About this Mod
Reins Mod
Requirements: Valkyrien Skies 2(preferably version 2.4.9 or later)
Highly Recommended add-ons: Trackwork, Create: Copycats+
Reins and Whip are accessible in the Creative Menu Tools&Utilities Tab.
OR
By crafting:
Reins - Any configuration of 1 lead, 1 string, and 1 iron ingot.
Whip - Any configuration of 1 lead, and 3 string.
To use the mod:
- Use the reins on an animal to enable the ability to control them. You can right-click while crouching to remove the reins.
- From there, place fence blocks on your desired Valkyrien Skies 2 Ship.
- Use a lead on the reined animal(s) and attach them to the fence block(s) on the ship.
- When the whip is equipped by the player and the horses are attached to a Valkyrien Skies 2 ship, the player will freeze its movement, and will instead control the animals which have reins on them.
- You will then be able to drive your Valkyrien Skies 2 ship with the animals.
Automatic Travel Mode:
- To enable automatic travel mode, begin driving the ship and right click the whip in the direction you want to travel. The horses will automatically walk or sprint in whatever direction you set, allowing you to do other things while the animals take care of the navigation.
- To disable automatic travel mode, you have two options.
- Right click the whip again if you're still holding it.
- Unequip then re-equip the whip.
NOTES:
- This mod has been extensively tested in singleplayer and is considered stable for normal gameplay.
- Server use has been tested and should work as well.
- If leads visually or physically desync after reloading a world, simply detach and reattach the lead to the ship fence.
- If redstone links stop working on other ships, set
redstone_link_wildcard = false
in create-connected-common.toml.
