CBC: LAPS — 1.0.0-beta.1

First beta release of CBC: LAPS for Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge.

This version factors cannon length and reinforcement into strength calculations for Create Big Cannons.

• Propellant charge tolerance calculated based on the material, barrel sections, and barrel length.
• Final propellant stress limit capped, by default, by the number of consecutive chambers after the breech.
• Cumulative recoil based on the propellant blocks used, with a configurable multiplier.
• Configurable maximum cannon length from 5 to 512 blocks: 128 blocks by default.
• Settings for weld penalties and breech scaling.
• Detailed calculations displayed through Create’s Engineer’s Goggles: hold Left Alt by default, with a customizable key binding.
• Admin command: /cbclaps status.
• French and English translations.

The mod preserves Create Big Cannons’ firing mechanics and does not add any blocks or items.

It should work with more modern versions, and possibly older ones, though that hasn't been tested.

Target environment: Minecraft 1.21.1, Java 21, NeoForge 21.1.248, Create 6.0.10, and Create Big Cannons 5.11.7, along with their dependencies. Installation is required on both the client and the server.

This beta is intended for testing and player feedback. The velocityEfficiency options do not have any effect yet.
