Create: VS Engineering

Added

• Added Ship Bearing, allowing Create contraptions to be converted into Valkyrien Skies ships while preserving rotational control through the bearing.
• Added Copycat Wings in four variants:
  • Full Block
  • Slab
  • Stairs
  • Vertical Stairs
• Added a dedicated mod creative tab for CVS Engineering content.
• Added copycat wing assets, recipes, loot tables, and block/item models for the new wing variants.

Copycat Wing Features

• Copycat Wings use block-style variants based on Copycats+ shapes.
• Wing behavior was adapted to match expected aerodynamic behavior similar to Create: Propulsion’s copycat wing logic.
• Copycat Wings support connected copycat visuals and proper material application.
• Improved face culling behavior so the copycat wing base state behaves correctly before a material is applied.
• Added Embeddium-specific compatibility for copycat wing occlusion handling where needed.

Ship Bearing Improvements

• Improved Ship Bearing integration with Create Interactive.
• Interactive contraptions mounted on a Ship Bearing now behave much closer to normal Valkyrien Skies ships instead of being restricted by standard contraption-only behavior.
• This reduces contraption-side interference for supported systems and allows more normal world-style interaction with blocks mounted on interactive Ship Bearing setups.

Mechanical Arm Compatibility

• Added Mechanical Arm support between:
  • world -> ship
  • ship -> world
  • ship -> ship
• Mechanical Arm targeting, range checks, and interaction logic now work across different ship/world spaces.
• Mechanical Arm behavior on interactive Ship Bearing structures was adjusted so it behaves more like normal block interaction instead of being limited by standard contraption rules.

Create Interactive Improvements

• Improved compatibility with Create Interactive so interactive contraptions mounted on the Ship Bearing are treated more like real ships/real blocks for supported interactions.
• Reduced standard contraption-rule interference for supported block systems.
• Deployer interaction logic and visual behavior on interactive Ship Bearing setups were corrected so rotation alone no longer incorrectly drives normal deployer use behavior.
• General interaction handling was refined so right-click behavior better respects normal block logic where appropriate on interactive Ship Bearing constructs.

Fluid / Pipe Compatibility

• Added Create fluid pipe compatibility for Valkyrien Skies ships.
• Open-ended pipes and pumps mounted on ships can now correctly interact with fluids in the world using the ship’s real transformed position.
• This allows ship-mounted Create fluid systems to detect and pull from world fluids correctly when their open pipe end is visually inside the fluid.
• Current scope:
  • supported: ship -> world fluid interaction
  • not supported: world pipe -> ship fluid target interaction

Compatibility / Maintenance

• Updated the mod to Create 6.0.8.
• Added current support structure for Copycats+-based wing content.
• Kept the mod focused on the current stable feature set without the removed experimental bearing systems.

Create: VS Engineering — Beta 1 (v0.1.0)

First public release of the addon, focused on the Ship Bearing and precise rotation control for moving structures.

Added

• New block: Ship Bearing.
• 2-channel control system (Linked Controller style).
• Each channel supports 2 frequency slots.
• Independent rotation limits:
  • Left Limit
  • Right Limit
• Adjustable rotation speed.
• Control options:
  • Auto Return
  • Keep Relative
  • Zero Ref (configurable reference point)
• Goggle tooltip showing current angle.
• Quick action: Shift + Right-click to deactivate.

Fixes and Improvements

• Full GUI pass (layout, alignment, sliders, and tooltips).
• Channel handling fixes (prevents unintended signal matches).
• Rotation and limit behavior fixes for more consistent control.
• Rendering fixes (top/shaft, lighting, and visual stability).
• Project rename/standardization:
  • Create: VS Engineering
  • Mod ID: cvsengineering

Tested Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.x
• Create 6.0.7
• Valkyrien Skies 2.4.10
• Create Interactive 1.2.1 (recommended)

Notes

• Native CC: Tweaked integration is not the focus of this release.
• For advanced contraption interaction/physics behavior, Create Interactive is recommended.
