Custom Planes lets a server add flyable planes to Minecraft, with a datapack option for worlds that should not change their code.

What it does

Custom Planes adds functional planes that players can fly. Players who keep a world on the mod version get it through the mod itself, while a datapack version suits worlds where only selected maps should get the planes. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack build covers the same idea without a loader. Files cover 1.18 – 1.21.4, with 1.20-B+mod for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

Functional planes
Planes can be flown in the world once the mod or datapack is active on the server.
Mod or datapack install
A full mod build covers new and existing worlds, while a datapack build limits the planes to chosen worlds.
Public source code
The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the MIT License.
