Skyforge Squadron

Quickstart

1. In Creative mode, search the inventory for Skyforge Squadron, Water Spray Jet, Laser Interceptor, Care Package Jet, Super TNT Bomber, Rocket Interceptor, or Pulse Fighter.
2. Hold an aircraft item and use it on a block to place the jet. For a reliable takeoff, use a flat solid runway at least 3×3 blocks wide with clear space above it.
3. The aircraft seats you automatically. Hold forward to build speed, then look in the direction you want to fly. Looking upward or downward controls your climb and descent.
4. Use left click/tap or jump to activate the aircraft's ability. While piloting, sneak and use the control item to open Jet Controls, where you can brake or activate the ability.
5. Slow down and land before dismounting. Leaving an aircraft while it is airborne causes it to enter a crash sequence.

Overview

Skyforge Squadron adds seven one-seat aircraft for high-speed flight:

• Skyforge Squadron — the standard armed aircraft
• Water Spray Jet — collects and releases water
• Laser Interceptor — activates a laser-shot effect
• Care Package Jet — drops a supply package
• Super TNT Bomber — performs a downward carpet-bombing attack
• Rocket Interceptor — fires explosive missiles
• Pulse Fighter — fires pulse projectiles

All aircraft use third-person flight presentation and display their current speed, approximate maximum speed, brake status, ability name, and ability cooldown on the action bar.

What It Adds

How To Use

Placing and mounting

Use an aircraft item on the side or top of a block. The aircraft appears facing the direction you are looking and seats you automatically.

Aircraft can be placed in any dimension. A clear, flat runway makes takeoff easier:

• Hold forward while the aircraft is on the ground.
• After building enough runway speed, it becomes airborne.
• Continue holding forward and look where you want to fly.
• Look upward to climb and downward to descend.

The Water Spray Jet can also settle on a water surface.

Flight controls

The aircraft automatically switches to a third-person camera while piloting. Your player model and equipment are hidden during flight and restored after dismounting.

Crash safety

Do not dismount while airborne. Once you have been flying, leaving the aircraft in the air starts a steep crash sequence with an alarm, smoke, flames, and an impact explosion. Land on solid ground first, or land the Water Spray Jet on water.

Crafting And Obtaining

Aircraft placer items can be found in the Creative inventory or crafted at a crafting table. Every recipe produces one aircraft item.

Abilities And Mechanics

Skyforge Squadron — Fire

The standard aircraft fires a fast flaming projectile in the direction you are looking. Its ability has a short cooldown, allowing repeated attacks during flight.

Water Spray Jet — Water Spray

The Water Spray Jet has a water tank with a maximum capacity of 8.

• Activate the ability while over a water surface to collect 2 water units, up to the tank limit.
• Activate it away from water to release up to 2 water source blocks ahead of the jet.
• The water is placed in suitable empty or liquid spaces several blocks in front of you.
• If the tank is empty, the action bar tells you to land on water to collect water.

Laser Interceptor — Laser Shot

The Laser Interceptor's ability activates its laser-shot effect and plays distinctive beacon and chime sounds. Its ability has a short cooldown.

Care Package Jet — Drop Care Package

The Care Package Jet drops a supply chest in front of and below the aircraft. The chest contains:

• 16 bread
• 12 iron ingots
• 32 arrows
• 4 TNT

The ability has a longer cooldown than the other aircraft abilities.

Super TNT Bomber — TNT Carpet Bomb

The bomber launches a downward projectile while you are looking toward the target area. The projectile produces a large explosion visual when it hits, making it useful for dramatic bombing runs.

Rocket Interceptor — Missile Salvo

The Rocket Interceptor fires a flaming missile-like projectile. On impact, it creates a blast effect with a radius of approximately 2.5 blocks. The impact does not break blocks or start fires.

Pulse Fighter — Pulse Burst

The Pulse Fighter launches a fast pulse projectile. On impact, it creates a smaller blast effect with a radius of approximately 1.5 blocks and a sonic pulse visual. The impact does not break blocks or start fires.

Progression And Strategy

• Start with Skyforge Squadron to learn takeoff, steering, braking, and the shared ability controls.
• Use the Rocket Interceptor for the highest top speed and explosive projectile attacks.
• Choose the Pulse Fighter for a fast fighter with a quick pulse attack.
• Use the Super TNT Bomber for low-speed bombing passes and large impact visuals.
• Keep a runway or landing platform near your flight area so you can safely return.
• The Water Spray Jet works best when operated near large bodies of water, allowing you to refill its tank between spray runs.
• Watch the action bar for speed and cooldown information before attempting another ability use.
