Create: Linear Bearing — True Physics-Based Sliders!

Hey everyone! If you are playing with Create Aeronautics, you already know how awesome it is to build moving vehicles and airships. But there was always one missing piece: a reliable way to make stable, physics-based linear sliders, cranes, and elevators that hook directly into the world physics.

Create: Linear Bearing solves this perfectly for NeoForge 1.21.1. It allows you to transform any glued block structure into a fully physics-driven sliding mechanism using the power of the Sable engine!

⚙️ What does this mod do?

This mod adds two core components: the Linear Bearing and its track, the Linear Casing. Together, they allow you to create real physics-based joints that snap seamlessly into your builds.

Smart Multi-Block Assembly: Build your rail out of Linear Casings, place the bearing, and build any structure on top. Use Create's Super Glue or vanilla Honey Blocks to secure it, then right-click the bearing with an empty hand.

True Physics Sub-Levels: The mod automatically scans your glued structure, calculates its center of mass, and instantly converts it into a true physical Sable sub-level object.

Pixel-Perfect Spawning: The technical carriage model spawns flawlessly inside the C-shaped groove of the rail channel. No weird gaps, no clipping, and no ghost blocks left behind. It behaves like a built-in feature of the base Create mod.

Works with empty space: Just want a standalone hovering rail joint? Right-click an empty bearing, and a single physical carriage block will immediately spawn and break free into physics space on its own.

Immersive Audio: The assembly process triggers original heavy industrial clanking sound effects (simulated:block.physics_assembler.assemble) right at the center of the block.

🛠️ Requirements

1. Create
2. Create Aeronautics
3. Sable

💬 Future Plans

Right now, the assembled carriage acts as a completely free-moving physical joint. I am currently working on implementing axis-locking mechanics to restrict the slider movement entirely along the rail path, as well as a disassembly system to safely snap the flying physical grids back into regular world blocks. Have fun building your advanced elevators and cranes! Let me know what you think or if you catch any bugs in the comments! 🦾🚀

What does this mod do?

Blocks:

• Linear Bearing

  A linear bearing is something like an swivel bearing from Aeronautics, when pressed, it gathers the structure above it and transforms itself into a sliding structure on the casing.

• Linear Casing

  Well, it's just a case for linear bearings.

• Torsional Anchor

  A torsional anchor is a block with a cogwheel that transmits rotation through springs. You just put it on and put a spring on its "head" and the other end of the spring on the other anchor and they both rotate.

• Magnetic Port

  A magnetic port is a device that transmits rotation over a distance, and it works the same way in Sable physical structures.

• Andesite Lamp

  The andesite lamp shines depending on the strength of the redstone signal

• Redstone Converter

  The redstone converter converts the rotation speed to redstone, more specifically, one redstone signal level is added every 8 RPM.

• Gyroscopic Gearbox

  The gyroscopic gearbox aligns the mechanisms connected to it by rotating in opposition to the rotation of the Sable sub-level on which it is located.

• Slippery Copycat

  It's just a slippery copycat.

• Bubble Gum Block

  This block is quite sticky.
