Scorched Guns Exosuit Armor Expansion

Scorched Guns Exosuit Expansion

Material armor plates, pauldrons and an equipment interface for players building around Create and Scorched Guns 2. This standalone addon brings the exosuit workbench and focused fixes from Steam & Steel into a smaller setup, with simpler crafting recipes.

Features

• Six armor plates and six pauldrons: C iron composite, B Diamond Steel and A netherite composite, each with standard and heavy variants.
• Modules / Keys workbench: select worn or carried equipment, install and remove native modules, inspect their effects and edit SC2 key bindings.
• Material-specific item visuals and exosuit plating, with English and Russian interface text and tooltips.
• Plate wear after completed hits, persistent module damage and enchantments, fresh module data after edits, bounded energy transfers and per-player exosuit updates.
• Adapted server flight-permission handling, respawn power cooldown handling and gas-mask energy use for the targeted SC2 implementations.

Actual in-game interface

Material plating on the native exosuit

These are actual Minecraft screenshots, resized to fit CurseForge's description image limits, captured in a separate Minecraft 1.21.1 local test world with ELMO_SYG SC2 1.0.9.2 and Create 6.0.10. The suit shown has Diamond Steel plates and pauldrons; the screenshot shows its appearance, rather than powered-flight testing.

Usage and recipes

Open the armor button in the normal inventory or Curios screen, or sneak-use an ExoSuit item. Select a piece of equipment and move modules through the workbench slots. The Keys tab uses SC2's existing key mappings.

All addon recipes use the ordinary crafting grid:

The native SC2 exosuit and module recipes remain available. Plates also fit the leggings' plating-compatible knee slot. Heavy plates trade movement speed for stronger protection. Repair materials are Iron Ingots for C, Diamond Steel Ingots for B and Netherite Ingots for A.

Compatibility

Choose the addon file and dependencies for your Minecraft version. Use matching versions on clients and servers for multiplayer.

The 1.21.1 dependency is Scorched Guns 2 0.5.5 — Unofficial Port, by ELMO_SYG, exact file scguns-1.0.9.2.jar / 9418104. The separate 1.20.1 port requires original Scorched Guns 0.5.5 / 7232063.

The two addon JARs target different Minecraft/SC2 implementations and cannot be interchanged. The older sadeast NeoForged 1.5 port, other SC2 forks, Fabric and unlisted dependencies are not claimed compatible. Not every intermediate or future NeoForge build was individually tested. Simultaneous SteamSteelCore, the old Equipment Workbench UI or Exosuit Armor Plates remain unverified.

From Steam & Steel

The addon originated in Steam & Steel SMP, our custom Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge server modpack. It is available independently of the full modpack. SteamSteelCore and TFMG are not required. The simplified material progression is specific to this standalone edition.

Scorched Guns 2 is by Ribs498 and its contributors, with MrCrayfish's underlying gun-mod work credited upstream. The 1.21.1 unofficial NeoForge port is by ELMO_SYG; the earlier Steam & Steel integrations used sadeast's NeoForge port. Pinned port source.

The 1.20.1 build targets Ribs498's original SC2 source.

Create is by simibubi and the Create team. The interface references the separately installed Create assets. SC2 silhouettes and textures are read from the installed SC2 mod for material rendering. Minecraft is by Mojang/Microsoft. Screenshots were captured by DanielBasov in Minecraft; depicted third-party content retains its original rights.

The project logo is an illustrative pixel-art fan of the six material armor plates, prepared for Steam & Steel with AI-assisted artwork and the V3 icon pipeline. Actual in-game item and armor appearance is shown in the screenshots above.

This is an independent community addon.

Release / Feedback

Minecraft 1.21.1 passed 44 in-game checks on each of NeoForge 21.1.219, 21.1.235 and 21.1.265, including all 12 addon recipes and upgrade definitions, native C-plate crafting, module persistence, completed-hit plate removal, energy bounds and English/Russian captures.

The separate 1.20.1 package passed 61 checks on each of NeoForge 47.1.106 and Forge 47.4.0. The final JAR was tested through the development toolchain's SRG-to-named dependency remapper with source mod output excluded. Checks cover the real menu network packet, native crafting, canceled hits without wear, Protection/Thorns/Unbreaking on modules, exact XP repair of a saved module, knee-slot armor and mutable-NBT material changes. This is an isolated integrated-client/server and artifact-roundtrip result, rather than a separate public-launcher install or dedicated multiplayer acceptance test.

These checks do not establish full multiplayer compatibility or complete manual acceptance of flight, gas-mask exposure and every enchantment interaction. Experience with the original Steam & Steel modules is separate from testing this new standalone port.

If you encounter a crash, an error or unexpected behaviour, please leave a comment with your Minecraft, loader, Create, SC2 and addon versions, plus steps to reproduce the problem. We will investigate reported bugs and work on fixes.
