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!

New food and drink types to farm and cook with, if that's your jam (or jem!):

  • BetterEndDelight
  • 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: BetterEnd
  • 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
  • A custom Patchouli Guide Book to get you started

Frequently Asked Questions

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

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 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.

Aetherial Airships server lagging – performance tips

1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
