About this Mod
This project brings WW1 and WW2 planes into vanilla minecraft. This is able to be used in survival and is compatible with all of my other datapacks as well. To get started, read the book that is auto generated, and to recraft a new guide book, it is a green wool and book in a crafting bench. To give yourself a plane without having to craft it, use
/function planes_thepa:give/_PLANE_
The Guns++ datapack will be integrated in at a later date
