Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector

Patch notes (0.2.2)

• Fixed a full-inventory edge case where returning a prepared Rope Coupling after a successful throw or launcher shot could consume the rest of a stacked Throwable Rope Connector pile.
• When inventory overflow happens, the Rope Coupling now drops near the player (not flung far away), tuned to be between “at your feet” and “vanilla toss”.

Changelog 0.2.1

Fixed dedicated-server dependency metadata to require the Create Aeronautics bundle instead of standalone Create Simulated.

Changelog 0.2.0

Added new item Rope Connector Launcher for longer-range connector placement. It fires 40 blocks by default, up from the 20 the standard throw is configured for. NOTE this is max Create: Simulated allows unless you change Simulated's max rope legnth config.
Added config for Rope Connector Launcher range (See point above!)
Added Create-style launcher visuals, recoil, cog animation, and launch sound.
Added projectile rope trail visuals for thrown and launched connectors.
Added config to toggle rope visuals and change thickness.
Added Throwable Rope Connector custom graphics so it no longer looks identical to a normal connector. (And updated Mod icon on curseforge to match)
Launcher can be fired from either hand, using a Throwable Rope Connector in the other hand.
If you have a launcher in your off hand, and a throwable connector in your main, it will launch, not be thrown.
Improved returned Rope Coupling placement for stacked connectors and full inventories.
