About this Modpack
The Airship Pirates modpack includes a large number of performance-improving, quality-of-life, and feature mods that are extremely useful when playing on the survival & build servers! In addition, this modpack is equally as useful for other Movecraft servers!
Visuals
The server's rich history and vast player base have led to a plethora of cities, warships, and other amazing feats of architecture. All of which can be seen in stunning light by using the various visual improvement mods found in the pack. Included in that are useful shader packs and resource packs. A completed and updated server map will also be added soon. However, if you want, you can still explore all of that yourself.
Exploration and Mapping
Transportation can be done in several ways on the server: flying your airship, using the public ice boat tunnel network, or the classic elytra. Used in combat and exploration, this simple feature is enhanced with client-side gameplay enhancing mods, making it really about the journey and not just the destination.
Lag and Smooth Gameplay
Included in the pack are several lag reduction and performance adjustment mods that make fighting in your aircraft much smoother than a base vanilla client. While conducting combat, you will also find using the minimap, highlights, and shareable coordinates to be a literal lifesaver during the intense combat you'll find yourself in.
These are just some of the mods found in this pack that will make your time on the server not only more enjoyable but an experience waiting to be unlocked!
