Sheetmetal Planes
by FoxxieBug
Sheetmetal Planes is a small Forge and NeoForge add-on whose blocks are sheetmetal materials, so other mods can use them.
What it does
The mod registers its own sheetmetal blocks under the forge:sheetmetals tag, which lists sheetmetal materials for other mods to read. Players can use these blocks as building material in mods that accept sheetmetal, and the mod sits alongside Simple Planes, which is built for planes. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it installs it too.
The mod includes decorative sheetmetal materials of the kind used by tech mods such as Immersive Engineering. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Forge and NeoForge, with 1.0.0 as the latest file for each loader. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is not open source.
