Roadsteel Armada

Quickstart

1. Open a Crafting Table and craft the key for any vehicle — the simplest is the Battle Tank Key (iron ingots + redstone + minecart).
2. Hold the key and use it on the ground (tap/right-click a block) to place the vehicle. You are automatically mounted in third-person view.
3. An action-bar prompt appears with the available controls — read it to learn how to drive, boost, or fire.
4. Sneak to dismount. The vehicle stays parked where you left it; walk up and interact to remount.

Overview

Roadsteel Armada fills your world with a fleet of 15 distinct driveable vehicles spanning military hardware, police and civilian cars, armed pickup trucks, and supersonic aircraft. Every vehicle you place is assigned a unique serial number — #1 through #12000 — displayed persistently on the vehicle, so each one feels like a one-of-a-kind machine. Vehicles work in both survival and creative, require only vanilla ingredients to craft, and stay in the world after you dismount so others can use or guard them.

How To Use

Placing a Vehicle

Hold a vehicle key and use it on any solid surface. The vehicle spawns on the block you targeted and you are immediately seated in the driver's seat in third-person view. Each vehicle's serial number (#1–#12000) is shown on the model.

Driving (Ground Vehicles)

Use your standard movement controls to steer. The action bar shows available actions when you mount. Unarmed vehicles have a boost action for a burst of speed. Heavier vehicles (tanks, trucks) are slower; supercars are the fastest ground vehicles.

Flying (Air Vehicles)

The Attack Helicopter and Strike Jet use true flight controls with no gravity. You can ascend, descend, and navigate freely in the air, making them ideal for aerial combat or fast cross-map travel.

Combat (Armed Vehicles)

Armed vehicles fire explosive projectiles when you use the fire action shown on the action bar. Tanks and artillery have a longer cooldown between shots compared to lighter armed vehicles. Aim carefully — explosions affect the environment.

Dismounting and Remounting

Sneak at any time to exit the vehicle. It remains exactly where you left it. Walk up to it and press interact (the prompt reads "Drive") to mount again.

Crafting And Obtaining

Every vehicle is obtained by crafting its Key at a crafting table, then using the key on the ground to place the vehicle. Keys stack to 1. All recipes use common vanilla materials — iron ingots, redstone, and a minecart form the core of every recipe, with additional ingredients that signal the vehicle's role (TNT for armed vehicles, feathers/ender pearls for aircraft, glass panes for civilian cars, etc.).

Abilities And Mechanics

• Serial Numbers: Each placed vehicle receives a permanent serial number (#1–#12000) visible on the model. The numbering is global and persistent.
• Third-Person Camera: Mounting any vehicle automatically switches you to a third-person perspective with a camera radius appropriate to the vehicle's size.
• Action-Bar Prompts: Controls are displayed on your action bar whenever you are seated, so you never need to memorise keybinds.
• Explosive Projectiles: All armed vehicles fire explosive rounds. Tanks and artillery deal heavier area damage but must wait longer between shots.
• True Flight: Helicopters and jets are not subject to gravity while you are piloting them, allowing full three-dimensional movement.
• Persistent Parking: Vehicles do not despawn after dismount. They sit in the world until destroyed or interacted with again.
• Durability: Vehicles have hit points and can be damaged. Heavier military vehicles have more HP than civilian or supercar variants.

Progression And Strategy

Early game: The Battle Tank Key only needs iron ingots, redstone, and a minecart — all obtainable before venturing to the Nether. Craft it as soon as you have iron and use it to bulldoze terrain or defend your base.

Mid game: Once you have access to TNT, leather, glass panes, and lapis, the full range of armed ground vehicles opens up. The Armed Humvee and Armed Truck offer strong firepower with solid HP, while the Armored Car serves as a tough unarmed transport.

Late game / Nether/End prep: The Strike Jet requires an ender pearl — gather those before you intend to fly. Both air vehicles bypass terrain entirely, making cross-world travel and aerial strikes far faster than any ground option.

Combat tips:

• Use tanks and artillery for base assaults; their heavier cooldown is offset by the splash damage radius.
• Supercars (armed Lamborghini/Porsche) are fast and can fire, making them ideal for hit-and-run tactics.
• The Armed Toyota Tacoma-Style Pickup balances speed, size, and firepower well for general combat.
• Park vehicles at choke points when dismounted — they act as persistent obstacles or turrets for other players to man.
