Create: Skies on Fire
by SSbaxyS
Skies on Fire, a Create addon for Forge 1.20.1, lets players build modular rockets, arm them with warheads and deploy drones.
What it does
Players assemble rockets from modular components, then arm them with one of seven warhead types, each with its own effect. The rocket build is previewed with a blueprint that lists the required materials before anything is placed. Heat-Resistant Plates protect the hull and nose cone, and a Rocket Engine Core serves as the heart of the thruster.
The addon also adds control drones for reconnaissance and strikes, including FPV drones that can be placed on the ground and bound to a controller with Shift and right-click. Redstone Targeter blocks and Remote Targeter items store coordinates so drones and rockets can receive a target. A Warhead Detector watches the sky and sends out a Redstone signal whenever it picks up rockets on approach. The mod runs on client and server, so both need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source code repository.
Key features
Modular rocket building
Rockets are built from separate components, so the design of each launch vehicle is up to the player.
Seven warhead types
Rockets can be armed with one of seven warheads, and each warhead type has a distinct effect on impact.
FPV drone control
Brass FPV drones are placed on the ground and bound to a controller with Shift and right-click.
Redstone targeting
Targeter blocks and items save coordinates, which are uploaded to the rocket or drone for strikes driven by Redstone.
Warhead detection
The Warhead Detector scans the sky and sends a Redstone signal when a rocket is detected inbound.
Built-in tutorials
A single block item includes an animated tutorial through Create's Ponder system, with English and Russian versions.
