Create: Aloft
An engineering-first Modpack built around Create Aeronautics.
About this Modpack
Create: Aloft
Four factions. One sky. No shortcuts.
Create: Aloft is the official modpack for the Create: Aloft SMP — a small, friendly server built around Create and its Aeronautics addon. The pack is designed for slow-burn engineering, cosy building, and the moment four isolated worlds finally connect into one.
You can play it solo, but it really shines on the server.
Singleplayer
You can absolutely play this pack on your own. The faction system is server-driven, but if you want to build and play without it in singleplayer, run:
/aloft phase gates_open
