Civilian Aviation - Immersive Aircraft
by Mr_Mulle
Civilian Aviation adds modern and civilian aircraft to Minecraft, and it needs Immersive Aircraft installed to run.
What it does
The mod adds a set of mostly civilian planes, helicopters and a bomber, with vanilla-styled models for travel, transport and exploration. Immersive Aircraft is required, so it must be installed alongside this mod on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge. Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server.
Each aircraft has its own handling and storage, from a quick single-engine plane for short trips to a larger trimotor with plenty of seats. Some models are built for transport and others for combat or bombing runs. The files target 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Animated levers and wings
Control levers, wings and retractable landing gear move with animation when the aircraft is flown.
Openable doors and sounds
Cabin doors open, and engine sounds are muffled from inside while unique sounds play outside.
Paint and upgrades
Many color variants are available, and a spray gun item repaints planes. Upgrades add inventory slots to aircraft.
Aircraft roster
Planes range from small fast single-engine models and a trimotor to a slow bomber with several weapon slots.
