AirSupport

Take control of the skies with Close Air Support system.

AirSupport introduces a JTAC-inspired air support system to Minecraft. Obtain the JTAC Tablet from the Creative Inventory to request aerial operations, designate targets, and deploy a variety of military aircraft and guided weapons. Once an operation is approved, the aircraft autonomously follow their assigned routes and carry out their strikes.

Key Features

JTAC Tablet

• Interactive tablet interface with an aircraft and weapons catalog.
• Map-based target designation.
• Multiple strike types and operational options.
• Global and individual operation cooldowns.
• Mission Tracking and Battle Damage Assessment (BDA).
• Placeable tablet block.
• Currently available through the Creative Inventory. No crafting recipe is implemented.

Six Aerial Operations

• A-10 Sweep: Two A-10 aircraft perform attack passes using their GAU-8 cannons.
• F-22 Precision: Three F-22 fighters engage three designated targets with precision-guided bombs.
• B-21 Area: A B-21 bomber conducts a wide-area conventional carpet bombing run.
• F/A-18 JDAM: An F/A-18 delivers a heavy precision-guided JDAM strike.
• SOM Cruise: An F/A-18 deploys a cruise missile with two guidance modes: MAP and FPV.
• B-2 MGB: A B-2 Spirit delivers six massive guided bombs across a designated area.

SOM Cruise Missile

Take direct control of the cruise missile using FPV mode, or guide its attack through the tablet's MAP interface.

Features include:

• First-person missile camera.
• Interactive flight controls.
• Fuel and signal indicators.
• One-time boost capability.
• MAP guidance and FPV control.

Mission Tracking & BDA

Track the results of your air operations with a dedicated Battle Damage Assessment interface.

Multiplayer Support

AirSupport supports multiplayer operation requests, synchronized aircraft and mission events, and individual player cooldowns. Active sorties can continue even if the player who requested them disconnects.

Inspirations & References

AirSupport's military concepts, operational ideas, and audio design draw inspiration from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022).

Important Notes

AirSupport is designed around autonomous aerial support requested through the JTAC Tablet. Aircraft and weapons are controlled by the mod's mission system rather than directly piloted by the player.
