About this Modpack
Minimal sandbox oriented modpack for experimenting with the new create aeronautics mod with multiplayer compatibility in mind. This could be creating airplanes, offroad mining vehicles, submarines you name it. Distant horizons, terrain generation, optimizations and other shader eye candy is included for convenience.
Note that aeronautics plus addons are new mods, some of which could be unstable and the same can be said about this modpack. I included the bleeding edge version of mods where possible to keep up with the hype. Opinionated addons such as sable: collision damage (contraption breaking mechanism) has been included.
Suggested java arguments for distant horizons: -XX:+UseZGC (related to chat warning)
Tested with 8GB memory.
If you see striped pattern on unloaded landscapes, use FULL mode in distant horizons world generator settings as explained in this post
On server it's suggested to use /dh pregen start overworld 0 0 300 to pregen 300 chunk radius world, in singleplayer after world generation keep the game running and DH should do the rest.

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 €12/month).
Can I add custom mods to Aeronautics Playground without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). 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.
Aeronautics Playground server lagging – performance tips
