Primal Aether Surge FAQ

Craft or obtain a PhysicsGun, Magnetizer, ChainCreator, or Launcher from your mod's creative inventory or crafting recipes. Hold the tool in your main hand, then press TAB to open its settings menu where you can adjust strength, range, and interaction modes before using it.

Check that the object is actually a physics-enabled block or entity—regular Minecraft blocks won't respond unless converted. Verify your tool's strength slider is turned up in the settings menu (TAB), and make sure you're close enough to the object (tool range matters).

Use the PhysicsGun to grab a block and lift it, or use the /vxsummon command to spawn physics-enabled boxes and objects. Once they're physics bodies, they'll fall and collide realistically with the ground and other objects around them.

Yes—spawn a car or motorcycle using /vxsummon velthoric:car ~ ~ ~ (or similar vehicle command). Press F3 + B to see hitboxes and locate the driver seat, then right-click to enter and drive with standard movement controls.

Use the ChainCreator tool to link multiple physics objects or tether them to the ground. Hold the tool, adjust its settings via TAB, then interact with objects in sequence to create chains between them.

Yes—physics objects are saved directly with your world data, so they'll stay in place exactly where you left them after server restarts or reloading the world.

Physics-enabled objects automatically respond to buoyancy based on their weight and shape—heavier or denser objects sink while lighter ones float. This works in both water and lava without any special setup.

Mobs with physics enabled will ragdoll realistically when defeated, with their skeletal bodies responding to gravity and colliding with terrain instead of just disappearing or dropping loot in place.

Use the /vxtest command to spawn pre-built test setups like soft bodies, chain grids, and other physics demonstrations for quick experimentation and learning.

Physics calculations can impact performance depending on how many active physics objects you have—use /vxkill to remove nearby physics objects or clear specific types if you experience lag or instability.
