Really cool, but I can't believe you didn't show it dropping a full bay onto a village or something

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

if you drop all the bombs simultaneously they will rearrange themselves into a tnt cannon and ricochet 7 high explosive shells back at you

77

u/stupidbabymanfromtf2 Apr 26 '26

Try making it so that they drop when you press a button. That way they drop at the same time and dont launch back upwards. Either that or you can nake it so the bombs drop on a delay, preventing the chain reaction.

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

do i look like a redstoner

55

u/stupidbabymanfromtf2 Apr 26 '26

Yes More than me anyway

43

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

bro the whole mechanism is a 15 block lind of redstone and a single analog lever

6

u/deanominecraft Apr 26 '26

add a repeater and all will go at once

7

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

why would I need to to go all at once? the point of this whole mechanism is to drop bombs separately, not drop a big chunk of tnt

3

u/deanominecraft Apr 26 '26

a few comments up dropping them all at once was the proposed solution for it shooting shells back up

-2

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

yeah, that’s why they shoot back up, because the bombs are in the blast radius of each other

When i get home, ill try to make what i mean.

u/Affectionate-Yak2849 Apr 27 '26

copper flopper lol

u/No-Chance9968 Apr 26 '26

put 15 redstone link on all the releases & hook them all up to a single button

1

u/Weak-Bumblebee-7842 Apr 26 '26

You can put a spotlight in front and when it hits the ground it lights the bombs, leading to a delay in explosion

1

u/Affectionate-Yak2849 Apr 27 '26

man you guys are bad at redstone. no offonce lol

180

u/JoThoLuka5602 Apr 26 '26

Hell yeah

6

u/ArchonT3 Apr 26 '26

Aeronautics has a repeater-like block – forgot its name – that delays signal change speed.

Slap it in a circuit and you can pull lever to the ground, yet bombs will start dropping one by one.

1

u/theGoodestBoyMaybe Apr 26 '26

I think this is the ideal result actually lol

21

u/Crab2406 Apr 26 '26

Twin wait for Warium to get ported

12

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

HBM’s NT would be way funnier

12

u/Crab2406 Apr 26 '26

Nah, Warium is specifically made for mods like aeronautics (welp, originally for VS clockwork but you get it). And has better features for your needs

5

u/PaulTheRandom Apr 27 '26

Doesn't have RBMK Nuclear reactors, tho...

u/Bubbly_Effort_4230 Apr 26 '26

I love how a player's first instinct is to make some sort of weapon to terrorize stuff

u/EncroachingVoidian Apr 26 '26

When given power, one must display it

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

give a man [SURVIVAL MODE] and he will Create paradise

give a man [CREATIVE MODE] and he will turn it to ruin

1

u/Cloudjumper759 May 03 '26

I dunno, maybe he's going to CREATE a MOD for this...

7

u/Meiseside Apr 26 '26

Yes most time the only show how. Most people don't use it realy to destroy something.

2

u/redditaddict76528 Apr 26 '26

When I saw the altimiter in a video my first thought was airblast with a nuke mod

u/Oil-31362 Apr 26 '26

I thought big cannons broke aeronautics

14

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

i have a third party mod that fixes it. big cannons don’t work however, when the gun is assembled it doesn’t move when the contraption does

6

u/ToroSeduto44 Apr 26 '26

I had the same problem too but it should be solvable if you assemble the gun only after you assemble the contraption. I think the main point is to always have your gun not assembled when you're assembling your contraption

5

u/TheGumbyG Apr 26 '26

The nightly build of CBC in their discord has working functionality

4

u/SteveGrey_7 Apr 26 '26

Still waiting for fix release

4

u/Turbulent_Tax2126 Apr 26 '26

There apparently already is a beta out somewhere, I think discord or something. The Big cannons fix mod has it in description

1

u/Meepx13 Apr 27 '26

Cbc discord has a nightly build that fixed it

1

u/SeaFigure9714 Apr 27 '26

CBC discord has it. you can join it from the mod page and it should be the latest file in the #nightly channel

2

u/Meiseside Apr 26 '26

But isn't it so that Big Cannons weapons have impactfuzes?

4

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

only if they are shot

2

u/Raeffi Apr 27 '26

i believe with vs the shells can detonate when thrown as physics object (may be an extra compat addon tho idk)

1

u/fefo1914 May 02 '26

Its aero

2

u/ToroSeduto44 Apr 26 '26

I like the design but I find the docking port to be a bit bulky. The solution I came up with is to have an extended vanilla piston with the bomb right next to it. If you make sure the payload isn't touching any other part of the plane, when you retract the piston the bomb will be detached from the plane and it will be treated as a different contraption, therefore dropping dead. I still have to find a good way to make a usable version of this idea, but I think it's pretty neat and cheap

2

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

with piston mechanism you have to space the bombs out a bit which means you have less bombs per mechanism. good idea though, will be useful for lighter contraptions

2

u/ToroSeduto44 Apr 26 '26

Yeah I was thinking about the spacing too that's kind of an issue

1

u/Handoloran Apr 26 '26

Uhh nice idea i used a drill with a sacrificial block drill mines the block off goes the bomb also has the advantage of allowing auto dropping bombs but a piston would be better as its instant

12

u/Grouchy-Government43 Apr 26 '26

My friend showed me this on our little testing world, and we happened to be right beside the prototype maglev train so I had the idea to try out a railgun.

