Create: Airburst

Create: Airburst

A Create addon that turns the Extendo Grip into a backtank-powered burst mobility tool.

Overview

Create: Airburst adds the Airburst Wand, an Extendo Grip variant crafted with Breeze components and powered by Create backtank pressure. It keeps the normal Extendo Grip reach behavior, including offhand and mixed Extendo Grip handling, while adding configurable directional burst movement.

Features

| Feature | Details |
| — | — |
| Extendo Grip behavior | Functions like Create’s Extendo Grip for reach, offhand use, held items, and mixed grip behavior. |
| Airburst | Press R by default to launch in the precise direction you are facing. |
| Reverse Airburst | Press G by default to launch in the opposite direction. |
| Mounted Airburst | While riding, the burst affects the top entity in the riding chain. Mounted velocity starts at 1.0 and loses 0.2 for each extra vehicle in the chain. |
| Backtank powered | Survival use consumes 10 backtank pressure units. Creative players do not consume pressure. |
| Configurable tuning | Cooldown and launch velocity are configurable with Create/Catnip config files. |
| Cooldown | Default cooldown is 10 ticks. |
| Sound | Plays the vanilla Minecraft Wind Charge burst sound for nearby players. |
| Fall safety | Prevents fall damage after an Airburst when the landing velocity is low enough. |
