ShieldGrid - Create Aeronautics & Big Cannons Compat
by Munur35
ShieldGrid adds modular energy shield networks that guard bases, machines and Create Aeronautics contraptions against mobs, explosions and cannon fire.
What it does
A shield is built from several connected parts rather than one magic block. A Shield Controller is the main block of the system and opens a GUI where energy settings and trusted players are managed, along with player and mob entry permissions. Shield Module and Shield Stabilizer are both required components, and the shield cannot activate until both are present in the network.
Power comes from a Shield Generator that burns fuel such as coal, wood, blaze rods and lava buckets, and from Shield Batteries that store extra energy for the network. Shield Range Extenders increase the protected area, while Shield Radar blocks temporarily disable nearby shields. Shield Relays link separate ShieldGrid networks that are physically connected, with some energy lost in each transfer. The mod works on client and server, and files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1, with 1.1.6 as the latest file. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Connected shield network
Shields are assembled from a controller, modules, generators and batteries instead of a single placeable block.
Protection from threats
The shield stops projectiles from players and mobs, explosions from TNT and creepers, and thrown items.
Upgradable shields
Upgrades change the color, shape and mode of a shield, and an upgrade can also improve its cooldown.
Relay links
Shield Relays join separate networks, passing power between linked relays and losing part of it on each hop.
