Snake Charmer's Flute



The Snake Charmer's Flute is an item that summons a climbable snake. When used, it places a pot that a snake rises from. Once the snake reaches its full height of 80 blocks or touches a block it stops rising and becomes climbable like a Rope. It is also possible to place blocks against it when it is fully extended, and as such, it is possible to climb to the top of the Space layer by alternating between using the flute and blocks. The snake and the pot disappear after approximately 25 seconds. It also produces a small amount of light. It can be found in chests in the Underground Desert biome, or from Oasis crates.

Tips

 * The pot the snake comes from sits on top of breakable background objects. This means it cannot be used directly in front of particularly tall trees, and will sit on top of tall grass, cacti, tree branches, and the like.
 * The pot and snake can be summoned in lava, unlike placeable ropes.
 * This item is a good pre-Harmode alternative to the Ice Rod for building into the sky, as blocks can be placed next to the snake.

Trivia

 * The tooltip could be a reference to the fact that snakes are sometimes called "nope ropes".
