About this Modpack
Aetherial Airships is a sandbox survival/exploration modpack for Minecraft Fabric 1.20.1, featuring all of the following, (with more to come):
Worldgen/Visual:
- Custom floating island Overworld generation, including ocean islands, mountains with rivers and lakes, cave biomes underneath the islands, and all 1.20.1 biomes and structures.
- Custom Nether generation, with floating islands over a giant Lava Sea
- Distant Horizons, so you can see in the distance without maxing out your CPU
- Super Fancy Clouds to match the world generation
- Clear Void, so the sky remains blue until you're close to the bottom of the world and quickly fades to black after Y:-32
- End Remastered - Adds 16 Custom Eyes of Ender, at least 12 different Custom Eyes are required to open an End Portal
- Ecologics - Adds thin ice to cold biomes, new overworld trees, new food types, and some new mobs.
- Create: Structures Arise and Create: Structures Overhaul - Adds new Create-themed structures
- The Aether - Adds a whole new dimension, complete with new mobs and challenging dungeons!
Automate with Create, build Trains and Ships, or just explore with Airships:
- Working Ships and Airships, using Valkyrien Skies 2, Eureka! Ships! and a few VS2 addons.
- Valkyrien Pirates - Watch out for Pirate Ships and Pirate Airships!
- VS Crumbles - don't let your (air)ships take too much damage, as separated parts will fall off, and your (air)ship could completely disassemble if not enough parts remain near the Helm!
- VS Grapples - so you can grapple onto (air)ships to board them, or save yourself if you fall off!
- Create Fabric, with popular add-ons Create: Enchantment Industry and Create: Steam 'n' Rails.
- Bottle your Ship to move it to another location, place it in the world, or just keep it from being moved when you're offline
- Copper Age Backport - adds Copper Golems, Copper armour and tools, as well as all the new Copper and Tuff blocks from the Copper Age drop!
- Vanilla Backport - adds a whole slew of vanilla content from later Minecraft versions!
New food and drink types to farm and cook with, if that's your jam (or jem!):
- Chef's Delight - adds new Villager professions (the Cook and the Chef), with new village structures for them to work at.
- Compat Delight - adds oranges, grapes, and blueberries, and a bunch of new recipes
- Farmer's Delight (refabricated)
- Farmer's Delight Expansion
- Farmer's Cutting: The Aether
- Pineaple Delight
Quality of Life:
- Jade, so you can figure out which mod a block comes from and what to harvest it with.
- Jade VS, so Jade functionality works with VS Ships
- Universal Graves, because you should have a chance to retrieve your items, even when dying to the Void
- Your Reputation, so you can see what Villagers and Iron Golems think of you
- Two custom Patchouli Guide Books to get you started

Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €7.800000000000001/month).
Can I add custom mods to Aetherial Airships without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
