selection of previous older updates

'Heavy Tools'-Update 1.7.6 (Feb '24):
This update adds a bunch of improvements to QoL and a heap of new all-steel hardware and nifty gadgets. Prep yourself for farming, exploration or all out destruction.

vehicle mechanics

new fuel gauges and vehicle status GUI
drive/speed selector lever with 'R'-key (land and air vehicles are now generally much faster)
land vehicles are now slow in reverse
all water vehicles now refill water automatically
special abilities are now all controlled individually (previously, settings like 'armed' or 'coupled' for airship weapons or the cargo sleigh were set to the same state for all players on a server when changed)
existing vehicle's special abilities (police airship's rockets, ghastship-fireballs were overhauled to be more effective, reliable and less buggy)
...

new items and vehicles to explore and farm

new underwater vehicle 'submersible'
- right-click to start diving. If you load up some lanterns, you can shoot them to light the sea floor (right-click with an item in hand)
- automatically refills your oxygen
- place a backseat cushion next to the submersible to let a friend ride with you.
new wearable item 'parachgute backpack'
- never take fall damage again - provided you have enough time to deploy your chute (right-click with an item in hand to deploy)
update to the diving suit
- unlimited oxygen level
- use oxygen to jump or boost upwards (crouching/senaking or swimming)
- mining is now actually practical underwater
- pair this with the submersible and you mine and build under water without any hassle
update to 'roller engine'
- 'pave' mode: if you load up planks, you can deploy them with right-click to build inclines/stairs into your roads
- 'plow' mode: if you load up seeds/crops, you can plant them automatically while driving over farmland
- if no seeds/crops are loaded, the roller engine will act as a lawnmower or harvester and collect all plants and crops it catches.
- select between modes 'roll' (working the ground) and 'drive' (just moving) with the drive lever 'R' on the go
- new animations for plowing
slight changes to many models and textures

new items and vehicles to fight off enemies or wage all out war against other players

'old' guns - making the link to vanilla combat options with simple firearms from (even more) days gone by
- musket pistol - use iron nuggets and gunpowder from your inventory or craft paper bullets
- musket rfile - more punch and accuracy. If you can deal with the reload times, this might actually prove really effective. It can also severely stun enemies with a melee sprint attack
- cannon - load up on cannonballs and gunpowder (or cannon charges is you feel like it) and bombard enemies with splash damage
artillery: cannons, cannon- and machine gun turrets
- even more punch and range.
- craft turrets to add them to vehicles like the tank or the track crawler and let another passenger dash out additional damage.

new combat vehicles

'cloud viper' - a weaponized variant of the 'cloud-coupé'
- fires a fast barrage of machine gun bursts. It only climbs subtly when targeting enemies, so use an empty hand when making sharp manouvers.

'war airship' - a bomber variant of the regual ariship
- slower, but can drop devestating payloads of either tnt blocks or new special bombs
- comes with a machine gun turret for defense
tank
- slow but dangerous. The autocannon makes quick work of multiple targets
- simply drive into/over any obstace to deal considerable damage to blocks (most materials softer than stone stone) and enemies
steam warship
- 3 player vehicle. You can even stand on the deck (just) around the turret.
- to acces the captain's helm from the deck, look up and right click on the outlined block just above the turret! From there, use the R-key like you would use 'right-click' in other vehicles

Spooktober-Update 💀🎃🦇 (Oct. '23):

in for Halloween(as of 1.7.5c): Ghastship - claim the nether with this new, cursed flying machine!

- includes warped and crimson fungus color variants (right-click with either fungus)

please spare yourself some time and read update notes or instrctions

please read description

supported MC versions:
1.20.1 is the main release version for now (Jan. 2025).
1.21.1 will be the version for the next updates
support for legacy MC versions:

please note, that I am aware of the requests for legacy updates, that being:

1.19.2 bugfixes and 1.19.2 content updates:
I am aware of the most important issues regarding item stacking etc. in the last 1.19.2 release. I will still not go back, sorry!
there are currently no more plans to add new releases for MC 1.19.2! I was convinced that I could do it, but it is just too much and 1.19.2 is on the way out anyway.

1.18.2 backport:
this will NOT happen, sorry. I have decided this version is too outdated, not widely used anymore and not worth my time.To not cause any confusion, posting requests or asking about these topics in the comments will make me delete your comments.
