A Fabric port of the Create Airships & Essential modpack including Create, Create Big Cannons, Essential, and Eureka! Ships, as well as some QOL mods like AppleSkin and Zoomify.
For a Fabric version without Essential, click here.
These mods work very well together to provide a great steampunk experience while still preserving the vanilla feel. With this modpack you can create forts with cannons, giant steampunk Create mod machines, and mega airships with hangars to hold your fleet. This mod is perfect if you are bored of vanilla Minecraft and want some new content, but don't want to learn a ton of complicated mods, and want to preserve a vanilla+ feel. The modlist and a short description of each mod is below:

Dependencies:

- Indium - a soft dependency for Create Fabric
- Fabric Language Kotlin - A dependency of Valkyrien Skies that allows Minecraft mods to use the Kotlin programming language.

Packs
Resource Packs
Required for floating island world type:
- Scattered Floating Islands - changes the normal Overworld world generation to scattered floating islands
- Rainbeau's Flying Villages - villages are rare, so this adds a new custom village type
- Craftable Heart of The Sea - while Treasure Maps generate in shipwrecks, the Buried Treasure chests don't seem to generate, as the land they would generate in is rremoved. This resource pack makes Conduits an option but doesn't break progression
The above packs can be disabled on world generation for normal worldgen with no extra recipes or village types, they are just pre-loaded as enabled for ease of new world creation.
Optional, but recommended:
- Create Structures - Add-on for Create that implements naturally generating structures containing early-game Create contraptions and items
This pack can be enabled on world generation, it is just pre-loaded as disabled, as it uses command blocks. Enable at your own risk!
Texture Pack
- Eureka! Create Airships! a texture pack for Eureka! Ships that brings the Create visual style to Eureka blocks and entities (and has a cool name, too!)
Still to Add:
- Create: Alloyed - (awaiting a Fabric port) A soft dependency for Create Big Cannons and an addon for Create that adds in a couple new alloys to create and some associated blocks.
If you have any suggestions, please put them in the suggestions channel in the Discord server. With this modpack we try to keep a vanilla+ feel.
We plan on making a new modpack in a few months called Create Airships+ which will be a bit more heavily modded and will release in a few months. Some mods you suggest may not fit the feel of this modpack, but we might save add them to Create Airships+. A version of this pack with the Essential Mod is planned and will be linked here.
