## About
Climb and descend ladders at the speed you choose, with the control scheme you prefer — hold jump, or simply look where you want to go. Vanilla ladders are one fixed speed with no way to steer them.
**Install on both client and server for multiplayer** — the server sends its limits, and the slower of your setting and the server's cap applies. **Works in singleplayer** out of the box. On a vanilla or modless server it stays inactive, so it never gives an advantage where it isn't installed. On Fabric, Fabric API is required.
**Free to use in any modpack** — public or private, no permission needed.
## **What it does**
- **Three activation modes** — hold jump to climb (`INPUT_FIRST`, default), climb purely by looking (`LOOK_ONLY`), or the original look-and-walk behaviour (`LEGACY`).
- **Your own speeds** — set ascent and descent speed yourself; look up to climb, look down to drop quickly.
- **Sneak to stop** — holding sneak stops you on the ladder, and also cancels fast descent while `sneakStopsDescent` is on.
- **Every climbable block** — ladders, vines, and anything else vanilla treats as climbable.
- **In-game settings screen** — open it from the mod list or with `/flc`; changes apply when you press Done.
- **The server stays in charge** — server-side limits cap what players can set, so servers and packs keep control.
- **10 languages** — English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, and Italian; the settings screen follows your game language.
## **Configuration**
Open the settings from the mod list (Mod Menu on Fabric — optional; built-in on Forge and NeoForge) or with the client-side command `/fasterladderclimbing` (short: `/flc`), which works on any server. Changes apply when you press **Done**.
Your preferences live in `config/fasterladderclimbing/client.json`; what a server allows lives in `server.json`.
Note the defaults: ascent starts at vanilla speed, so out of the box the mod changes **how** you climb rather than how fast. Raise the climb-up speed to go faster.
## **For modpack authors**
- `server.json` sets what is allowed here — `enabled`, `upSpeedLimit`, `downSpeedLimit`. It ships fully permissive; lower the limits to cap a pack, or set `enabled` to `false` to switch the mod off without removing it.
- Out-of-range or malformed values are clamped, not rejected — a broken config never stops the game from starting.
- No items, blocks, entities, recipes, world generation or key bindings — nothing to conflict with, and it can be removed from an existing world with no side effects.
