How to Assemble and Propel a Physics Craft

Converting Blocks into a Physical Contraption

To build a moving physics vehicle, start by laying out your vehicle frame and components using regular blocks. Once your structure is shaped, place a Physics Assembler directly adjacent to your vehicle blocks. Engaging the Physics Assembler transforms the standard block structure into an active physical craft compatible with aerodynamic and physics-based motion.

Mounting and Powering Thrusters

To propel your craft, install Thrusters onto the vehicle body. Thrusters produce force that pushes the vehicle, so always orient them facing the opposite direction of your intended travel path.

Control your thrusters using redstone signals. Hooking redstone lines to a Thruster allows you to modulate its thrust output and regulate the craft's forward or maneuvering speed. You can also inspect the status and efficiency of each thruster block to ensure it is performing optimally. For sustained propulsion, feed compatible fuels into the thrusters using supported addon mods such as Create Diesel Generators or The Factory Must Grow.