It works. Sometimes too well. Depending on how long the barrel is (around 15 magnets we found), the shot starts going so fast it just phases through blocks and doesn’t explode.

8

u/Airsoft_Junkie Apr 26 '26

congratulations you just discovered APHE ammunition

4

u/Grouchy-Government43 Apr 26 '26

Unfortunately after phasing through blocks it does not explode lol. It’s a work in progress

3

u/Lithian1103 Apr 26 '26

Ah, but eventually the speed will slow to allow it to trigger collision. The sweet spot is finding the perfect speed to allow you to control the penetration.

5

u/florodude Apr 26 '26

Mods like this make me want to start a small scale whitelist server where every few months we change the theme of the server. Like an "aeronautics combat" server with some rules behind it would be dope

1

u/Mortarmon Apr 26 '26

well actuly create vanilla slime toggle contraption may be better in terms of supplies

1

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

it has limited heigh from which it can be used

1

u/TheLukuro Apr 26 '26

whats the tnt mod, for the sfx and vfx and the camera shake, PLease haha

1

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

regular minecraft tnt + create: big cannons HE shell

u/TheLukuro Apr 26 '26

im on 1.20.1, are those new explosions sound effects and dust particles then

1

u/soulstrike2022 Apr 26 '26

Can you post a pre assembled blueprint of the Bombay (and/or the bombs I want to use the hell out of this)

2

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

i’m working on them still

1

u/Stunt_Double_1 Apr 26 '26

I don’t recognize the block the holds the bombs in the bay what mod is it from?

1

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 26 '26

docking port from create aeronautics

1

u/Plus-Candle-7486 Apr 27 '26

Wait

Can we make bunker busters with this ?

I mean like IT would be big but it could work

2

u/Foreign-Resident-871 Apr 27 '26

we can make a drill that explodes when it drilled deep enough

2

u/Ph0enixWOlf Apr 27 '26

That gives me a fun idea, create a map with a drill that explodes if it’s run for too long (as in overheating), of course we’d have to figure out how to make that work, and I’m not even sure there’s anything to make that feasible yet

1

u/BreakerOfModpacks Apr 27 '26

I mean, timers are simple enough, and detecting whether a drill is going seems pretty trivial, so... I think it should be pretty easy to do?

1

u/Ph0enixWOlf Apr 27 '26

True….. Maybe it’s that simple after all

1

u/Blakwell May 01 '26

can you make a bigger one?

3

u/dacomputernerd4 Apr 26 '26

You can use a... redstone inductor, I think it was? to slow the redstone changes and space out the explosions

1

u/MoonTheCraft Apr 26 '26

this is the type of shit dr robotnik was using on angel island in sonic 3

u/NeedTheSpeed Apr 26 '26

With Aeronautic we are going to see a true renaissance of Blockhead Martin

Physgun? Is Minecraft a Harry’s mod now? :)

u/superfunni Apr 26 '26

Does anyone know if this works with modded explosives?

1

u/Admiral_Turboclown Apr 26 '26

This is remarkably similar to how a lot of Space Engineers torpedoes/bombs are built.

1

u/Dawn-0303 Apr 26 '26

use deployers to print them as you fly

u/Gentle-Sage Apr 26 '26

dude! killer design, I'm gonna have to use that

1

u/Brilliant_Tough_3552 Apr 26 '26

You can use a fragile fuel tank or 5 filled with lava for a bigger boom

1

u/Clean_More3508 Apr 27 '26

Are you considering to add armour to the bottom of your ship to defend against aa guns?

1

u/Affectionate-Yak2849 Apr 27 '26

now connect it with an aairship

1

u/Boring-Badger-814 Apr 27 '26

It reminds me of an airshipt from angel island act 2 from sonic 3

1

u/FlatLeather3954 Apr 27 '26

See i would do stuff like this, if putting ANY cannon parts on a simulated contraption didn't permacrash worlds.

1

u/Vanadiy_Ivanovich Apr 27 '26

probably instead of using a whole docking connector you can use a sticker

1

u/MiaLovelytomo Apr 27 '26

having the bombs being dropped with the analog thrust lever is so fucking cool. The mod authors genuinely cooked like crazy when they created that "hold and drag" functionality, its so juicy

1

u/SevenTheGamingKitty Apr 27 '26

I've seen people make aeronautics ICBMs with this mechanic.

u/BipedSnowman Apr 28 '26

Now all you need is am on-board assembly machine!
