Create Aeronautics Discovery

This mod is an extension of the Create Aeronautics and will procedurally generate airships, dynamic flying events, and new pilot mobs! You can even add your own structures and custom events!

Features

Worldgen

Hot air balloon and other flying structures generate naturally across the Overworld. They will be assembled and become physics structures as soon as the player gets in range.

Flying Events

Periodically, an airplane full of loot piloted by a Soaring Trader cruises through the sky near you. It spawn at high altitude and it's quite fast, try to catch it if you can!

_Falling Barrels_: Watch out for loot crates falling out of the sky! If a flyover collides with something, the barrels it carries can fall out of it.

Patrols

When visiting an pillager outpost or a mansions, you might encounter a Pillager Aviator patrolling the area on a plane!

Interaction with the world

The structures will explode if they detect an impact!

Some blocks can also explode if shot with an arrow

All explosions can be disabled from the config.

All debris are cleaned up automatically when the main structure despawns.

Soaring Trader

A Wandering Trader variant that autonomously pilots the airplane, it trades emerald for a variety of simple Create items and brand new maps to explore rare structures in the world.

Custom Loot

New loot tables containing a mix of vanilla, Create and Create Aeronautics items.

Planned features

A big variety of structures are planned to be added in the future, such as _sky dungeons_ and _ship sailing the seas_. New interactions are planned for the existing planes, such as _increased prices for trades_ that come from Soaring Traders that have crashed down and _toggable explotions_ for the planes.

Add your own events!

It's possible to add custom structures via datapacks, this mod also adds a variety of custom triggers you can add to your builds to add special behaviors (like spawning mobs or making explosions under chosen conditions)!
