Create Aeronautics : Easy Assembly (CAEA)

A lightweight add-on for Create Aeronautics that adds a versatile Chisel for assembling and disassembling physics structures.

✨ What does this mod do?

This mod adds a single, powerful tool: the Chisel. It functions as a portable physical assembler — turning any block structure into a physics entity, or breaking it back down, with just a click.

🛠️ The Chisel – Two Modes, One Tool

• Survival Mode: Hold left-click for 1 second (20 ticks) to assemble — prevents accidental triggers.
• Creative Mode: Single-click assembly for fast iteration.

The Chisel has 64 durability. Both left-click and right-click consume 1 durability per use. It also accepts the same enchantments as the vanilla Brush — Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing — applied via anvil.

🤖 Deployer Support

Place a Chisel in a Deployer and it will automatically assemble/disassemble structures in your contraptions.

• Attack Mode: Assembles
• Use Mode: Disassembles

⌨️ Admin Commands (OP Level 2)

• /caea assemble <x> <y> <z> [dimension] — Assemble at a specific position
• /caea disassemble <x> <y> <z> [dimension] — Disassemble at a specific position
• /caea disassemble all — Disassemble all loaded physics structures in the current dimension
• /caea delete <x> <y> <z> [dimension] — Delete a physics structure without returning blocks
• /caea delete all — Delete all loaded physics structures in the current dimension

⚠️ disassemble all and delete all only affect loaded structures. Unloaded structures are not processed.

⚙️ Configuration

The mod exposes a common config file (config/create_aeronautics_easy_assembly-common.toml):

• chiselDisassemblySpeedCheck (default: true) — If enabled, the Chisel cannot disassemble structures that are moving too fast. Disable this to clean up stuck vehicles, at the risk of physics engine instability.

🎯 Why download this mod?

• Save time: No more long commands or complex tools — one Chisel does it all.
• Automate: Use Deployers to handle assembly/disassembly in your factories.
• Lightweight: Adds just one item — no bloat, no performance impact.

📦 Dependencies

This mod requires the following to run:

💡 Create Aeronautics typically bundles the Simulated module, so you don't need to download it separately.

💡 It might work on earlier versions, but we haven't tested it.
