maybe you can modify the hookshot addon or something
i'm no coder
There's pretty much no good way to do it. I mean I've seen a swing hook in Blockland, but unless it's done in the engine, there's no way to get the good smooth swing feel AoT has.

EDIT: I'm stupid this was already answered.
What would you port in remaking it anyway? Terrain is a bust, and we'd want to make interiors out of bricks anyway. Player models? Nah we got those with more customization and a 100% increase in genders available. Monsters? Could just use the same player minifig with unique decals and outfits. Any items would look horribly out of place, we already got horses...
Another thing missing I suppose are animations. We got no way to block with a shield mounted on our forearms, and only thing we can do with a sword is wave it back and forth.
Convince Badspot to port the hook, make some new animations, and bring back terrain, then rewrite the dialog scripts, inventory system, blacksmith, police, clothing, monsters, dungeon generation, shop, weapons, spells, beds, recreate the terrain from scratch, build all the interiors, place a few logs here and there, then run the server without visiting it for a few years, and you might have a decent remake of Age of Time.
