by savereks

Locometal Armor for Create Big Cannons adds a locometal block material whose armor properties make buildings resistant to projectiles.

NeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Locometal is a block material added by the mod, with raised toughness that lets it resist projectiles far better than its base form. Walls built from it hold up against cannon fire from Create Big Cannons. Blocks with the default blast resistance cannot be broken by TNT or End Crystals.

Locometal Armor requires Create Big Cannons and Steam 'n' Rails NeoForge. Steam 'n' Rails is an addon by the MinWix Mods team that brings the armor properties into the Create setup, and the mod also works with Steam Rails for compatibility with Create. A spark effect plays on locometal blocks.

The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and the latest file is 2.0.0, dated 2026-10-09.

Key features

  1. Locometal block toughness

    Locometal blocks use a raised toughness value, so walls and buildings made from them resist projectiles much more.

  2. Blast resistance

    Blocks with default blast resistance cannot be destroyed by TNT or End Crystal explosions.

  3. Spark effect

    A spark effect appears on locometal blocks as a visual marker of the material.

  4. Steam Rails support

    The Steam 'n' Rails addon adds the armor properties to locometal, giving the Create setup a compatible material.
