Airships and Axploration

Airships and Axploration

Project summary

Create-powered airships meet vast exploration, unique structures, dungeons,
bosses, dimensions and delightfully strange automation.

Description

Airships and Axploration is a large NeoForge adventure and technology
modpack built around Create, Sable and Create Aeronautics. Build working
airships, trains and factories, then use them to discover a much richer world
full of landmarks, ruins, dungeons, bosses and unusual loot.

Fly, build and automate

• Create, Create Aeronautics and Sable form the technical core.
• Immersive Aircraft, Ornithopter and Glider provide additional ways to travel.
• Ars Creo and Ars Sable connect magic, machinery and moving contraptions.
• Building Gadgets 2, storage tools and inventory utilities make large projects
  less tedious.

A world worth exploring

• When Dungeons Arise, Integrated Dungeons and Structures, Battle Towers,
  Philip’s Ruins, Dungeons and Taverns, Explorify and Towns and Towers add
  hundreds of possible discoveries.
• YUNG’s structure overhauls turn familiar vanilla landmarks into proper
  adventures.
• Tectonic, Atmospheric and Regions Unexplored create dramatic terrain and
  diverse biomes.
• End Remastered makes exploration part of the journey to the End.
• Waystones are deliberately more common, including frequent village spawns
  and wilderness locations roughly 12 chunks apart.

Dimensions, bosses and danger

Explore the Twilight Forest, the Aether, the Bumblezone, the Otherside and the
pocket dimensions of DimensionalDoors. Fight major encounters from L_Ender’s
Cataclysm and dimension-specific boss progressions. Born in Chaos and Enhanced
Celestials make even the overworld dangerous when unusual nights begin.

Comfortable multiplayer

Lootr provides personal dungeon loot. Xaero’s maps, Nature’s Compass,
Explorer’s Compass, Comforts and numerous inventory improvements support long
expeditions. Chunky and spark are included for server preparation and
diagnostics. Ten personal force-loaded claim chunks are allowed by the supplied
configuration.

Atmosphere and optional shaders

AmbientSounds, Sound Physics Remastered, Subtle Effects and Falling Leaves add
life without changing the pack’s core gameplay. Iris 1.8.14 Beta 1, Colorwheel
and Colorwheel Patcher provide an optional shader path. No shader is enabled by
default; lightweight or low presets are recommended.

Important installation notes

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.249
• Java 21
• Recommended client memory: 10-12 GB
• A new world is strongly recommended.
• Dedicated servers must use NeoForge. Paper and hybrid server software are not
  supported by this pack.
• Pixelmon is intentionally not included.

Immersive Portals CE is configured conservatively to limit remote chunk work,
portal recursion and unrestricted portal creation. It remains the pack’s most
experimental component, so test portal-heavy builds before committing them to
a long-running world.

This is an early public release. The pack and archive have been structurally
validated, but a complete long-term multiplayer playthrough is still pending.

Release 0.8.2

• Updated the required NeoForge loader from 21.1.248 to 21.1.249 so clients and
  dedicated servers use the same version.
• Includes 304 CurseForge-managed mod entries.
• Keeps Create Aeronautics, Sable, exploration, dimensions, bosses, Waystones,
  quality-of-life features and the optional lightweight shader path.
• Excludes the crashing Create Aeronautics x Curios API Compat 2.2 and I Was
  Just Joking 2.0 builds.
• Validated manifest uniqueness, archive integrity, required core mods and the
  supplied server-performance configuration.
