CBC Ballistics Fix Sable
by Introx
CBC Ballistics Fix Sable is a NeoForge patch that stops the game freezes caused by CBC Ballistics rangefinder radios aimed at physical ships.
What it does
When a Create Big Cannons rangefinder radio on a Create Aeronautics ship sends a target to the Artillery Coordinator, the calculated coordinates can land far outside the loaded world. Attempting to draw the dispersion circles and lines for such a target spawns a huge number of particles at once, which reaches the Minecraft engine cap and freezes the game completely. The mod addresses this crash path with a lightweight patch that works through Mixins to limit how many particles can be generated.
The fix requires Create Aeronautics, Create Big Cannons and Sable, all three of which must be installed alongside it. It is built for NeoForge and published only for Minecraft 1.21.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Particle generation cap
Mixins limit how many particles the rangefinder display can spawn for a single target, keeping the game responsive.
Rangefinder radio support
The patch targets the CBC Ballistics rangefinder radio used with physical ships built in Create Aeronautics.
Dispersion display
Dispersion circles and lines still render for targets, but without the particle spike that freezes the game.
Targeting far away
Targets calculated far from the ship no longer cause the game to hang when the artillery data is sent.

How it compares
CC:CBC Compact Mount is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, released under the Apache License 2.0 and open source. It adds a compact mount rather than patching the rangefinder. Create Big Cannons: Ballistic Computer is also NeoForge for 1.21.1, client and server, under the MIT License, and is not open source. Its focus is the ballistic computer, not the particle freeze.
