Wings

(This chapter discusses wing and flap blocks)

How to create a wing block

Create a class that extends Minecraft's Block class and implements org.valkyrienskies.mod.common.block.WingBlock.

The WingBlock interface:

package org.valkyrienskies.mod.common.block

import net.minecraft.core.BlockPos
import net.minecraft.world.level.Level
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.state.BlockState
import org.valkyrienskies.core.api.ships.Wing

interface WingBlock {
    fun getWing(level: Level?, pos: BlockPos?, blockState: BlockState): Wing?
}

The getWing method gets called every tick. This means that you can easily make dynamic wings.

The Wing class:

package org.valkyrienskies.core.api.ships

import org.joml.Vector3dc

data class Wing(
    val wingNormal: Vector3dc,
    val wingLiftPower: Double,
    val wingDragPower: Double,

    /**
    * The maximum force the wing can withstand. Null is infinite.
    */
    val wingBreakingForce: Double?,

    /**
    * Angle of airfoil bias in radians, typically zero for symmetric airfoils, and non-zero for cambered airfoils
    * Note that positive values will make lift in the direction of [wingNormal] at 0 angle of attack
    */
    val wingCamberAttackAngleBias: Double
)

Flaps vs Wings

Flaps are identical to Wings but have a wingCamberAttackAngleBias of zero.

Example Values

lift drag camber attach angle bias breaking force
VS2 debug wing 150 30 10° inf
VS2 debug flap 150 30 0° inf
Clockwork wing 150 150 10° 10
Clockwork flap 150 150 0° 10
