PeterWolf’s Planes
Overview
Peter Wolf’s Planes adds a fully‑steerable biplane to Minecraft, bringing a lightweight, vintage‑style aviation experience to the game. The mod introduces realistic flight physics, speed‑dependent control surfaces, a functional HUD, and a polished visual presentation (custom icon and ModMenu banner).
Features
- Steerable Biplane Entity – Fly a biplane that responds to mouse look (pitch & roll) and keyboard A/D for yaw/rudder.
- Speed‑Dependent Controls – Control surface effectiveness scales with forward speed; at a standstill the plane is unresponsive, and responsiveness ramps up linearly as you accelerate.
- Aerodynamic Lift Tuning – Lift is calibrated to overcome gravity at roughly 35 km/h (≈ 0.486 blocks/tick), providing a smooth take‑off and realistic stall behavior.
- Improved Gliding Physics – Reduced drag at low throttle and enhanced lift allow graceful glides and energy exchange (climbing slows the plane, diving speeds it up).
- Larger Landing‑Gear Wheels – Wheels are now 4 × 10 × 10 blocks, with custom textures for a sturdier ground stance and better visual appeal.
- Cockpit HUD – A glass‑morphic overlay shows current speed (m/s & km/h), altitude, vertical speed (color‑coded), and throttle/brake status.
⚔️ Dogfight Combat Mode (v1.1.0)
While piloting, press V to arm combat mode (shown on the HUD as Combat: ARMED).
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| V | Toggle combat mode (ARMED / SAFE) |
| Left Mouse Button | Fire twin machine guns (rapid dual tracers along the nose) |
| B | Drop a lit TNT bomb (consumes 1× TNT; free in Creative) |
Combat details
- Machine guns fire dual streams from the wing roots with plane-relative muzzle velocity — no ammo required.
- Bombs inherit most of the plane's velocity, fall under gravity with a short fuse, and explode on the ground (or mid-air when the fuse runs out).
- Occupied aircraft can be damaged by projectiles and explosions. The HUD shows airframe integrity; at 0 HP the plane is destroyed and passengers are ejected.
- Your own munitions will not damage the plane you are piloting.
- Keybinds are remappable under Controls → Peter Wolf's Planes.
🪂 Paraglider & other features
- Paraglider Backpack (chest slot): deploy in free-fall for controlled descent with bank turns, flares, double-W dive, and spiral dives.
- Squadron Horn + Villager Pilot: recruit AI wingmen into a V-formation.
- Tail push: approach the tail of an empty plane and hold Shift + Right-Click to wheelbarrow-push it on the ground.
- Worldgen runway structures with loot.

Installation
- Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2 (or newer) and the Fabric API.
- Download the latest peterwolfs_planes-*.jar from Modrinth.
- Place the JAR file into your mods/ folder.
- Launch Minecraft – the biplane item appears in the Creative tab under Peter Wolf’s Planes and can be crafted or given via commands.
Usage
- Equip the Plane item and right‑click to mount.
- Throttle: Use the assigned key (default W/S). Negative throttle triggers wheel brakes on the ground.
- Steering: Move the mouse to control pitch (up/down) and roll (left/right). Yaw is assisted by a small rudder mix.
- HUD: Automatically appears while riding; press H to toggle.
