GravityVS
by Camawama
GravityVS is a Forge game mechanics mod that lets entities change their gravity direction on Valkyrien Skies ships.
What it does
GravityVS is a fork of GravityAPI, the original project it descends from through an intermediate fork, and it changes the direction in which entities feel gravity. The mod is built to work alongside Valkyrien Skies, which is required, so entities placed on ships follow the altered gravity. Gravity Plating affects entities that sit on Valkyrien Skies ships. The gravity API it inherits from is published under the license of the original project, and GravityVS is released under the MIT License.
Files are published for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with the latest build 1.0.2 for 1.20.1 released on 2025-12-21 on the alpha channel. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is not open source. Development is ongoing: the author notes that the physics are still being stabilized, that a sliding bug affecting ship angles is under work, and that the internal logic currently allows only cardinal directions (N, S, E, W, Up, Down) with free rotation planned later.
Key features
Entity gravity direction
Entities can have their gravity pointed along a chosen direction instead of straight down.
Ship compatibility
Entities on Valkyrien Skies ships are affected by the altered gravity, allowing movement on walls, ceilings and angled airships.
Cardinal directions only
The current build limits gravity to the six cardinal directions, with free rotation planned for a future version.
Gravity Plating
Gravity Plating is included and affects entities placed on Valkyrien Skies ships.

Use cases
Airship walkways
Players on angled airships can walk across walls and ceilings of Valkyrien Skies ships with gravity pointed along the hull.
Who it’s for: Players who build Valkyrien Skies airships and want entities to stand on angled surfaces, and server owners who run ship builds on Forge 1.20.1.
How it compares
Misc Create Fixes is open source under the MIT License and runs on Forge and client and server for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, while GravityVS covers only 1.20.1 and is not open source. VSplit is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and supports both Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1, so it can be used where GravityVS cannot. Friction Fire is MIT licensed but not open source, on Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, so it covers a wider range of versions than GravityVS.

What the author says
License: Created under the terms of the original project's license. While currently in Alpha (Cardinal directions only), the internal logic has been rewritten to eventually support free rotation on any axis, allowing you to walk seamlessly on the walls and ceilings of angled airships.
