Valkyrien Skies Control

The mod requires Valkyrien Skies, and its ship control blocks depend on the Valkyrien Skies World function to work. A physics infuser turns a block into a physics core, and the cores let a built structure be destroyed and disassembled as a ship. Once the cores are removed, the ship can take itself apart.

Control is split between three controller blocks. A left lift lever sets the altitude of the ship, a middle ship helm turns it by steering the rudders, and a right chadburn changes the speed and direction of the propellers by shifting gearbox ratios. Large propellers are driven by an engine, and a left engine produces torque that passes through the chadburn before reaching the propeller, where it becomes thrust. Mini propeller engines are powered by redstone and suit smaller ships.

Lift comes from Valkyrium Compressors, which generate upward force, and the lift control lever uses those compressors to move the ship toward a target altitude. The mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is published for Forge only, in version 1.1.6 for 1.12.2, released under the Apache License 2.0 and not open source.
