Create Aeronautics: Ship Addon

# Aeronautics Valoris

> ⚠️ **Private mod.** This addon was made exclusively for the **Valoris** Minecraft server. It is published here only so our players can download it easily. It is not meant for general use, and no support is provided outside the server.

**Aeronautics Valoris** is a naval addon for **Create Aeronautics** running on the **Sable** physics engine. It turns physics ships into proper sailing vessels: real wind, sails that catch it, a working rudder, an anchor and stable handling inspired by *Sea of Thieves*.

## 🌬️ Dynamic Wind
– One global wind per dimension that **shifts direction every 15 minutes** and turns gradually toward its new heading.
– Rain and thunderstorms make the wind stronger.
– **Visible wind trails**: soft white ribbons that drift, wave and sometimes curl into loops around the sails of nearby ships.
– `/wind` shows the current wind. Operators can use `/wind set <bearing> [strength]` and `/wind random`.

## ⛵ Sail Propulsion
– Every sail on a ship (regular Create sails and **Symmetric Sails**) produces thrust. Small per sail, it scales with how many you have.
– Works for sails placed directly on the ship **and** for sails on mechanical bearings mounted on the ship.
– **Wind angle matters**: wind at the back of a sail gives up to ×2.5 thrust, while sailing into the wind gives very little.
– **Yards on bearings, SoT-style**: rotate the sail bearing to catch the wind. The ship keeps moving forward, and the bearing angle only changes how much wind you catch.
– **Symmetric Sails get a front and a back.** When placed, the front faces the direction you are looking, and you can flip it with a Wrench on the flat side.
– Look at a sail to see a golden arrow marking its front, plus the current wind multiplier.
– Rotated sails no longer tip the ship over.

## 🧭 Rudder
– A new **Rudder** block, kinetically powered by Create.
– Connect a shaft from the top to the **Steering Wheel** from Create Simulated. A full turn of the wheel equals full rudder deflection (±45°).
– The blade visibly turns with the wheel.
– Turn rate grows with speed, and so does the turning circle: faster ships turn harder but make wider circles.
– Works only in water and starts responding even at low speed.
– Tap it with a Wrench to recenter the blade.

## ⚓ Anchor Winch
– A deck-mounted **winch with a cathead**. The anchor drops over the side you were facing when you placed it.
– **Right-click to drop** the anchor. It descends on a visible rope and follows the ship until it hits the seabed.
– Once on the bottom, it **holds the ship completely in place**: no drifting from wind or sails.
– **Right-click again to raise it.** Hauling time depends on how deep the anchor went.
– Custom models for the winch, the anchor and the rope.

## 🛟 Ship Stability
– Ships with sails or a rudder are **self-righting**, as if they had heavy ballast. They can take sharp turns without capsizing or nosediving.
– A **keel** keeps the ship moving where the bow points instead of sliding sideways through turns.
– Small wave rocking is kept, so the sea still feels alive.
