Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector

Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector is a small quality-of-life addon for Create Aeronautics / Create Simulated that makes rope docking possible.

Instead of manually placing a Rope Connector, this mod adds a throwable connector item. Throw it like a snowball, and if it hits a valid block face, it places a normal Create Simulated Rope Connector there.

The item then turns into a normal Rope Coupling that is already linked to that connector, ready to attach to a Rope Winch.

Features

* Adds a Throwable Rope Connector item * Thrown like a snowball or fire from the Rope Launcher * Added item Rope Connector Launcher for longer-range connector placement. * Places a normal Create Simulated Rope Connector * Converts into a normal Create Simulated Rope Coupling * Returned rope is already linked to the placed connector * Appears in the same slot after use * Failed throws do not consume the item (by default) * Configurable throw/launcher distance and velocity

How To Use
