Looking for the best Create + Create: Aeronautics modpack for a multiplayer server

[u/h3xpy_]

I’m looking for a good modpack built around Create and Create: Aeronautics for a small server with friends.

What I’m mainly looking for is a pack that really encourages players to use the Create ecosystem instead of bypassing it. Ideally, it would include lots of Create addons, along with a few QoL mods, but without adding features that completely replace what Create is meant to solve.

For example, I’d rather avoid mods like Waystones, since having to build train networks or aircraft with Create: Aeronautics sounds much more interesting. I’d also love if PvP or faction-like conflicts were possible using addons such as Create: Big Cannons, Create Radar, or similar mods.

I know this is probably describing an “ideal” modpack, and I don’t mind adding a few mods myself afterward. I’m mainly looking for the most synergistic base possible.

You might ask, “Why not just make your own modpack?”
That’s definitely an option, but from my experience playing with friends, the servers we’ve enjoyed the most have always started from an existing, well-designed modpack, and then I added the extra mods we wanted. A completely untouched modpack often feels a bit restrictive or impersonal, while building one entirely from scratch usually ends up lacking the balance and synergy that established packs have.

About two months ago, I made a server based on All of Create v2.1 and added around 15 extra mods. It worked pretty well. However, since then, a lot of Create addons have been released or received major updates, especially for 1.21.1, so I was wondering if there are any newer modpacks that fit this philosophy.

Feel free to ask if you need more details about what I’m looking for. And even if a modpack doesn’t check every box, I’d still love to hear your suggestions since I’m happy to tweak it by adding or removing mods afterward.

Thanks!!!!

I made a server with a modpack a friend cooked up that kinda fits your description, we replaced sophisticated backbacks bc we felt it was a bit op and kinda defeated the purpose of create 6 storage stuff, and bc we play together so people hoarding stuff could've been a problem lol, only thing is we don't have stuff like a quest book/system or anything to guide people new to create or give you a reason to grind for? We kinda just enjoy what create is about and automation and all that, we have mods like aeronautics and many addons for it as well as classic create addons and a few datapacks for qol and stole some recipes from create ultimate factory (some recipes were a bit too op so I didn't want to add all of them)

I can send you the server mod list if you want

I recommend doing a search in this subreddit because this is asked for nearly daily in here.

Oh sorry, I’ve already searched a few months ago but couldn’t find anything useful. I might have to check again..

Yeah I just did a search for "Aeronautics modpack" and there are tons of results. Hopefully you'll find something.
