Untitled Physics

Untitled Physics

Real-time 3D rigid-body physics engine and developer API for Paper 1.21.4 servers — powered by native Display Entities with zero client mods or resource packs required.

What is Untitled Physics?

Untitled Physics brings true server-side 3D rigid-body simulation to Paper 1.21.4+ without requiring players to install any client mods or resource packs. Every physical object is rendered through native Minecraft BlockDisplay, ItemDisplay, and TextDisplay entities paired with shape-fitted Interaction hitboxes and a jitter-free Split-Impulse Projected Gauss-Seidel (PGS) constraint solver.

It works out of the box in two modes:

1. Standalone Server Plugin — convert structures into physical or destructible 3D objects, manipulate bodies with interactive physics wands, connect blocks with ropes/springs/hinges, and fine-tune 34 world reaction rules.
2. Developer Library (UntitledPhysics.get()) — a clean, zero-NMS Java API for spawning custom multi-part 3D bodies, motorized joints, force fields, raycasts, and listening to physical collision/interaction events in your own plugins.

Key Features

1. Exact VoxelShape Colliders & Hitboxes

No phantom full-cube air boxes around non-cubic blocks:

• 1:1 Block Geometry: Automatically reads Paper's Block#getCollisionShape() (VoxelShape) for slabs, stairs (straight, corner, upside-down), trapdoors, fences, walls, anvils, cauldrons, lecterns, lanterns, chains, and carpets, shifting the collider to its exact volume-weighted Center of Mass (COM) via the Parallel Axis Theorem.
• Subdivided Interaction Hitboxes: Click and attack hitboxes wrap each sub-box of the VoxelShape so players can click and shoot arrows right through the empty cutout of stairs or arches.

2. 3D Region Conversion & Destructible Structures

Turn any building, tree, bridge, or statue into a physical 3D object:

• Select Pos1 and Pos2 using the Region Selector wand (/untitled selwand) or /untitled pos1 & /untitled pos2 with a live particle wireframe preview.
• /untitled convert compound — merges adjacent full cubes via 3D Greedy Voxel Meshing and hides enclosed interior blocks (Interior Culling) to maximize client FPS and keep server MSPT minimal.
• /untitled convert breakable — welds neighboring blocks with breakable FixedJoint constraints (breakImpulse) so explosions and heavy impacts shatter walls and roofs into pieces.

3. Calibrated to Vanilla Minecraft 1.21.4 Constants

Simulation values are matched to real Minecraft mechanics rather than arbitrary numbers:

• Gravity: -16.0 m/s² (0.04 blocks/tick², matching vanilla FallingBlock, PrimedTnt, Item, and Boat free-fall; includes entity = -32.0, earth = -9.81, moon = -3.7, and zero presets).
• Pistons, Slime & Honey: Piston-driven Slime Blocks launch bodies at exact vanilla 20.0 m/s (1.0 block/tick), Honey Blocks carry bodies cleanly by 1.0 block, and non-sticky retracting pistons wake resting bodies without false pulling.
• Explosions: Uses exact vanilla blast radius 2.0 × power (TNT = 4 → 8m, Creeper = 3/6 → 6/12m, End Crystal = 6 → 12m, Bed/Anchor = 5 → 10m, Wind Charge = 2.6m/3.0m) with raycast wall occlusion and optional temporary 3D block debris.
• Hydrodynamics & Surfaces: 9-point Archimedes buoyancy in water and lava, river & Nether/Overworld lava flow currents, Soul Sand / Magma bubble columns, cobweb & powder snow damping, bed (0.66) & slime (0.85) bounce, hay bale impact absorption, Blue Ice < Packed Ice < Ice friction tiers, and exact Attribute.ENTITY_INTERACTION_RANGE melee reach (3.0m Survival / 5.0m Creative).

4. Interactive Physics Wands

Run /untitled wand [all|gravity|selector|voxelizer|linker] to obtain:

• Gravity Gun (BLAZE_ROD) — RMB to grab/carry any dynamic 3D body in mid-air, Sneak + Scroll to adjust distance, LMB to launch forward.
• Region Selector (BREEZE_ROD) — LMB = Pos1, RMB = Pos2, Sneak + RMB = convert region into physics.
• Voxelizer (AMETHYST_SHARD) — RMB converts a single world block into a zero-shift 3D body; Sneak + RMB merges a 3×3×3 cluster; LMB creates a breakable welded cluster.
• Joint Linker (TRIPWIRE_HOOK) — RMB two bodies (or one body and a world block) to link them; Sneak + LMB cycles joint mode (SPRING, ROPE, BALL_SOCKET, BREAKABLE_WELD).

5. Claim Protection, TPS Safety & 34 Reaction Flags

• Claim & Container Protection: Fires cancellable BlockBreakEvent probes before converting blocks (compatible with WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, Towny, Lands, and spawn protection), enforces WorldBorder, blocks unbreakable/technical blocks (bedrock, portals, spawners, command blocks), and skips InventoryHolder containers (skip-containers: true) so player loot is never lost.
• 34 Toggleable Reaction Flags: Run /untitled reactions for an interactive clickable chat menu controlling all 34 flags across 8 categories (globally, per-world, per-body, or per-player).
• Per-Admin Live 3D Debugger: Run /untitled debug to inspect OBB/compound collider wireframes, contact points, velocity vectors, joint tension, and real-time MSPT in the ActionBar (visible only to the admin who enabled it).
• Multi-Language (messages.yml): Built-in English (en) and Russian (ru) locales with hot-reload (/untitled reload) and custom language support.

Requirements & Installation

• Server Software: Paper 1.21.4 or compatible fork (Purpur). Folia regional multithreading and Spigot/CraftBukkit without Paper's VoxelShape / Adventure APIs are not supported.

1. Drop Untitled.jar into your server's plugins/ folder and restart the server.
