CBC: Firepower Components 0.3.2

• Added mount/control compatibility data for more addon cannon types, including CBC: Advanced Technologies, CBC: Military Supplement / cbcmoreshells, and CBC Modern Warfare-style cannon families.
• Added support data for heavy autocannons, twin autocannons, manual twin autocannons, rocket pods, medium rocket pods, dual cannons, projectile racks, torpedo tubes, medium cannons, mounted launchers, and rotary cannons where their mounted contraption data is available.
• Added the Large Autocannon Ammo Box, with 64 normal rounds + 64 tracer rounds capacity.
• Improved large autocannon ammo box handling, menu behavior, item validation, and compatibility with CBC's ammo container system.
• Improved mounted weapon item input through a shared strategy layer, so compact mounts can route inserted items more safely to mounted weapons.
• Improved mechanical arm and item-handler insertion behavior for compact cannon mounts.
• Added an initial compatibility layer for Create: Radars on NeoForge 1.21.1.
• Compact cannon mounts can now be selected by the Create: Radars data link.
• Added adapter logic for radar yaw and pitch controllers to drive compact cannon mounts without inheriting from vanilla CBC cannon mounts.
• Added development groundwork for broader heavy, twin, rocket, and addon weapon compatibility.

Notes:

• Create: Radars compatibility is an early implementation. Please report issues with automatic aiming, firing, or controller setups.
• Addon weapon compatibility currently focuses on mounting/control and safe item routing. Some special launcher or addon ammunition systems may still need dedicated support.

CBC: Firepower Components 0.2.0

This update adds the Cannon Limiter and improves cannon magazine loading for fuzed projectiles.

The current release includes:

• Cannon Limiter - a configurable item for installing pitch and yaw limits on compact mounts.
• Cannon Limiter configuration screen with toggles, sliders, and angle input fields.
• Installed limiter data is saved on compact mounts and shown in goggle tooltips.
• Compact mounts now clamp mechanical rotation against saved pitch and yaw limits.
• Cannon Magazine Loader now accepts fuzes and applies them to stored fuzed projectiles before loading.
• Fuzed projectiles will wait for a fuze before the loader treats that round as ready.
• Fixed compact cannon mount reassembly compatibility with newer Create Big Cannons / Aeronautics / Simulated setups.
• Updated the NeoForge 1.21.1 target to Create Big Cannons 5.11.6.
• Updated README, Modrinth description, and usage guides for the new limiter and fuze-loading workflow.

Required dependencies:

• Create
• Create Big Cannons
• Ritchie's Projectile Library

This update adds survival recipes and clearer usage documentation for the current blocks.

The current release includes:

• Survival recipes - added crafting recipes for the Compact Cannon Mount, Compact Autocannon Mount, Autocannon Ammo Feed, and Cannon Magazine Loader.
• Autocannon Ammo Feed recipes - the feed can now be crafted with either a hopper or an andesite funnel.
• NeoForge 1.21.1 recipe fix - fixed recipe loading on the NeoForge 1.21.1 build.
• Create 6 tag update - updated the NeoForge iron plate recipe tag to match Create 6.
• Usage guides - added Chinese and English guides with recipe and placement images.

The Autocannon Ammo Feed is placed next to a Compact Autocannon Mount and connects automatically to feed loose autocannon rounds. The Cannon Magazine Loader can cache three big-cannon rounds for faster follow-up shots.

Initial Forge 1.20.1 release of CBC: Firepower Components.

This release provides the 1.20.1 Forge build for players and modpacks using the older Create Big Cannons ecosystem.

Included blocks:

• Compact Cannon Mount
• Compact Autocannon Mount
• Autocannon Ammo Feed
• Cannon Magazine Loader
• Sleeve Machine Gun Shield

The Cannon Magazine Loader works as a three-round external magazine for assembled big cannon mounts. Automation inserts projectiles first, then matching powered big cartridges, and spent empty big cartridges can be extracted from the sides, back, or bottom.

This Forge build is provided as another supported release line for Minecraft 1.20.1.

Initial release of CBC: Firepower Components.

This release adds a small set of Create Big Cannons components for more compact cannon setups and cleaner ammunition automation.

• Autocannon Ammo Feed
• Cannon Magazine Loader

Since art and modeling are not my strong suit, most of the visual assets were made with AI assistance and then adjusted for the mod.
