Create: Tilting Controls
by BirdSys.
Create: Tilting Controls adds tilting bearings and levers to the Create and Create Aeronautics ecosystem, so players can steer flying contraptions with compact setups.
What it does
Each part gives a builder a way to tilt or aim a propeller or turret without the bulky arrangements that Create setups often need. Aeronautics setups benefit most, because the controls fit into smaller designs.
Frequency configuration is opened by shift-clicking a Tilting Propeller Bearing. The frequency can be set to a redstone, lapis, diamond or emerald identifier, and the tilt direction is chosen by inspecting the block texture axis. Upgrading a Tilting Propeller Bearing changes its behavior, and the maximum tilting speed can be modified. The Tilting Swivel Bearing is turned toward one of four cardinal directions, and its redstone frequency is set the same way.
An integrated gyroscope, the On-Tilt Gyro, levels out flying contraptions. Its strength can be set so heavier contraptions get more correction than lighter ones, and the amount applied to a tilted propeller can be adjusted. Several server configurations control how these parts behave, and the defaults are tuned for a stable feel. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with version 0.9.0 as the latest file.
