Aero Islands [for Create Aeronautics]
Aero Islands replaces the default world generation with floating islands over an open void, and players reach them with aerial gear.
What it does
The mod swaps the default terrain for sky islands that float above a void, keeping vanilla biomes and structures on them except ocean structures. Several new block and item types appear on these islands, including aerolite stone that generates wherever aerolite twigs are mined, and Selenite gemstone blocks that spawn in cold, barren Calcite Craters biomes.
Gilded Aerolite appears in hot biomes with golden flecks that drop gold when mined. Aerolite Twigs can be mined from floating items and aerolite veins and grant a brief burst of levitation. The Aerolite Charm, crafted from quartz, an Ender Pearl and aerolite twigs, teleports the user straight upward through solid blocks. Quickslate, a decorative block made from aerolite twigs, helps players run faster and jump higher. Selenite Lamps dampen monster spawns within a four-chunk radius when charged with Selenite Shards.
The mod requires Lithostitched. On NeoForge builds dated 1.0.9 and earlier, Sinytra Connector is needed for Fabric-style loading, and later NeoForge builds are native and do not use Connector. Aero Islands is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
