VS: Collision damage
VS: Collision damage makes ships built with Valkyrien Skies take damage when they collide with each other or with blocks in the world.
What it does
Collision damage depends on the speed of the impact, and it applies to entities as well as blocks. The mod has two modes of operation, and in its current form damage is applied only between ships; damage to blocks in the world is planned for later updates. Settings are changed in the collision damage common configuration file, and the author recommends the PhysX backend, since the mod is tuned for the PhysX collision mode of Valkyrien Skies.
The mod is designed around ships and structures from Valkyrien Skies, and the author notes it pairs with Create Big Cannons, which can be used to test impacts with exact mass copycats. Required dependencies are Valkyrien Skies, Kilt and Create Big Cannons. The mod runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 and is open source under the MIT License, with public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki.
The mod is in alpha, so the author advises making backups of worlds before installing it. Client and server both need the mod, and improvements are expected in later updates. Reports and ideas can be sent through the GitHub issue tracker.
