by mchhui

Create: Backtank is Jetpack gives a Create backtank the ability to fly, with flight, fall-damage and air-use settings.

ForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

A backtank equipped to a player turns into a jetpack that lets them fly in the style of creative mode, with air consumption that can be tuned in the config. Fall damage is switched off by default and can be turned back on. Integration with Tough Nails can generate heat while the jetpack is used, also configurable. TAN Compatibility is listed as a supported companion. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Creative-style flight

    Equipped backtanks let the player fly the way creative mode does, with no extra item required.

  2. Configurable air use

    The rate at which the backtank loses air while flying can be changed, so the jetpack can run longer or shorter.

  3. Fall damage option

    Players are immune to fall damage by default, and the setting can be changed in the config.
