Create Balloon

This mod was completed by AI.

Adds inflatable hot air balloons to Create and Create: Aeronautics, bringing physical airship control to your survival worlds.

Create Balloon

Features

  • Hot Air Balloon Block — provides vertical lift and horizontal thrust on Sable physics structures. Dye in 16 colors.
  • Balloon Controller — right-click to pilot your structure with Space (ascend), V (descend), and WASD (move/turn). Shift to exit.
  • Gyroscope Stabilization — keeps the structure level during flight (adapted from Create: Aeroworks by mred231, MIT license). Auto-defers to Aeroworks gyroscope if one is running.
  • CC:Tweaked Integration — control balloons from Lua code with full API (ascend, descend, hover, forward, back, turn, stop).
  • Drive-By-Wire Compatible — controllers respond to wire signals.
  • 97 Crafting Recipes — craft balloons from Aeronautics envelopes, dye them, wash with fans, press back into envelopes, or inflate with Deployers holding buckets or bottles.
