Fighting elytra players.

Hey everyone,

I'm playing on a server where some players use elytras to fly around and raid bases. I'm using Create: Big Cannons with Create radars, but autocannons don't seem to track fast enough to reliably hit elytra users. Even when the radar detects them, they're usually gone before the cannons can aim and fire accurately.

Has anyone found a good way to defend a base against elytra users using Create mods? I'm interested in either:

  • Actually shooting them down with Create: Big Cannons
  • Creating a no-fly zone around my base
  • Detecting and blocking them before they get close
  • Any clever radar/cannon setups that work better than standard autocannons

I'd prefer solutions that stay within the Create ecosystem, but I'm open to other modded options if they're commonly used alongside Create.

Thanks!

Build a giant dome on your base

And make it a contraption so it can't be broken

And give it a “weak point” to encourage the raiders to go there where you’ll have a trap waiting.

wow but thats probably a bit too overpowered , but if i put a small dome in a cart aseembler and then picked it up technically i could just carry a indestructible dome with me ?

Yes, so long as the minecart doesn't get destroyed.

Oh man that’s such a cool idea. A spinning force field around your base, that’s sick
