Mods/Planes

This mod by jamioflan gives planes to the world of Minecraft, allowing players to create 5 different planes and fly them around. This mod is for both SSP, and SMP. Some of the planes are purely transport planes, such as the biplane and the 2 Seater Biplane, which only hold cargo. However, the Spitfire can fire machine guns and drop bombs. The Sopwith Camel and Fokker Dr.5 can shoot bullets but not drop bombs.

 * Tail flaps now rotate according to direction you are flying in
 * Possible compatibility with Humans+, not this version as Mr Okushama will have to tell the mobs to get in the planes
