NEOFORGE 1.21.1 · CREATE BIG CANNONS ADDON · 0.2.2

Build the turret, transmission and running gear around your design. CBC Tank Tower adds practical tank-building parts to Create Big Cannons: a turret body that follows horizontal aim, a compact T-shaped gearbox and mounts that let you place wheels and tracks precisely.

Tank Cannon Mount

Armor turns. The barrel elevates.

Attach the turret body to the cannon with Create Super Glue or Aeronautics Honey Glue. Armor and other attached blocks follow horizontal rotation while the gun elevates independently. Glued body blocks do not add to the cannon's block count or change its stress, rotation coefficient or elevation limits.

• Native CBC assembly, aiming, firing and ammunition handling.
• Supports big cannons, autocannons and upright or inverted mounts.
• Preserves turret blocks, container contents, glue and aim when saving and disassembling.

Crafting: A CBC cannon mount in the center, with four Create brass sheets above, below, left and right.

Axle Gearbox

One input. Two matching outputs.

A variant of Compact Transmission's simple gearbox with three shaft connections arranged as a T. Both side outputs share the same signed rotation speed on their common axis, making it easier to route a compact drivetrain.

• Keeps three gear ratios, redstone selection, reverse and neutral.
• Floor or ceiling placement produces a horizontal T; rotate with the Create wrench.
• Requires Create Compact Transmission.

Crafting: A simple gearbox in the center, shafts above, left and right, and a brass ingot below.

Universal Wheel Mount

Set the stance. Set the wheelbase.

The Offroad wheel mount with inward/outward and fore/aft positioning in 1/8-block steps. Keep the native tires, steering and suspension while fitting the wheel to your hull.

• Width: −1.5 to +1 block. Fore/aft: −1 to +1.5 blocks.
• The spring, telescopic arm and lower mount move with the wheel.
• Visual position and physical contact position use the same offsets.

Right-click the top or rear shaft face with an empty hand to adjust the position. Apply saves; Esc closes without changes.

Crafting: An Offroad wheel mount and a Create precision mechanism; shapeless.

Universal Track Mount

Fit the tracks to the hull.

A Tracks+ mount with inward/outward positioning. Adjust the width in 1/8-block steps while retaining native track belts, rollers, drive wheels, coloring and suspension settings.

• Width: −1 to +1 block; connected mounts receive the native Tracks+ width adjustment.
• Supports all six native roller and drive-wheel variants.
• Suspension follows the track, including empty mounts and all suspension roller sizes.

Right-click the top or rear shaft face with an empty hand to adjust the position. Apply saves; Esc closes without changes.

Crafting: A Tracks+ track mount and a Create precision mechanism; shapeless.

Compatibility and installation

Minecraft 1.21.1 • NeoForge. Install the mod and matching dependencies on both client and server. Tested versions for 0.2.2:

Minecraft    1.21.1    Required
NeoForge    21.1.252+    Required
Create    6.0.10    Required
Create Big Cannons    5.11.7    Required
Create Compact Transmission    1.0.7    Axle Gearbox
Aeronautics / Offroad + Tracks+    1.3.2 + 1.0.5    Universal mounts

The turret mount works with Create and CBC. Compact Transmission enables the gearbox; the matching Aeronautics/Offroad and Tracks+ modules enable running gear. Honey Glue support is available with Aeronautics/Simulated 1.3.2. Install the dependencies' required libraries too. CreateHole is not required.

More to come
CBC Tank Tower aims to make tank building more compact. More practical tank-building features are planned for future updates.
