Velthoric Physics Mod
💥 What’s this mod all about?
Velthoric brings high-performance physics to Minecraft using the full Jolt Physics engine via JoltJNI. Move, collide, and interact with rigid and soft bodies, ropes, and cloth, all with persistent worlds and a powerful developer API.
⚡ Core Features
The entire system is built on a highly performant Structure of Arrays (SoA) architecture to handle thousands of objects efficiently.
- Rigid & Soft Bodies: Full simulation of solid objects as well as deformable things like cloth and ropes.
- Drivable Vehicles: Cars and motorcycles with working suspension and wheel physics.
- Collision Detection: Efficient broad and narrow phase detection that supports complex shapes and convex hulls.
- Humanoid Ragdolls: Create physical ragdolls from living entities.
- Buoyancy: Objects float in water and lava based on their volume and density.
- Block Conversion: Convert any standard Minecraft block into a dynamic physics object.
- Constraints: Connect bodies using joints and other physics constraints.
- Raycasting: Precise ray and shape casting against the physics world.
- Persistence: Physics bodies are saved with the world and synchronized efficiently between server and client.
🛠️ Developer API
Create custom physics objects, control rendering, manipulate bodies, and extend the system.
Documentation can be found here.
🎯 Testing Commands
/vxsummon
Spawn built-in and custom objects: boxes, ropes, cloth, marbles and more.
Also works with any objects registered via the API.
Test Vehicles:
You can spawn a test car or motorcycle that you can drive using:
/vxsummon velthoric:car ~ ~ ~
/vxsummon velthoric:motorcycle ~ ~ ~
The seat is visible when you press F3 + B.
/vxtest
Quickly create predefined setups for dev & debugging.
Includes chained boxes, configurable soft bodies, box grids, and more.
/vxkill @x[...]
Remove physics objects matching a selector.
You can target objects by type, bodytype, distance, limit, and sort.
Example:
/vxkill @x[type=velthoric:box,limit=5,sort=nearest]
🔧 Included Tools
- PhysicsGun – Pick up, move, rotate, and yeet objects.
- Magnetizer – Pull or push objects where you aim.
- BoxThrower – Spawn and launch boxes instantly.
- ChainCreator – Connect two objects (or one to the ground) with a chain.
