Aeronautics Preflight Checklist

by kyletouchet

With Aeronautics Preflight Checklist, a ship builder can check a contraption before its first takeoff, using a Diagram item and a sidebar of warnings.

NeoForgeClient required, server optionalAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

The mod adds an expandable checklist menu that opens from a Diagram item provided by Create. It inspects a ship built with Create Aeronautics and lists preflight warnings and suggestions before launch. The sidebar slides out in a blueprint style that matches the native Create interface, and a magnifying glass button hides or shows the checklist panel.

Required dependencies are Create and Create Aeronautics, and the mod is for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1. Players need the client mod, while the server can run without it, though Create Aeronautics has to be installed on the server for the mod to work in multiplayer. The code is not open source; the files are released under All rights reserved. Files were first published on 2026-06-03 and last updated on 2026-06-08, with version 1.0.1 as the latest build.

Key features

  1. Flight balance check

    Warns when the center of lift is not aligned with the center of mass, including tilt or drift from an offset of more than 0.8 blocks.

  2. Thrust and torque alerts

    Detects engine and thruster placement that causes pitching or yawing imbalances and reports simulated maximum spin.

  3. Scrollable warnings list

    A scissor-clipped list lets players scroll through many warnings on complex ships without filling the screen.

  4. Cargo and survival planning

    Lets players check a design before launch so a ship can carry cargo without a costly crash.
