Create Rocket Alternative - Obsidian Propeller
by horsemanraj
Create Rocket Alternative - Obsidian Propeller is a Forge add-on for the Create mod that adds an obsidian propeller as an alternative rocket part for Elytra rockets.
What it does
The add-on depends on Create, which the mod needs to run, and it supplies a crafting recipe for an obsidian propeller that serves as an alternative to the rockets Create already offers. Players craft the part through Create's processing machines, so the recipe follows the Create workflow rather than vanilla crafting. Because Create is required, the add-on cannot be installed on its own.
Crafting is added through a datapack, which means the recipe is defined in data files that can be read and edited. The author notes that the recipe is a starting point and that the item itself is incomplete, leaving room for players to build their own uses. The mod is published for Forge and covers Minecraft 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4, with 0.0.1-1.19.2 as the latest file.
Create Rocket Alternative is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed. The first build was published on 2023-12-17, the same day as the latest update.

Right now there is no crafting recipe built into the mod as I wanted people to use their imagination to create a craft that works best for them. Crafting can be…
