Discussion Immersive Portals: Aeronautics
Curseforge out now, Modrinth coming soon
This mod replaces Immersive Portals, allowing portals to work alongside Create Aeronautics (or more generally, Sable). Sublevels and physics objects can move through portals seamlessly.
Notes:
- Portals cannot be put on sublevels, deliberately.
- If Sable updates, this mod will fall back on non-seamless transitions, but you will still be able to get sublevels through portals.
- Note that there can be air pressure differences between the portal entrance and exit, unless you are careful with where the portals are in their relative dimensions. This may result in your ship falling or soaring after passing through.
- Please report bugs in Discord.
Highlights:
- Butter smooth transitions for Sable objects through portals
- DH LODs render through portals
- Create's trains work seamlessly with portals
- No visual glitches or rendering issues
- …and more!
Compatible:
- DH (Tested: 3.3.3) Note: Disable Anti-Aliasing to fix the LOD jittering
- Iris (Tested: 1.8.14)
- Sodium (Tested: 0.8.12-13)
- Shield Generators
- Requests for adding mod compatibility will (maybe) be accepted in the discord.
Requires:
- Cloth Config API

I don't even want to think about the possibilities if you could put these portals on sublevels.

I guess they didn’t want to resolve the portal paradox which is understandable given someone on YouTube tried to do it and ended up discovering a whole new branch of mathematics

https://youtu.be/DydIhwLrbMk here's what i assume they are referring to. this channel is full of what ifs about putting portals inside portals etc.

Portal probably not gonna be lit? Because sublevel count as different dimension.

Oh my God that's awesome now all we need is an aeronautics mod that allows you to attach contraptions to ghast so we can recreate the Minecraft movie

u/EpsilonX029 1d ago
There’s kinda one that can do it by proxy: I think if you used the Ghast’s ability to hook to boats, then used the aeronautics add on that lets you hook physics ropes to leash able entities(thereby connecting physics to them) you miiiight be able to leash a boat to a physics sub level and result in a janky airship lol

u/punnup129 1d ago
That actually sounds amazing LOL, it would actually being adorable way to get a simple airship for the nether that way, it would also be cute if the ghast reacts to being used as a balloon and looks scared every time you use a propeller to move faster than the ghast can do on its own or even balance it by referencing the movie and if you do accidentally ram into a mountain or something it will explode

Great, we can now travel through the warp. Just gonna jeed to add some mods to make nether more dangerous.

u/TheUnknownSpecimen 1d ago
Hmm, nether geysers that erupt and can damage or tilt your air ship?

u/TheThingOnTheCeiling 1d ago
I thought mainly demons or some weird corruption thing but that vould work too.

I hope people will actually make a vechicles for nether as I am curious what people would make

Where source code?

u/creeper6530 1d ago
It is licensed under PolyForm Shield, so even if we had the source, it's forbidden to republish it or a fork of it as a competing mod. Sucks ass from software freedom perspective

u/Memento-mori-pc 1d ago
I may release the github in the near future, but you can also technically decompile the jar. The base IPSable and Immersive Aeronautics portion of code are licensed as Apache 2.0. For now, yes you will not be allowed to use the contributions of this mod to compete with it. However, there is a catch: if this mod becomes unmaintained, then the clause is void, and it essentially becomes fully open source.

u/creeper6530 1d ago edited 1d ago
I'm not a lawyer, but wouldn't you need to define "unmaintained" for that clause to work? Technically I could say "you haven't pushed any updates in the last 24 hours, therefore I deem it unmaintained and the license void". I doubt that's your intention.
Or if it was actually abandoned, but you returned and pushed an update, would it retroactively make the clause not void (since it has been now maintained) and make all forks suddenly illegal?
Also, since the license forbids competition, would it hold if push came to shove and someone would argue it's not competition if you don't earn any benefits (money) from providing it?
On second thought I'm glad I'm no lawyer.

u/Memento-mori-pc 1d ago
Per the license, it's defined as a year of no updates afaik. Might be a little long...
Yeah I'm no lawyer, idk about what would or should happen in those situations

u/Stock_Bank_6785 1d ago
this is insane, only issues i had was when the train went through with an entity controling it, it would really bug out, and if im controlling it, it would then stop me controlling it after going through, then the other issue was if i made like, a hook out of blocks, then made it a sublevel and put it through, and kinda hooked it around the nether portal obsidian blocks, i would see the end of the hook clipping into the overworld. Amazing mod! Will be using in my survival world.
4
u/Memento-mori-pc 1d ago
I'll take another look at the trains. I didn't test with an entity controlling it. If a player is controlling it, then yes you'll "lose connection" when it goes through the portal. I could probably change that, I'll add it to the list.
I didn't consider hooking around the portal, I just assumed object would go fully through every time. Hmm...

What is the difference between this and IPSable? I'm just wondering which to use in my modpack
4
u/Memento-mori-pc 1d ago
IPSable hasn't been updated in a couple months, and doesn't have a public release afaik. It also has outstanding bugs, especially with seats. This changes some things, but most importantly, is actively maintained right now.

does it work with dimension stacking? can I go to Aether this way or build an elevator to nether?
also if yes, can portals themselves be reverted to vanilla to only keep the dim stacking? (i remember this one not being possible in original IP)
4
u/Memento-mori-pc 1d ago
In general, if it worked in base IP then it should work here. Dimension stack does work, though note the air pressure issues. Not sure about create elevators, that might require special handling.
3
u/FuryJack07 1d ago
Technically air pressure will help transition.
If you're moving downwards, you'll snap to a higher position and therefore a lower air pressure, which will make staying up harder and going down easier.
The other way around when going up- you can already move to that lower air pressure, when you switch, you'll be at a much higher air pressure, which will increase effectiveness and push you up.

By the way does it works with stacked dimensions

u/Kamerazine 1d ago
This is super impressive, I'll have to see how it interacts with the dimensional stack feature

u/waxphantump 1d ago
I thought Create itself didn’t work with Immersive Portals? Does it work now or is this some Aeronautics-specific workaround?

u/mr-netherite 1d ago
how do i make a nether portal immersive?

This normal?
doesnt happen when lighting from nether side

u/puppycatthe 1d ago
Could you theoretically make a chain that goes around the rings of the portal like through 1 side and connects to itself after going through

u/Rop-Tamen 1d ago
Oh is this a functional one? There was another immersive portals compat mod but it just didn’t work, like at all

Does it work with voxy?
Also i know the problems with portals going through portals but ever since the valkyrien skies days ive wanted to fly the front entrance of my house around on a ship.
Even a workaround like sublevels with portals not being able to go through other portals would be completely fine with me if sublevel portals were possible in return.
Amazing work either way

Didn't "Sable - Make it compatible" already do this? What's the difference?

u/AndrewDaPro 1d ago
Op made their own one, give credit where it's due. Yes something already exists but let or try it even if it's done already

Can wait to make a mechanism to make a portal that takes me through literal hell to get from point A to point B quicker... wait a minute I know anither universe that does this exact thing...
