Frictionless Ceramic (For Use With Valkyrien Skies)
by coltonlshort
Frictionless Ceramic adds zero-friction blocks for building smooth boat roads and surfaces in Valkyrien Skies contraptions.
What it does
Frictionless Ceramic is a Forge addon for Valkyrien Skies. Its blocks have zero friction, so objects sliding across them keep moving, which suits boat roads and Valkyrien Skies or Create Clockwork vehicles and contraptions. The base block is an un-dyed End Stone variant, and 16 color variants follow it. Dyeing and recipes are described by the author as a starting point.
The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2. Client and server share the same blocks, so the server and every player need it. The author notes that the blocks may get a higher-friction counterpart, and that a blasting or smelting recipe for the base block takes around five minutes per block, a balance value the author describes as a guess. Installation needs Valkyrien Skies on Forge to be useful for vehicles, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

What the author says
This mod adds set of 17 (1 base + 16 color variants), that have Zero Friction, called 'Frictionless Ceramic.' You can get the base un-dyed block by blasting (not smelting) End Stone, and then it can be dyed into the 16 colors (any can be dyed into any other). However, blasting takes 5 minutes per block, for balance I…
