Activate Levitation Only When Needed with Redstone Levitite
Why Use
Redstone Levitite
Standard levitite floats constantly, which wastes energy and makes altitude control difficult. Redstone Levitite activates floatation only when receiving a redstone signal, giving you precise control over when your airship rises or holds altitude.
Crafting Redstone Levitite
1. Obtain levitite blend (standard Create material).
2. Use a redstone torch on the levitite blend to convert it directly into Redstone Levitite blocks.
3. Place the blocks in your airship's hull or frame where you want controlled floatation.
Control Strategy
All touching Redstone Levitite blocks activate together when a single redstone signal reaches any of them. This means:
- Group levitite blocks by function (front lift, rear lift, ballast) and wire each group separately for independent altitude control.
- Connect each group to a wireless receiver tuned to different frequencies.
- Send signals to raise specific sections, enabling pitch and roll adjustments.
This approach transforms your airship from a simple floating platform into a maneuverable aircraft.
