Create Aeronautics
With Sable installed, Create Aeronautics lets players assemble airships, planes, drones, hot-air balloons, cars and trucks from Create parts, all moved by simulated physics.
What it does
The mod expands the systems of Create so that players can build vehicles and physics contraptions. It depends on Create and Sable, both of which must be installed alongside it. Its content covers planes, drones, hot-air balloons, cars, trucks and a number of playful gizmos, arranged into three groups of blocks and tools.
The project is split into Simulated, Aeronautics and a third group for land vehicles. Simulated supplies the assembly process, redstone components and the tools needed to interact with simulated contraptions. Aeronautics adds flying machines driven by hot air, propellers and floating rocks. The third group turns almost any block that looks like a wheel into a part for land vehicles.
The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 only, with files dated from 2026-02-07 to 2026-08-29. The latest file is 1.3.2+mc1.21.1. Both the server and every player need it, so it has to be installed on each side. The source code and issue tracker are public, but the license is a custom one and the mod is not open source.
