Arsenal of Vehicles

Arsenal of Vehicles

Build your fleet. Take the controls. Bring your crew.

Arsenal of Vehicles adds 28 vehicles from a dirt bike and a rubber
dinghy to an aircraft carrier: jets, a stealth bomber, helicopters, a tank, armored vehicles,
a howitzer and an anti-aircraft launcher, trucks, boats, a submarine you can walk about inside,
and two warships whose decks you walk on while they steam. Most carry a crew, each with a job of
their own.

Build vehicles at the Arsenal Workbench, stock them with supplies and ammunition, and head out alone or with friends. Many vehicles have dedicated crew stations, allowing one player to drive while others operate weapons or support the mission.

The Fleet

In the Air

• Hydra: A jump jet that switches between hovering and forward flight, armed with a cannon and missiles.
• Manticore: A carrier fighter built to launch from the Tiamat’s catapults and land using its arresting wires.
• Thunderbird: A tough ground-attack aircraft equipped with a rotary cannon, rockets, and missiles.
• Phoenix – a two-seat reconnaissance jet, the fastest thing in the mod: two hypersonic
    missiles in its bay and a radar that maps everything for a long way round.
• Nightwing – a stealth bomber sixty blocks across that radar does not show: sixteen bombs on
    two rotary launchers, and a crew room up a ladder to walk about in.
• Wyvern: An attack helicopter with separate pilot and gunner stations.
• Harpy – a utility helicopter: two door miniguns, and a cabin for eleven troops, high enough
    to stand in.
• Roc: A twin-rotor transport helicopter with nineteen seats, door guns, and a loading ramp.
• Gryphon: A sky-crane helicopter that lifts and transports other vehicles.
• Pegasus: A cargo aircraft with a loading ramp and room to transport vehicles.
• Atlas – a four-engined jet transport. Its hold takes anything that drives, the tank too,
    and drops it by parachute.

On the Ground

• Basilisk: A battle tank with a main cannon and a separate roof-mounted machine gun.
• Minotaur – an infantry fighting vehicle: a 25 mm cannon and wire-guided TOW missiles on its turret, and a troop compartment for six that you walk into up its ramp.
• Selkie – an amphibious assault vehicle: it swims, climbs out up a beach, and carries fourteen in a troop bay you walk into up its ramp; a grenade launcher and a .50 on its roof.
• Cyclops – a self-propelled 155 mm howitzer: lay it on a spot on its fire control’s map, type in coordinates, or fire on missions called by an observer with a laser rangefinder, from up to a thousand blocks off. High explosive, guided, smoke, illumination and cluster shells; several rounds landing at once; a shell camera that follows the round down; enemy guns found firing shown on its map.
• Typhon – an anti-aircraft missile launcher on the BM-30 Smerch’s eight-wheeled truck: put its jacks down, raise the block of twelve tubes, lock on to an aircraft and ripple homing missiles after it. A crew of four in its long cab.
• Behemoth: An armed troop truck with benches for twelve passengers.
• Warg: A compact jeep with a rear-mounted gun.
• Cerberus – an armoured Humvee; its gunner sits in a turret on the roof, behind steel shields
    and armoured glass.
• Jackal – a military dirt bike that leans into its turns; the passenger can shoot their own
    gun.
• Salamander: An eight-wheeled amphibious vehicle that travels across land and water with a cannon turret.
• Tug – a carrier’s aircraft towing tractor: it hitches an aircraft by its nose wheel and
    pushes it back into a hangar.

On and Under the Water

• Kelpie: A small inflatable boat for inexpensive water transport.
• Scylla: A fast patrol boat with a forward autocannon.
• Charon: A landing craft with a bow ramp for unloading vehicles onto a beach.
• Kraken: An attack submarine with torpedoes, a periscope, sonar, and a walkable interior containing a control room, torpedo room, and mess.
• Leviathan: A 180 block battleship with two triple turrets, close-in guns, walkable decks, and a boat crane that holds a Kelpie. 
• Tiamat: A 440 block aircraft carrier with catapults, arresting wires, an aircraft hangar, two working lifts, and an internal stern boat dock connected to the hangar by stairs.

Build, Supply, and Customize

Survival crafting: Assemble vehicles from engines, wings, armor plates, tracks, and other components. Start with the Warg or Kelpie, then work toward larger aircraft and ships. JEI integration displays the Arsenal Workbench’s assembly recipes when JEI is installed.

Ammunition and combat: Supply your vehicle’s hold with machine gun belts, cannon shells, rockets, missiles, tank shells, or torpedoes. Choose normal, explosive, or incendiary ammunition to suit the job. Survival weapons consume ammunition, making supplies part of preparing your fleet.

Custom paint: Personalize vehicles through the Arsenal Workbench’s Paint tab. Choose preset colors and camouflage schemes or create your own colors and patterns, with a rotating preview. Vehicles retain their paint when packed back into items.

Repairs and cargo: Carry supplies and ammunition in vehicle holds, repair hull damage with iron, and pack vehicles back into items for transport.

Built for a Crew

Dedicated stations give passengers a purpose. Operate weapons while a friend pilots, transport a squad by helicopter, move ground vehicles by cargo plane or landing craft, or run flight operations from your carrier.

Vehicles left parked on ship decks can be secured and carried along with the ship, including on the Tiamat’s lifts. The carrier’s internal dock also provides space to transport smaller boats.

Vehicles remember their owner, preventing guided weapons from locking onto their own vehicles. Optional FTB Teams support extends this protection to teammates’ vehicles.

Recent Improvements

Recent updates bring custom vehicle painting, expanded ammunition choices, and improved rendering for large vehicles while preserving their visual detail. Carrier collision fixes improve access between the flight deck and aircraft hangar, alongside improvements to ship interiors and walkable surfaces.

Requirements and Configuration

• Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge
• Install the mod on both the client and server.
• Requires Arsonal Vehicle Core.
• JEI and FTB Teams integrations are optional.
• Configure weapon damage, block destruction, and vehicle durability through the mod’s settings.
• Large ships need plenty of deep, open water.

Arsenal of Vehicles is actively being developed. Singleplayer has received the most testing; multiplayer feedback and bug reports help improve future releases.

Development disclosure: The code and models are AI-generated, with time spent refining the results and testing them in-game.
