Sable Long Range Warfare
by defpwoq
Sable Long Range Warfare brings long-range military systems into the Create and Sable ecosystem, with radar, guided missiles and aircraft weaponry for NeoForge on 1.21.1.
What it does
The mod adds a military expansion to Create, with an advanced radar system that detects, tracks and engages targets through a dedicated radar network. Aircraft use MFD controllers for short-range combat, while ships use CIC controllers for long-range engagements and fleet management. Each unit can be given a unique four-digit IFF code so friendly and hostile forces can be told apart, which lowers the risk of firing on allies during multiplayer operations.
Missiles integrate chunk loading, so they keep flying over extreme distances without despawning. Combined with the guidance systems, engagements can happen well beyond visual range. Missiles can be flown in several profiles, including head-on runs, arcing trajectories, terminal dives and low sea-skimming paths. The mod is built around large-scale multiplayer play at realistic engagement ranges.
Sable Long Range Warfare needs Create, Create Aeronautics, Create: Tweaked Controllers, GeckoLib and Sable on NeoForge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.21.1, published 2026-08-17, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Nuclear Warfare Weaponry is NeoForge, client and server, published for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 and released under All rights reserved, so it targets later versions than this mod. Eshan's Missile Mod is also NeoForge and client and server for 1.21.1, but it is a separate missile mod under All rights reserved, not built on the ecosystem this mod uses.
