Aerodynamics4MC
Aerodynamics4MC adds wind simulation and real airfoil aerodynamics to Minecraft, for players who want flight physics that respond to the air around an aircraft.
What it does
Wind is modeled as a multi-scale field calculated on the server, so every player sees the same wind at the same moment. Lift and drag follow angle of attack and real NACA airfoil coefficient curves, so the force on a wing depends on its current angle to the actual airflow and on the wing type. Exceeding the critical angle of attack makes lift collapse into a stall.
Aerodynamics4MC is client and server: the server and every player need it. A separate compatibility file for an external flight mod is available, and a content add-on adds anemometers, sailboats, weather maps and wind vanes. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Wind field simulation
A multi-scale wind field is calculated on the server and streamed to clients, which then draw the visual effects.
Angle of attack lift and drag
Lift and drag coefficients are looked up from NACA curves for each wing type, so forces follow the real angle to the wind.
Stall behavior
Exceeding the critical angle of attack collapses lift, so pilots have to keep the angle within range.
Flight compatibility layer
A separate compatibility file replaces arcade-style flight with the aerodynamic model, and the aircraft responds to wind and control inputs.
Content add-on
An official content pack adds anemometers, sailboats, weather maps and wind vanes for players to interact with the wind.
