Valkyrien Skies

by rubydesic

With Valkyrien Skies, blocks can move, scale and respond to physics, so built structures can sail as mini ships or large ships.

What it does

The mod is a library: it supplies the physics layer that add-ons use to make ordinary gameplay possible. Because it is a library, players install an add-on alongside it to see its effects in play; Eureka! is one add-on the author points to for that purpose. Valkyrien Skies needs Fabric API and Kotlin for Forge, and runs for Fabric and Forge on 1.12.2 – 1.20.1, with files for 1.20.1 as the latest release. Both client and server need the mod, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Moving blocks

    Blocks can be set in motion and carry their contents across the world as a single structure.

  2. Scalable structures

    Built objects can be scaled, from small mini ships up to very large ships.

  3. Physics-driven blocks

    Blocks respond to simulated physics, so their weight and motion follow the rules of the layer.

Questions

Does Valkyrien Skies need Fabric API or Kotlin for Forge?

Fabric API is required on Fabric and Kotlin for Forge is required on Forge. Both are required dependencies.

Why does Valkyrien Skies need an add-on to play?

It is a library mod, so its physics are used by add-ons. Eureka! is suggested as an add-on to try.

What the author says

Valkryien Skies 2 is in BETA. It's generally stable and you can play with it, but we haven't even reached 1% of our full potential! Blocks that move. Blocks that scale. Blocks with physics. Mini ships. Huge ships. With Valkyrien Skies, not even the sky is a limit.
