Description

[H2] Features

undefined

[•]
Warp Drive — insert a Warp Crystal (or Memory Card), register the drive's
current location, pick a saved destination, and warp the entire physicalized
structure it's attached to — including across dimensions. The console screen
shows live info (FE, countdown, coordinates, or the selected point's name —
configurable).

undefined

Warp Crystal — the data core. Only a Warp Crystal can actually trigger a
warp.

undefined

Memory Card — a cheaper way to record locations without a trip to the Moon.
Registers and stores points just like a Warp Crystal, but can't trigger a
warp on its own — copy its points onto a Warp Crystal with a Crystal Driver
first. Storage capacity is configurable.

undefined

Crystal Driver — copy a saved location from one Warp Crystal or Memory Card
onto another, or delete one you no longer need.

undefined

Moon Crystal — a new resource found only in Cosmonautics' Moon dimension.
Mine the ore, then refine it with Create's Sand Paper.

undefined

Hyperspace jump effect — a short charge-up before each warp, with a
screen-distortion effect (visible only to players actually riding the ship)
and a converging particle effect (visible to everyone nearby).

undefined

Fully configurable: FE cost per warp, charge-up time, particle count,
console display mode, and Memory Card capacity.

[H2] How to use it

undefined

[•]
Mine Moon Crystal Ore on the Moon (diamond pickaxe required) for Raw Moon
Crystal.

undefined

Refine it into a Moon Crystal with Create's Sand Paper.

undefined

Craft a Warp Crystal — or a cheaper Memory Card if you don't want to make
the trip yet — then a Warp Drive, and install the drive on a
Sable-physicalized structure (e.g. a Create airship).

undefined

Insert the crystal/card and press Register Here to save that location.

undefined

Fly elsewhere, register another location on the same (or a different)
crystal/card — rename entries from the Warp Drive's GUI to keep track of
them.

undefined

Select a destination and press Warp. The drive spends FE, plays a short
hyperspace sequence, and moves the whole structure there. (Using a Memory
Card? Copy its points onto a Warp Crystal with a Crystal Driver first — Warp
only works from a Warp Crystal.)
[/•]

undefined

Use a Crystal Driver to duplicate a saved location across crystals/cards, or
to delete one.

undefined

[H2] Requirements

undefined

[•]
NeoForge for **1.21.1**

undefined

undefined

Create Cosmonautics — link this to: https://cosmonauticsteam.github.io/
— provides the Moon dimension, Titanium items, and the Dimensional Sable
support this mod's cross-dimension warp relies on

undefined

Sable — link this to: https://modrinth.com/mod/sable

undefined

Dimensional Sable — link this to: https://modrinth.com/mod/dimensional-sable
— usually already present via Create Cosmonautics' own bundled copy
[/•]

undefined

Note (consider italicizing): This mod does not generate FE on its own —
bring your own power source (Create generators, or any other FE-producing
mod).

undefined

[H2] Configuration

undefined

(CurseForge's editor has a table tool — use it for a 3-column table:
Option / Default / Description. Otherwise, a bullet list works fine too.)

undefined

[•]
warpCostFE — 8,000,000 — FE consumed per Warp Drive activation

undefined

warpChargeTicks — 60 (3s) — Delay between pressing Warp and the actual jump

undefined

warpParticleCount — 32 — Particles spawned around the ship while charging

undefined

warpDriveDisplayMode — FE — What the console screen shows: FE, COUNTDOWN,
COORDINATES, or POINT_NAME

undefined

memoryCardCapacity — 5 — How many saved locations a Memory Card can hold
(1–10)
[/•]

undefined

[H2] A note on development

undefined

Large parts of this mod's code were written with the help of AI (Claude).
Design decisions, testing, and final calls are mine, but I wanted to be
upfront about the tooling used.

Cosmonautics: Warp Drive

Warp your Sable-physicalized ships and stations to any recorded location — in any dimension — using stored electrical power.

An addon for the Create + Cosmonautics ecosystem, built on Sable's physics/sub-level system.

✨ Features

  • Warp Drive — insert a Warp Crystal (or Memory Card), register the drive's current location, pick a saved destination, and warp the entire physicalized structure it's attached to — including across dimensions. The console screen shows live info (FE, countdown, coordinates, or the selected point's name — configurable).
  • Warp Crystal — the data core. Only a Warp Crystal can actually trigger a warp.
  • Memory Card — a cheaper way to record locations without a trip to the Moon. Registers and stores points just like a Warp Crystal, but can't trigger a warp on its own — copy its points onto a Warp Crystal with a Crystal Driver first. Storage capacity is configurable.
  • Crystal Driver — copy a saved location from one Warp Crystal or Memory Card onto another, or delete one you no longer need.
  • Moon Crystal — a new resource found only in Cosmonautics' Moon dimension. Mine the ore, then refine it with Create's Sand Paper.
  • Hyperspace jump effect — a short charge-up before each warp, with a screen-distortion effect (visible only to players actually riding the ship) and a converging particle effect (visible to everyone nearby).
  • Fully configurable: FE cost per warp, charge-up time, particle count, console display mode, and Memory Card capacity.
  • CC: Tweaked support — the Warp Drive works as a peripheral, so computers can read its status and drive it from Lua. Optional; the mod works fine without CC: Tweaked installed.

🚀 How to use it

  1. Mine Moon Crystal Ore on the Moon (diamond pickaxe required) for Raw Moon Crystal.
  2. Refine it into a Moon Crystal with Create's Sand Paper.
  3. Craft a Warp Crystal — or a cheaper Memory Card if you don't want to make the trip yet — then a Warp Drive, and install the drive on a Sable-physicalized structure (e.g. a Create airship).
  4. Insert the crystal/card and press Register Here to save that location.
  5. Fly elsewhere, register another location on the same (or a different) crystal/card — rename entries from the Warp Drive's GUI to keep track of them.
  6. Select a destination and press Warp. The drive spends FE, plays a short hyperspace sequence, and moves the whole structure there. (Using a Memory Card? Copy its points onto a Warp Crystal with a Crystal Driver first — Warp only works from a Warp Crystal.)

Use a Crystal Driver to duplicate a saved location across crystals/cards, or to delete one.

📦 Requirements

  • NeoForge for 1.21.1
  • Create
  • Create Cosmonautics — provides the Moon dimension, Titanium items, and the Dimensional Sable support this mod's cross-dimension warp relies on
  • Sable
  • Dimensional Sable — usually already present via Create Cosmonautics' own bundled copy

This mod does not generate FE on its own — bring your own power source (Create generators, or any other FE-producing mod). Optional:

  • CC: Tweaked — enables the Warp Drive's computer peripheral.

With CC: Tweaked installed, a Warp Drive can be used as a peripheral of type warp_drive — attach a computer directly or over a wired modem.

Available methods: getEnergy, getEnergyCapacity, getWarpCost, hasCrystal, getWarpPoints, getSelectedPoint, selectPoint, registerHere, renamePoint, warp, isCharging, getChargeSeconds.

warp() begins the charge-up rather than jumping instantly, exactly like pressing Warp in the GUI, and returns either true or false plus a reason string.

Two example programs are included in the GitHub repository: warp.lua prints the drive's status and warps to a chosen point, and warp_monitor.lua draws a touch-controlled interface on an Advanced Monitor. Both are starting points to edit rather than finished programs — the peripheral deliberately exposes data and controls only, so the interface is yours to design.

Full method reference is in the README on GitHub.
