VS: Hit & Run
by kawaiicakes
VS: Hit & Run makes Valkyrien Skies ships damage and knock back entities they collide with, using a mass-and-velocity formula that the server owner can tune.
What it does
Collisions between VS ships and entities deal damage. The amount depends on the ship's mass and how fast the entity moved into the hit, calculated with a damageCoefficient formula. Minimum and maximum damage bounds keep the result within limits set in the config, and a minimum collision velocity and minimum mass decide whether a hit counts at all.
Knockback is worked out the same way, using a knockbackCoefficient, with its own minimum and maximum values. The config notes that a typical knockback value is roughly equal to a knockback enchantment level. The mod requires Valkyrien Skies, and it runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 only. The MIT License covers the source code, which is open source, and the project has public links to its source and issue tracker.
Key features
Ship-to-entity damage
Entities hit by a Valkyrien Skies ship take damage scaled by the ship's mass and its speed at impact.
Knockback on impact
A colliding ship pushes entities away, with the force set by a separate coefficient and clamped by minimum and maximum values.
Configurable thresholds
Minimum collision velocity, minimum mass and the damage and knockback limits can all be adjusted in the config file.
Collision in Valkyrien Skies
The mod is an addon for Valkyrien Skies 2, so the hits come from real ship collisions in the physics world.

Who it’s for: The mod suits server owners and players who already run Valkyrien Skies and want ship collisions to hurt or push entities, with the balance tuned in the config.
