Create: Sonar is an addon for the Create mod that adds a functional sonar system for real-time terrain visualization.
Core Features:
Sonar Device: The core block that generates scanning pulses.
AR Goggles: Wear them to visualize the sonar waves and terrain grid.
Display Module: A crafting component used in the sonar and goggles.
How it works:
-
Craft: Use the Display Module alongside other Create components to build the Sonar block and AR Goggles.
-
Configure: Right-click the Sonar to open its GUI. Customize the scan mode (Outline, Full Detail, Contour), adjust the range, toggle entity scanning, and fine-tune the RGB color.
-
Activate: Supply the Sonar with rotational power (Stress) from Create's kinetic network and a redstone signal.
-
Observe: Put on the AR Goggles to see the sonar waves sweep across the terrain, clearly outlining blocks, mobs, and dropped items in real-time.
Key Highlights:
Enhanced Visibility: The glowing wireframe pulses are rendered independently of world lighting, penetrating darkness, deep oceans, rain, and even the Nether fog.
Aeronautics Compatible: Full support for vehicle physics! Sonars can be placed on contraptions, dynamically tracking the vessel's movement.
Highly Customizable: Everything from the scan radius to the exact color of the grid lines can be changed on the fly.
Performance Optimized: Advanced techniques like frustum culling, frame distribution, and edge tracking ensure smooth performance even at maximum range.
Never lose your way in the dark again.
