ch: BOOM!
by HEXAGON
ch: BOOM! is a Forge technology mod for 1.20.1 that adds ship weapons and thrusters for space combat, planned to build on the Cosmic Horizons space framework.
What it does
Installation requires Cosmic Horizons and Starlance, and Valkyrien Skies is optional. Cosmic Horizons provides the space setting this mod builds on, so the mod cannot run without it. The mod is published for Forge only, for game version 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it. The latest Forge file is 1.2.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-03-10, and the first file appeared on 2025-02-13.
The stated aims are ship-to-ship combat, planet destruction, and a range of thrusters and weapons. Several of these are described by the author as planned rather than present, including laser thrusters, a light speed thruster, and a laser weapons block. Files are published under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
The mod is an addon for Cosmic Horizons, and players who run that space content on a server will need the same setup on every client. Valkyrien Skies is optional and is not needed to load the mod.
