Grand Planes — Simple Edition

The most realistic airplane physics addon for Minecraft Bedrock.One handcrafted Cessna, simulated the way planes actually fly — thrust, drag, lift, gravity, stalls, banking, fuel burn, hull wear, and landings that are judged on how gently you touch down.

How the plane looks:

Why is it called Simple edition? :

Because this version will contain only this plane with extra variations in the future, with newly added mechanics, this version will stop getting updated once the Grand Planes original releases. And trust me, it is worth the wait :).

Why Choose Grand Planes

Real flight physics— not a reskinned horse. Your Cessna stalls, glides, banks, overspeeds and touches down.
Fully survival-friendly — craft six plane parts, assemble them, fuel up and fly.
16 paint liveries — repaint your plane at any time with any vanilla dye.
In-game Flight Manual — a 10-section pilot handbook ships with the addon: controls, crafting diagrams, safety, FAQ and creator tips.

The Flight Model

- Speed: cruise at up to 28 B/S — 34 B/S above the clouds at Y200.

- Takeoff: a true 60-block runway roll before you rotate, and the runway surface decides how clean it is.

- Aerodynamic limits: fly too slow with the nose high and you stall; dive beyond 37 B/S and the airframe wears fast.

- Live control surfaces: ailerons, elevators, rudder and landing flaps all respond to your inputs in real time, with speed-synced wheel spin on the ground.

- Landing grades: every touchdown is scored — BUTTER, NICE, DECENT, BAD or TERRIBLE — from descent rate, forward speed, pitch, roll and surface quality.

I crashed it :(

Aircraft Systems

- Fuel. A full tank is five Fuel Canisters at +20% each, crafted from iron and coal. Caught short of the runway? Plain coal works as an emergency backup — +5% per piece, capped at half a tank. Canisters are always the smart option.

- Hull.Rough strips, hard touchdowns and wall hits all wear the airframe. The Repair Wrench restores +25% condition per use, up to fifty repairs per wrench. At 0% hull the engine quits.

- Retrieval. Crouch-hit the plane three times to pack it back into an item, with fuel, hull and paint preserved. Dismantling costs 15% hull condition, so only retrieve when you truly need to — a good plane stays in its hangar.

Cockpit and Controls

Fly your way, with two control schemes:

- Click Controls — a full hotbar yoke: engine ignition with a live status icon, throttle in 10% steps, taxi/takeoff/pushback modes, landing flaps, camera and cruise lock.

- W / S Controls — set cruise power directly with your movement keys.

Sit back with the dynamic chase camera that follows behind the plane and tracks where you look, read your instruments on a live HUD (speed, altitude, fuel, hull and flight phase), and restyle everything through the settings gear.

Crafting Your Cessna

Six parts, each with its own recipe: the Engine, Body Frame, Wings, Landing Gear (one craft makes all three wheels), Seat and Propeller. Combine every part in the crafting grid to receive the Cessna Spawner. Full Crafting guide are waiting inside the in-game manual.

Compatibility

- Minecraft Bedrock **1.21.0 or newer**

- Works on mobile, Windows and consoles

- **No experimental toggles required**

- Multiplayer-friendly for shared worlds and Realms (Still unconfirmed)

Thanks for flying Grand Planes.

CHANGELOG :

FIXED: aircraft no longer disappear when you leave the area or reload the world - parked planes stay put

NEW: Heading Lock — pins your compass course hands-free; your view no longer steers, so climb, dive and throttle stay free (new hotbar item, airborne only)

NEW: Parking Brake + Run-Up Boost — planes now spawn braked; strong pads hold you against full power. Spool to 80%+ throttle, release, and earn stronger acceleration plus a shorter takeoff roll — the takeoff bar turns green and shows the shorter run

UPDATED: Cruise Lock — now eases the nose to level on engagement; looking up or down no longer tilts the plane while left/right steering stays manual

NEW: White wingtip trails, touchdown gear smoke and critical-hull engine smoke — with a Show Flight Effects toggle in Settings for low-end devices

NEW: HUD hold badges — BRK ON / HDG ON / ALT ON show active holds right on the HUD

NEW: What's New tab in the in-game Flight Manual (now 11 sections)

FIXED: Touchdown detection — landings now register reliably on narrow strips and edge landings.
