sand)* | No locking mechanic. You slide continuously down the face of the wall. | **Reduced Damage** | > **Quick Escape:** Double-tap **Crouch** within **0.7 seconds** to kick yourself off the wall at any time, whether you are hanging still or mid-slide. --- ## **Visual Showcase** ### **Soft Block Dampening** *Reduces fall damage roughly in half, capped so even a massive slide won't kill you.* | Standard Fall | Wall Slide | | :-: | :-: | | | | | *No slide (Full Damage)* | *Sliding (Half Damage)* | --- | **Hard Block Catch** | **Wall Kick Jump** | | :-: | :-: | | | | | *Bleeds speed until fully locked* | *Double-tap crouch to kick off mid-hang* | --- ## **Enchantments** Apply these to pickaxes via an Enchanting Table or Anvil: | Enchantment | Max Level | Effect | | :--- | :-: | :--- | | **Grip** | III | Extends how long you can hang onto a wall before slipping | | **Momentum** | III | Reduces the forced cooldown length after slipping | --- ## **Compatibility** Tested and confirmed to work seamlessly alongside: * **Tinkers' Construct** *(Credit: Elizabeth_Mahiko)* * **Mekanism / Mekanism Tools** * **Silent Gear** * **ParCool** *(Credit: Brizo)* * **Zipline: Rezipped** *(Credit: greetedsnow)* * **Wall-Jump TXF** *(credit: ANormalRaft)* ---
