VS Shields

by lennypane

VS Shields gives Valkyrien Skies 2 ships a configurable energy shield that wraps the whole hull and grows as blocks are added.

ForgeClient and serverCustom license1.20.1

What it does

The shield is powered by FE from Create and comes in three tiers, Iron, Diamond and Netherite, each with more hit points and a higher FE cost to recharge. Capacitors and emitter blocks add hit points, faster recharge and stackable upgrades. The shield bubble follows the ship's size automatically, padded ten blocks around its bounding box on each side.

The mod also adds crew and tactical tools: a Shield Battery multiblock that absorbs a share of incoming hits and restores HP in an emergency, a Shield Jammer that drains enemy shield energy, and a Gravity Field Generator that grants flight and fall protection to crew inside the shield radius. The Ship Analyzer is a handheld scanner that shows ship systems through walls, and Tactical Goggles occupy the Curios head slot to provide night vision.

VS Shields requires Valkyrien Skies 2, Architectury API and Embeddium. It is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is custom, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Tiered energy shields

    Iron, Diamond and Netherite tiers set the shield's hit points and how much FE recharging it costs.

  2. Shield battery multiblock

    A 3×3×3 structure absorbs part of each hit and restores shield HP when the ship is near destruction.

  3. Shield jammer

    A 3×3×3 electronic warfare station burns out the shield energy of nearby enemy ships.

  4. Gravity field generator

    Crew inside the shield radius receive creative-style flight and immunity to fall damage.

  5. Ship analyzer HUD

    A handheld scanner highlights ship systems through walls, toggled with Y and zoomed in four steps with Shift+V.
