Create: Hostile Skies

by TheBlueTaco

With Create: Hostile Skies, pillager airship raids fly themselves over the world, and players can capture a ship after defeating its raid captain.

NeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.21.1

What it does

Pillager raids arrive in airships that steer themselves using wheel levers. When a ship gets stuck on terrain, it tries to avoid obstacles and free itself. The mod adds four ships across two tiers: three tier 1 scouts named Karve, Outrider and Lookout, and one tier 2 steam ship named Hirdskip. Higher tiers become available over time as players defeat raid captains, and drinking an ominous bottle guarantees the highest available tier, with crew and loot scaled to match.

Create: Hostile Skies needs Create, Create Aeronautics and Sable, and it is integrated with Bad Omen. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under a custom license that is not open source, and the public source code is available. The mod is in Early Access, its first public release is marked as playable with limited content, and simulation distance 10 is now required.

Key features

  1. Pillager airship raids

    Pillager raids sail through the world in airships rather than on foot.

  2. Ship capture

    Killing a raid captain lets the player take the Captain's Orders helm and fly the ship as their own.

  3. Mercy system

    Dying aboard a ship slows it down, leaving time to return to it.

  4. Ship supply chests

    Chests hold organized resources, provisions and repair parts for Create Aeronautics ships.

  5. Configurable spawns

    Spawn rates, tier thresholds and crew scaling can be adjusted through an in-game config screen.

Questions

Which mods does Create: Hostile Skies require?

Create, Create Aeronautics and Sable are required dependencies, so all three must be installed alongside the mod on NeoForge 1.21.1.

Does the server need Create: Hostile Skies?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can a player keep a ship after a raid?

Killing the raid captain allows the player to take the Captain's Orders helm and fly the ship as their own.
