🎈 Anchored on Create: Aeronautics, build real, physics-simulated airships — balloons, blimps and cargo haulers with true weight, lift and thrust
🔥 Lift from hot-air balloons or levitite; climb and descend right on the burner
🌀 Thrust from real propellers spun on Create power, and steer by differential thrust — climb aboard and go, no fiddly flight stick
📦 Haul cargo, chase loot, and explore a whole sky only an airship can reach
🚀 And past the clouds, launch rockets to other planets

🏭 If it's an item, you can build a machine that makes it
⛏️ Create farms plus Mekanism 5x ore processing plus Mystical Agriculture crops
🤖 Mob factories (Woot, Mob Grinding Utils) for every drop
🧠 Full AE2 autocrafting so the base runs itself
🧪 Store XP as a liquid with Enchantment Industry
🔗 Everything threads through Create: Mekanism, Mystical Agriculture, Aeronautics, Ad Astra, boss drops and even magic need Create-made parts

SevTech-style gating: each age ends in a gate quest that unlocks the next.

✅ Every quest verifies you actually crafted it, killed it, or reached it. No free checkmarks
🎁 Every quest pays XP, with hand-picked item rewards where they help
🧭 Doubles as your tutorial and your to-do list

🚀 Ships with Sodium, ModernFix, ImmediatelyFast, FerriteCore, Entity Culling, Dynamic FPS
🎯 161 mods, tuned to boot clean

🟢 Best on the CurseForge app, everything auto-installs
🔧 On Prism / MultiMC / ATLauncher, 7 mods need a manual download (Create Aeronautics, Structory, Better Weaponry, Design n' Decor, Corail Tombstone, Entity Culling, The Skylands)
🌈 No shaders yet: the compatible loader clashes with the renderer Aeronautics needs. Coming in a later update!
