✈️ Anti-Air System

A lightweight anti-aircraft system for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, designed to extend vanilla combat mechanics with simple aircraft targeting features.

Overview

Anti-Air System introduces basic anti-air functionality into Minecraft without adding unnecessary complexity.

The mod enhances existing mechanics (like crossbows) and adds a deployable Flak 38 to allow players to interact with airborne targets in a more dynamic way.

It is built with a focus on:

• Simplicity
• Mod compatibility
• Server-side usability
