AirRaid

by adunis

AirRaid puts Illager aircraft into Minecraft's raids, outposts and wandering squadrons, so players meet flying enemies on the ground and in the sky.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Illagers and their allies pilot aircraft from the Immersive Aircraft mod, which must be installed alongside it. Pillagers, Vindicators and Witches can fly biplanes, gyrodynes and airships, and they can strafe players with rotary cannons, drop bombs or dogfight in the air. Aircraft also arrive with rain and fire down on players and villages.

Pillager Outposts spawn with parked aircraft that the defenders launch when players come near, and roaming Illager squadrons can ambush travellers while they explore. Vanilla village raids become much harder, and from wave 3 onward the raiding Illagers call in air support. Squad sizes and ammunition counts can be set in the configuration.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It targets Minecraft 1.21.1 on Fabric only, and requires Fabric API and Immersive Aircraft. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Server raids

Server owners can make village raids a larger threat by adding air support from wave 3 onward.

Exploration danger

Travel across the map carries the risk of roaming aircraft squadrons ambushing players.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want harder raids and aerial threats, and players who already run Immersive Aircraft on Fabric 1.21.1.

Questions

Does AirRaid need Immersive Aircraft?

Yes. Immersive Aircraft is a required dependency, because the Illager aircraft are built on its aircraft.

Do players need AirRaid installed?

No. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own.

Which loader and version does AirRaid support?

It is published for Fabric only, with a single game version, 1.21.1. Fabric API is required alongside it.

Can the raid difficulty be adjusted?

Squad sizes and ammunition counts are configurable, so server owners can tune how strong the air support is.
