- Use the item in an open area to place the bomber plane.
- Interact with the plane to ride it. Do not sneak while mounting.
- Use your normal movement controls to fly and look in the direction you want to travel.
- While riding, tap or right-click, or press Jump, to use Drop Bomb. The bomber launches a TNT bomb in the direction you are looking.
- Wait about two seconds between bomb drops while the action recharges.
Overview
Skyfall Bomber adds a rideable bomber plane for aerial travel and bombing runs. The plane can carry one player, flies without gravity, and launches TNT bombs from the rider’s viewpoint.
What It Adds
- Skyfall Bomber — a placeable, rideable bomber plane.
- Drop Bomb — launches a TNT bomb forward while you are piloting.
- A single-seat flying vehicle with player-controlled movement.
- A durable aircraft with 40 health.
How To Use
Placing the Bomber
Hold the Skyfall Bomber item and use it on a suitable location. Leave enough room around and above the placement area for the plane and its movement.
Riding and Flying
Interact with the placed plane to take the pilot’s seat. Only one player can ride at a time.
While mounted:
- Use movement controls to steer the plane.
- Look toward the direction you want to fly or bomb.
- Use Jump to activate the bomber’s primary action.
- You can also tap or right-click to activate the primary action.
- Sneaking prevents the normal mount interaction, so stop crouching when you want to board.
- Use the dismount control to leave the plane.
The bomber is not affected by gravity, allowing it to fly over terrain, water, and other obstacles.
Dropping Bombs
The Drop Bomb action spawns a TNT bomb ahead of the pilot and sends it in the direction the pilot is looking. The TNT detonates on its own, so no separate ammunition or ignition step is required.
Bombs can be released approximately once every 40 game ticks, or about two seconds. Aim downward for a bombing run, or aim ahead of the plane to send TNT toward a distant target.
Crafting And Obtaining
The Skyfall Bomber is crafted at a crafting table using glass panes, iron ingots, TNT, redstone, and a minecart.
It can also be obtained directly from the Creative inventory.
Abilities And Mechanics
- One-seat vehicle: The plane has one controlling seat for a player.
- Flight: The plane has no gravity and supports free aerial movement.
- Bomb deployment: The primary action launches TNT rather than requiring bombs to be placed manually.
- Directional targeting: Bombs travel from the pilot toward the direction of the pilot’s view.
- Action cooldown: Bomb deployment has a short recharge period of about two seconds.
- Durability: The plane has 40 health and can be damaged.
- Player-only operation: Players can ride and control the bomber.
Progression And Strategy
- Build a clear runway or launch platform before placing the plane.
- Gain altitude before attacking so bombs have room to travel and detonate below.
- Look downward for accurate ground strikes and ahead for longer-range drops.
- Time your bomb releases during passes instead of repeatedly activating the control during its cooldown.
- Avoid flying directly over targets you want to preserve, since TNT bombs explode when they detonate.
- Keep a spare Skyfall Bomber available if you plan to make dangerous bombing runs.
