Create: The Air War 1.21.1 Fix Bridge

A lightweight compatibility and bugfix addon for Create: The Air War on Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).

🛠 What This Fixes

1. Survival Mining & Block Drops (1.21 Loot Tables)

In the 1.21 port of Create: The Air Wars, many blocks had missing or outdated loot table formats and block tags, causing them to drop nothing when mined in survival. This bridge restores proper drops and mining tiers for:

• Ores & Minerals: Titanium Ore, Deepslate Titanium Ore, Amalgam Ore, Deepslate Amalgam Ore, Sulfur Ore, Deepslate Sulfur Ore, and Titanium Blocks.
• Weaponry & Mounts: Minigun, Machinegun, Anti-Aircraft Launcher, Vihr Launcher, Rim-7, Aim-9X, SC-250, C-25, Fab-3000, and Tomahawk.
• Avionics & Utility: Cameras, Monitors, Radar, Sonar, Gyro Stabilizers, Rocket Data Links, and Rocket Engines.

2. Pickaxe Tool & Mining Tier Tags

All solid blocks now register properly under #minecraft:mineable/pickaxe and appropriate #minecraft:needs_iron_tool / #minecraft:needs_diamond_tool tags so you can mine them with your tools without breaking them into nothingness.

3. Minigun Barrel Visual Alignment Fix

Fixes an OpenGL matrix bug in the default Minigun renderer where rotating barrels were inverted on East and West placements (rendering on the opposite side of the base from the bullet trajectory). Barrels now always point and spin in the exact direction the block is placed and fires.
