Simple Thrusters
by Atomic-Mods
Simple Thrusters brings six thruster blocks to Forge, with three control tiers from a fixed output to computer-controlled power levels.
What it does
Six thruster variants are added, and each one applies force from the center of gravity of the object it is attached to, not from its own block position. This makes them suited to ships and airships built in Valkyrien Skies, where a rocket or airship is steered by the thrust it produces. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge only, for six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, dated 2026-04-01.
The simplest thruster is an on-off block whose output is set by the player. The advanced thruster offers 15 power levels that follow the strength of a redstone signal, with a base value that can be adjusted. The smart thruster is driven by computer control and accepts 255 distinct power levels. Because the mod integrates with Create, the author notes it works with several Create versions, though the author states that the code has not been tested.
Key features
Six thruster variants
Six different thruster blocks are included, each adding force to a physical object in its own way.
Center-of-gravity thrust
Thrust is applied at the center of gravity of the structure rather than at the block position, which suits moving vehicles.
Simple, redstone and computer control
Power can be set by hand on a simple thruster, follow a 15-level redstone signal on the advanced one, or use 255 levels from computer control on the smart one.
Valkyrien Skies builds
The thrusters are intended for ship, rocket and airship builds made in Valkyrien Skies.
