Today i played some more of the Modded Minecraft Server i setup. Since last time i posted this i moved my ship halfway across the world. There turned out to be a island in the way though so i slapped a bunch of balloons on top after using Sheep and Create to make the balloons, and i flew it to my new base location. It was honestly a bit fun, i wasn’t sure i’d be a fan of the Airship idea because i wanted to stay grounded with my build, but after i didn’t have to deal with any Ice and Fire dragons i was a fan. Plus being able to slap on Cruise Control and let this thing fly itself is nice.
I also got a Forge through Tinker’s Construct setup. With this badboy (which is 14x14) i can smelt so many ingots. It may be overcompensating though as i don’t think i can see myself using a smelter of this size. The challenge of hunting down a mesa for clay and waiting to make the seared bricks though was fun and rewarding once i finished. At some point i want to install ladders though along with windows to see the alloys.
All of this is placed under this unfinished shack, which i currently im trying to decide on a roof for. Surprisingly no spiders have climbed the wall to get to me. Maybe i’ll leave it open air too see the stars at night.
Finally, a little worse for wear is my friends house which is how i ended the night. If you’ll look at the screenshot you’ll notice that i’m in creative mode. That’s because someone didn’t read the Eureka wiki and accidentally turned his whole house into a boat because a ladder bridged his home and boat he was making.
I had to use creative to try multiple things to help him. It’s a casual server and he didn’t know any better, so i figured i’d let him off with creative this once. What we first tried to do was lower the house back into place by using balloons. That didn’t work though so instead i’m going to reset the chunk for him, let him go into creative and redo it. i trust him not to cheat or anything so i don’t mind doing this (also, like i said, it’s a casual server for me and my friends to have fun). Tomorrow i’ll have to figure out how to do that though, along with a few other QOL mods i need to add. Also probably a regular backup mod to prevent this.
That’s my second time hearing about this after seeing a post of someone asking for open source minecraft equivalents lol. I’ve already downloaded a Flatpak, but do you mind if i ask what the hype about this is? I’m genuinely curious
The main advantage over Minecraft is unrestricted modability. Luanti is just the voxel engine, you can run hundreds of different “games” on top of. Aside from the obvious mining and crafting types of games (including VoxeLibre which is a direct clone of Minecraft) there are also games with completely different gameplay - platformers, arcade etc.
The mods and games are easily downloaded from within the game.
Also - free, open source, community run. Not owned by Microsoft. So that’s nice.
I wasn’t even aware Create was getting an Airship update. The one i built is from Eureka, which is an addon for Valkyrien Skies. I have a addon that adds Create support to Valkyrien Skies though
Create: Aeronautics was its name. It looks like it’s stuck in some sort of development hell and big hype around it.
Recent Dev “update”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGQXUiNuUws
Damn, i’ll have to watch this because having a dedicated Create mod for Airships would be awesome. Eureka is a bit too simple for my taste, but it’s also the only option i have
Thank you! Generally when i just take screenshots when i see something that looks cool or has a story behind it. Games with a dedicated photo mode or a UI hider make it a whole lot easier though

Was there airship update to create already or is it still in development?

I have to say you’ve got quite good taking screenshots. How do you pick where to do one?
