[Req] - flight mod that requires fuel

Hi, im requesting a mod that lets members fly, but require fuel such as Coal.

Maybe a player can build a jetpack like thing they wear.
Maybe they could put the coal in their inventory or into the mod, that'll be used up as they fly.

Also maybe the existing boostboots mod would be good, if it only required fuel.

There are many flying mods, but none of them make sense on survival servers. People get unlimited flight with them, but adding a fuel requirement would make it more realistic and work better on survival servers. Not being able to fly at all is just silly, because of course people a re always going to invent a way to fly.

thanks

You're wrong. Spout makes this actually possible.

 

I don't think server side supports flying other than creative mode.

 

Server-side, flying is supported if you change allow-flight to true in server.properties.

I agree a realistic flying mechanism for survival is needed. IndustrialCraft2 has almost exactly what you're looking for: an electric jet pack, which has to be charged before use, and consumes energy during flight. It's also limited in height and not too overpowered. However IC2 requires client mods, so may be unsuitable for your purposes (it doesn't use Spout, and in fact won't work with Spout, only ModLoader). There is a Bukkit port available for 1.1-R4. If you are fine with client mods I highly recommend IC2, it adds a ton of new advanced technology, lots of fun (but maybe more than you want).

Without client mods, that's a different story. I made an attempt at adding not-overpowered flight in EnchantMore with the Boots + Power enchantment = witch's broom (sprint flying) you may want to check out. It doesn't use fuel, but a method of flying which is extremely dangerous, in order to balance otherwise-overpowered flying abilities. Basically, to fly you have to sprint, and continue sprinting throughout the flight. If you stop or hit something you will fall and take normal fall damage. This fall damage can be deadly given the extreme heights you can quickly reach with Boots + Power. While unsafe, it's a lot of fun (as long as you're either very careful or wearing heavy armor!) and I actually prefer it over IC2's jet packs.

Should be possible to add some sort of fuel, how would that work? Furnaces have a fuel slot and time-left indicator, but how would you envision fuel usage from a player's inventory?
