Create Kinetic

by Lightning323

Create Kinetic is a Create addon that adds redstone and ship-control blocks for ships built with Create Aeronautics.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Create Kinetic adds compact redstone parts: a redstone conjuctor that packs a redstone block into a single block, a redstone inverter for analog signal inversion, and a redstone crossroads that lets redstone signals cross without interfering. Redstone links can carry item frequencies, so connecting two links no longer collides with other links that use the same frequency.

The addon also covers ship handling for Create Aeronautics. Sail pulleys and retractable sails can be used to build a mast out of blocks, a ship helm lets players steer a ship without a redstone controller, and an anchor stops a ship when it receives redstone power. Ballast weights help a ship float. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, across 18 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Compact redstone blocks

    A conjuctor, an inverter and a crossroads each occupy a single block for their redstone job.

  2. Frequency-aware redstone links

    Redstone links can carry an item frequency, so two links on the same frequency no longer need separate settings.

  3. Retractable sails and pulleys

    Sail pulleys raise and lower sails, moving the ship along, and build masts from blocks.

  4. Ship helm and anchor

    A helm steers a ship from any supported wood type, and an anchor halts it when powered by redstone.

  5. Ship naming commands

    A ship totem can be obtained and crafted, and a command renames the ship it is used on.

Questions

Which loaders does Create Kinetic support?

Create Kinetic is published for Forge and NeoForge. The latest Forge file is 3.2.1 for 1.20.6, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.4.1 for 1.21.1.

Does Create Kinetic need to be installed on the server?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can the mod be used without Create Aeronautics?

The ship helm, sails and anchor are built for Create Aeronautics ships, so those features depend on it. The compact redstone blocks and redstone links do not depend on it.
