How to Host a Create Aeronautics - Skybound Server (NeoForge 1.21.1)
Create Aeronautics - Skybound is built around Create Aeronautics and its main addons in a floating-islands world — flight-focused Create progression with quests, on NeoForge 1.21.1. Getting the server pack and RAM right the first time matters more here than in a typical Create pack, since the floating-islands world generation and flight mechanics are both unforgiving of a shaky setup.
Start with 8 GB of RAM. That's the recommended floor for Create Aeronautics - Skybound in the catalog, and it's enough headroom for Create's contraption simulation plus the Aeronautics addon stack running alongside the floating-islands world without the server choking on chunk generation.
Import the modpack from a clean source instead of guessing from a client export. Pull the official Create Aeronautics - Skybound server pack directly so every addon version matches what players are running client-side — a mismatched addon build is the single most common cause of broken flight mechanics on launch.
Watch the console through the first boot until it finishes loading cleanly. Confirm Create Aeronautics and its addons register without errors, the floating-islands dimension generates correctly, and the quest system initializes — any of those failing silently on first boot usually means a missing or mismatched addon jar.
Only invite players once that first clean startup is confirmed. Flight-focused Create builds are fragile mid-construction; letting people join before the world and addons are verified stable risks them losing airship work to a crash nobody can roll back cleanly.
Take a backup before importing an existing world, updating NeoForge, or changing addon configs. Skybound progression lives in airship assemblies and quest state built over the floating islands — if a loader update or config change goes wrong, that's what you'd lose without a recent snapshot to restore from.

CoalHost is built around modpack hosting, which makes Create Aeronautics - Skybound much less annoying to launch correctly.
