Laputa: Skybound
by choupiclou2
Laputa: Skybound brings an ancient sky civilization to Minecraft, with new lore, structures, weapons and armor set on floating islands.
What it does
Laputa: Skybound adds a sky civilization that players reach by exploring freshly generated worlds, where ruins and ancient structures hint at a flying island. The mod is inspired by the flying island in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels and adds clouds, Aerium technology and a set of forgotten lore to uncover. Harpies, native to the island, are hostile to players unless they wear Aerium Armor, so the armor matters early on.
The mod is built for NeoForge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Geckolib must also be installed for it to run well. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.2 for 26.1.2 as the latest file, and the code is not open source, released under All rights reserved, although public source code links exist.
Key features
Sky civilization
New ruins, lore structures and a rare city reward players who explore high up in the sky.
Aerium weapons and armor
Aerium technology supplies new weapons and a full set of armor, with Aerium Armor protecting against Harpies.
Harpies
Ancient flying creatures attack players aggressively and drop feathers and crystals when they die.
Harpy's Palm and Storm Rocket
Harpy's Palm is a melee tool that can make air attacks, and Storm Rocket is a more durable firework with greater velocity.
Gull-Iver villager
A special villager sells a few items through standard trades and offers Old Parchment, which leads to Laputa, once maximum level is reached.
