Historical Anti Air

✈️ Anti-Air System

A lightweight anti-aircraft system for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, designed to extend vanilla combat mechanics with simple aircraft targeting features.

Overview

Anti-Air System introduces basic anti-air functionality into Minecraft without adding unnecessary complexity.

The mod enhances existing mechanics (like crossbows) and adds a deployable Flak 38 to allow players to interact with airborne targets in a more dynamic way.

It is built with a focus on:

• Simplicity
• Mod compatibility
• Server-side usability

Features

• Crossbows fire modified projectiles when aircraft are nearby
• Arrows gain:

• Increased speed
• Limited tracking capability
• Designed to remain close to vanilla behavior

Projectile System

• Custom handling for anti-air arrows
• Mid-flight aircraft tracking
• Particle effects during flight
• Impact feedback when hitting valid targets

Flak 38

• Deployable anti-aircraft entity
• Manual aiming and firing
• Includes:

• Ammunition system
• Basic repair functionality

Aircraft Detection

• Centralized detection system for nearby aircraft
• Used across:

• Crossbow logic
• Projectile tracking

Design Goals

• Keep the mod lightweight and efficient
• Avoid replacing core vanilla systems
• Provide a minimal but functional anti-air solution
• Ensure compatibility with other mods

Compatibility

• Minecraft Forge 1.20.1
• Intended for use with aircraft-based mods (e.g. Immersive Aircraft)

Notes

This mod does not aim to be a full military simulation.
Instead, it provides a simple and extendable foundation for anti-air mechanics in modded Minecraft.
