About this Mod

Small plane, large plane and helicopter
Simple Planes adds four types of aircraft:

  • Small plane - uses the least amount of fuel, flies the fastest, but can only fit one player.
  • Large plane - uses up more fuel, but can fit two players and allows for large upgrades and can be used to drop payloads.
  • Cargo plane - uses up a lot of fuel, but fits multiple players and large upgrades
  • Helicopter - similar to large plane, but can be maneuvered with much more precision.

All upgrades
The aircraft needs to be powered to fly, you can choose one of the following engines:

  • Furnace engine - powered with solid fuel
  • Liquid engine - powered with liquid fuel (lava, immersive petroleum fuels and more)

    You can turn the engine on and change its throttle with the up/down arrow keys
