Arsenal of Vehicles

Build your fleet. Take the controls. Bring your crew.

Arsenal of Vehicles adds 17 vehicles you can fly, drive, sail, and fight with—from a small jeep and inflatable boat to combat aircraft, a submarine, a battleship, and a working aircraft carrier.

Build vehicles at the Arsenal Workbench, stock them with supplies and ammunition, and head out alone or with friends. Many vehicles have dedicated crew stations, allowing one player to drive while others operate weapons or support the mission.

The Fleet

In the Air

• Hydra: A jump jet that switches between hovering and forward flight, armed with a cannon and missiles.
• Manticore: A carrier fighter built to launch from the Tiamat’s catapults and land using its arresting wires.
• Thunderbird: A tough ground-attack aircraft equipped with a rotary cannon, rockets, and missiles.
• Wyvern: An attack helicopter with separate pilot and gunner stations.
• Roc: A twin-rotor transport helicopter with nineteen seats, door guns, and a loading ramp.
• Gryphon: A sky-crane helicopter that lifts and transports other vehicles.
• Pegasus: A cargo aircraft with a loading ramp and room to transport vehicles.

On the Ground

• Basilisk: A battle tank with a main cannon and a separate roof-mounted machine gun.
• Behemoth: An armed troop truck with benches for twelve passengers.
• Warg: A compact jeep with a rear-mounted gun.
• Salamander: An eight-wheeled amphibious vehicle that travels across land and water with a cannon turret.

On and Under the Water

• Kelpie: A small inflatable boat for inexpensive water transport.
• Scylla: A fast patrol boat with a forward autocannon.
• Charon: A landing craft with a bow ramp for unloading vehicles onto a beach.
• Kraken: An attack submarine with torpedoes, a periscope, sonar, and a walkable interior containing a control room, torpedo room, and mess.
• Leviathan: A seventy-block battleship with two triple turrets, close-in guns, walkable decks, and a boat crane.
• Tiamat: A 220-block aircraft carrier with catapults, arresting wires, an aircraft hangar, two working lifts, and an internal stern boat dock connected to the hangar by stairs.

Build, Supply, and Customize

Survival crafting: Assemble vehicles from engines, wings, armor plates, tracks, and other components. Start with the Warg or Kelpie, then work toward larger aircraft and ships. JEI integration displays the Arsenal Workbench’s assembly recipes when JEI is installed.

Ammunition and combat: Supply your vehicle’s hold with machine gun belts, cannon shells, rockets, missiles, tank shells, or torpedoes. Choose normal, explosive, or incendiary ammunition to suit the job. Survival weapons consume ammunition, making supplies part of preparing your fleet.

Custom paint: Personalize vehicles through the Arsenal Workbench’s Paint tab. Choose preset colors and camouflage schemes or create your own colors and patterns, with a rotating preview. Vehicles retain their paint when packed back into items.

Repairs and cargo: Carry supplies and ammunition in vehicle holds, repair hull damage with iron, and pack vehicles back into items for transport.

Built for a Crew

Dedicated stations give passengers a purpose. Operate weapons while a friend pilots, transport a squad by helicopter, move ground vehicles by cargo plane or landing craft, or run flight operations from your carrier.

Vehicles left parked on ship decks can be secured and carried along with the ship, including on the Tiamat’s lifts. The carrier’s internal dock also provides space to transport smaller boats.

Vehicles remember their owner, preventing guided weapons from locking onto their own vehicles. Optional FTB Teams support extends this protection to teammates’ vehicles.

Recent Improvements

Recent updates bring custom vehicle painting, expanded ammunition choices, and improved rendering for large vehicles while preserving their visual detail. Carrier collision fixes improve access between the flight deck and aircraft hangar, alongside improvements to ship interiors and walkable surfaces.

Requirements and Configuration

• Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge
• Install the mod on both the client and server.
• JEI and FTB Teams integrations are optional.
• Configure weapon damage, block destruction, and vehicle durability through the mod’s settings.
• Large ships need plenty of deep, open water.

Arsenal of Vehicles is actively being developed. Singleplayer has received the most testing; multiplayer feedback and bug reports help improve future releases.

Development disclosure: The code and models are AI-generated, with time spent refining the results and testing them in-game.
