Skyfire Bomber

Quickstart

1. Craft the Skyfire Bomber placer at a crafting table:

1. Select the Skyfire Bomber item and use it on the side or top of a block. The placer is not consumed.
2. You are automatically seated in the plane. Use normal movement controls to fly, and look in the direction you want to travel or aim.
3. Tap/use the mounted action or press Jump to display and activate Drop Bomb. Bombs launch in the direction you are looking, with a two-second cooldown.
4. Sneak to dismount. The plane has one seat.

With cheats enabled, you can obtain the placer with /give @s com_skyfire_bomber_rivyupf3:my_vehicle_placer or summon the plane directly with /summon com_skyfire_bomber_rivyupf3:my_vehicle.

Overview

Skyfire Bomber adds a rideable, free-flying bomber plane. It has no gravity, can be controlled through the air, and automatically switches the rider to a third-person view while mounted.

The plane has 40 health and supports one player pilot.

What It Adds

• Skyfire Bomber — a rideable aircraft and bomber.
• Skyfire Bomber placer — the craftable item used to place the plane.
• Drop Bomb — the plane's mounted primary weapon, which launches TNT in the direction the pilot is looking.

How To Use

Placing the Plane

Use the Skyfire Bomber placer on any block face. The plane appears beside the targeted block, facing the direction you are looking, and immediately pulls you into its pilot seat.

The placer can be used repeatedly because it is not consumed when the plane is placed.

Flying

While seated:

• Use standard movement controls to steer through the air.
• Look around to choose your flight and bombing direction.
• The plane can move freely above land and water.
• The camera switches to third person while you are piloting.

Only one player can ride the plane at a time.

Dropping Bombs

While piloting, tap/use the mounted action or press Jump to activate Drop Bomb. An explosive TNT bomb is launched forward from the plane and follows the direction you are looking.

The weapon has a 40-tick cooldown, equal to 2 seconds. A mounted action-bar indicator shows the action and remaining cooldown.

Dismounting

Sneak to leave the pilot seat. Your normal camera, equipment, and held item are restored when you dismount.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Skyfire Bomber placer is crafted in a crafting table using:

• Iron ingots
• A glass pane
• Redstone
• Gunpowder
• A feather

The plane is also available through the Creative inventory. For command use, the placer item ID is com_skyfire_bomber_rivyupf3:my_vehicle_placer, and the summonable plane entity ID is com_skyfire_bomber_rivyupf3:my_vehicle.

Abilities And Mechanics

• The bomber is an air vehicle with no gravity.
• It has 40 maximum health.
• It has one controlling seat for a player.
• Its main action launches TNT at a speed of 1.5 in the pilot's view direction.
• Bombing is limited by a two-second cooldown.
• The plane's pilot and worn equipment are hidden from the vehicle view while mounted for a clearer aircraft perspective.
• TNT bombs explode as normal TNT entities.

Progression And Strategy

Craft the plane once you have gathered gunpowder, redstone, iron, glass, and a feather. Place it in an open area so it has room to take off and maneuver.

For bombing runs, gain some distance from your target, line up your view, and tap Drop Bomb. Since the bomb travels where you are looking rather than simply falling straight down, adjust your aim while flying to lead moving targets or strike targets below you.
