Create: Railgun
by Bowserinator
Create: Railgun adds a railgun to the Create Big Cannons line, a multiblock weapon that fires fast-moving explosive projectiles from ships, planes and long-range mounts.
What it does
The mod adds the Project Wingman railgun, built as a multiblock. Its burst shell fires several railgun shots in a spread pattern through Create Big Cannons. A new material, cordium, is introduced along with blocks that use it as an explosive, and crafting recipes cover the new parts. Railgun assembly is shown step by step through the Ponder viewer, and JEI can display the recipes.
Create: Railgun requires Create and Create Big Cannons. Create Aeronautics is required for the flying-vehicle use. Sable is optional, and when it is installed railguns account for the velocity of the physics object they are mounted on, which helps avoid firing into the vehicle itself. The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License.

How it compares
CC:CBC Compact Mount is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and adds a compact mount for the cannon line on NeoForge 1.21.1, rather than a railgun. Create Big Cannons:Simple Scope is not open source, is published under the MIT License, and adds a scope for aiming cannons on the same loader and version. Magnetization is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and works on NeoForge 1.21.1 as a magnetic mechanic, without the railgun weapon.
