⏱️ Time to complete: ~3 mins

Please ensure you have followed the section on “Tool Setup and Mod Creation” in the VRAGE3 Modding Overview guide prior to starting this guide.
Creating an Override
  1. Searching: Press the magnifying glass and in the search bar start typing IonThruster100_ThrusterEffectsComponentDefinition.def

  2. Override: Right click on IonThruster100_ThrusterEffectsComponentDefinition.def and then select Create Partial Definition (Override)

    Overriding a block effects definition allows your mod to update all vanilla blocks that use the original effects, applying your changes automatically.



  3. Select location: An explorer window will appear, choose where you want to create the override

  4. Enter a name: After selecting the location for your override enter the name for the overridden file or leave it as the suggested default and press “Confirm”

  5. Increase the flame length: In the flame length (m) field enter a new value of 10



  6. Preview: To preview your changes press the magnifying glass and search for “IonThruster100.partialdef, double click on it and it should now appear in the render view with your changes showing.

You should now be able to start your game by going to the menu bar → Project → Start Game, and on starting a new game have the vanilla 1m Ion thruster with a much larger flame.
