CBC-Navigators

Three tiers of fire-control blocks are added, each built from Create parts. A navigator is placed facing the right way and wired to a rotational power source. Players punch the target's X, Y and Z coordinates into the block, and it computes the yaw and pitch needed and writes them to whichever cannon mount is linked. The aim is set automatically, so the player does not have to judge elevation and traverse by eye.

The calculation takes real time and scales with the rotational speed the navigator receives. Higher RPM and bigger gearboxes shorten it, but a small floor-level block cannot finish instantly even with an extreme gear ratio. The result sits at Awaiting target until enough power arrives, then counts up calculation ticks over real time before writing the aim. The tiers differ in cost and capability, with powder charges and drag and gravity constants balanced in the mod's config.

The mod requires Create and Create Big Cannons, and it can be used with community addons for Create Big Cannons. Only the server and every player need it. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and is released under the MIT License without being open source.
