CBC: Modern Warfare — Rockets & Torpedoes for Create Big Cannons
This addon pushes the engineering sandbox of Create Big Cannons into a modern combat era. It introduces multiblock missile launchers, torpedo systems, medium cannons, rotary guns, and reactive armor, all while staying tightly integrated with Create’s automation and the base mod’s shell mechanics. If you run a stable Forge modpack and want to expand your artillery without breaking the block‑by‑block building logic, this is a direct, no‑nonsense upgrade.
How to Install and Dependencies
To get CBC: Modern Warfare — Rockets & Torpedoes for Create Big Cannons working, you need a matching Forge environment with both Create and Create Big Cannons already loaded. The addon does not function standalone. Always verify that your Minecraft version (typically 1.18.2 or newer) aligns with the exact builds of these three mods; mismatched versions will break recipes, damage models, and multiblock logic. For a clean setup, many players use a launcher that handles dependency resolution automatically—this avoids manual file hunting and keeps your client and server in sync. Once the core mods are in place, simply drop the addon JAR into your mods folder. On a server, every player must have the identical set of mods, otherwise projectile behavior and armor calculations will desync.
Core Features
Missile and Torpedo Launchers
The standout addition is a class of multiblock launchers designed for large, self‑contained projectiles. These systems can fire rockets and torpedoes that use standard Big Cannons shells as warheads, so your existing ammo production lines remain relevant. The launchers themselves are not single items but assemblies of blocks that require proper alignment, power input, and a steady supply of munitions. This naturally ties into Create’s conveyor belts, mechanical arms, and logic gates—automating reload cycles becomes a satisfying engineering challenge, especially on servers where resource efficiency matters.
Medium Cannons and Rotary Guns
Between the heavy artillery of Big Cannons and rapid‑fire autocannons, there is now a middle ground. Medium cannons fill that tactical gap with balanced range, damage, and rate of fire. They excel in PvE scenarios against armored targets and in base defense layouts where different guns cover overlapping arcs. Rotary guns, on the other hand, trade per‑shot impact for sheer volume. They generate more heat and demand careful resource management, but they can lock down open terrain and suppress multiple threats simultaneously. Both types integrate with Create’s rotational power and can be fed by automated ammo factories.
Advanced Ammunition and ERA
The addon expands the shell roster with new damage types, including shaped‑charge warheads that demand a response. That response comes in the form of explosive reactive armor (ERA)—a block‑based defense that counters cumulative penetrators. Placing ERA on your structures adds a layer of tactical depth: a well‑armored bunker can shrug off hits that would otherwise gut an unprotected cannon. This shifts PvP and PvE encounters from simple “who hits first” to a more deliberate game of loadout and positioning.
Compatibility and Server Considerations
CBC: Modern Warfare — Rockets & Torpedoes for Create Big Cannons for Minecraft is built for Forge and tested on stable releases of Create and Create Big Cannons. Before you download CBC: Modern Warfare — Rockets & Torpedoes for Create Big Cannons, double‑check that your modpack’s foundation mods are up to date. On multiplayer servers, enforce a strict mod list; even a minor version mismatch can cause invisible projectiles or broken multiblocks. Plan your logistics early—a beautiful launcher is useless without a reliable ammo supply chain. Use Create’s item transport to keep your guns fed, and consider dedicating separate production lines for different ammo types.
Who Should Use This Addon
This is not a casual weapon mod. It targets players who already enjoy the engineering depth of Create and the heavy artillery of Big Cannons, and who want a modern warfare layer without abandoning the block‑based, automation‑friendly philosophy. Start small: build a single medium cannon, test its supply loop, and then scale up to missile complexes. The addon rewards methodical planning and punishes rushed deployment. If you value stable, long‑term modpacks where every component has a clear role, CBC: Modern Warfare — Rockets & Torpedoes for Create Big Cannons delivers a robust, expandable combat system that fits right into your factory floor.
