How to Construct Hot Air Balloons and Floating Airships

Assembling Buoyant Components

Create Aeronautics provides dedicated parts for lighter-than-air flight, letting you turn static cabins into drifting aerial platforms. Start by laying out a passenger basket, gondola, or platform on the ground using lightweight blocks.

To give the structure lift, incorporate one of the mod's aeronautic lift blocks:

• Place hot air balloons directly above your platform to provide steady, upward buoyancy.
• Alternatively, build magic floating rocks into the core or base of the structure to hold it suspended in mid-air.
• Add spinning propellers or small directional rotors to the sides if you want forward propulsion in addition to vertical lift.

Applying Simulated Aerodynamics

To turn the collection of blocks into a floating machine, connect redstone parts to the lift and propulsion elements to govern ascending and descending.

Next, equip your assembly tool and select the entire machine. Verify that the transparent selection box stretches from the base of the basket all the way to the top of the hot air balloons or magic floating rocks. Trigger the assembly command to engage physics, releasing the airship from the static world so it can float and cruise through the air.
