Laser beams

Quickstart

Craft the Laser Roadster or take one from Creative inventory, then place it on clear ground. Right-click any part of the assembled roadster to climb in and start driving.

• WASD moves: forward is faster than reversing or moving sideways.
• Aim with your crosshair and press Space to fire a laser.
• Press your sprint key to dismount; Shift does not dismount you.

Overview

The Laser Roadster is a placeable vehicle that turns into a drivable, one-seat ride when you interact with it. While driving, fire lasers at living targets and watch your speed, heading, and altitude on the HUD.

What It Adds

• A block item that places a multi-part Laser Roadster.
• A rideable vehicle with direct WASD movement and a laser beam.
• An on-screen speed, heading, and altitude display while riding.

How To Use

Place the roadster where there is room for its parts. Right-click any part to launch it as a vehicle and mount it. The placed parts disappear as you take off.

Your camera switches to third-person while riding and returns to its previous view after you dismount. The HUD shows SPD, HDG, and ALT. If you damage the vehicle, it is removed and drops a roadster item.

Crafting And Obtaining

The crafting recipe becomes available after you join a world. Craft the Laser Roadster with a crafting table:

Abilities And Mechanics

Press Space while riding to fire a laser in the direction you are looking. It can travel up to 48 blocks, hits the nearest living target in its path, and deals 6 damage. Solid blocks stop the beam. There is a brief cooldown between shots.

The vehicle follows gravity, so it is not a flying vehicle. Space fires the laser; it does not make the roadster jump.
