Create Aeronautics hosting that just boots.

Create Aeronautics is not one mod. It's three — Create 6.0.10, Sable 1.2.2 (a NeoForge port of Flywheel that Create needs at this version) and Create: Aeronautics 1.2.1, all bolted onto NeoForge 1.21.1 and running on Java 21. Get a single version wrong and the server either crash-loops on boot or — worse — boots fine and then desyncs the moment a player assembles an airship contraption.

That's the gap most generic Minecraft hosts leave for the operator to close. Here's the landscape today:

How the rest of the market handles it

• BisectHosting publishes a manual install guide — pick NeoForge, upload jars, edit startup, restart twice. Useful if you want full control. Not great if you just want to play this weekend.
• StickyPiston's Click & Play covers 1,300+ modpacks broadly. Great breadth — but their installer pulls upstream versions, so if Modrinth ships an All of Create — Aeronautics update mid-month, your auto-update window can move under you.
• CreeperHost offers it on their Hybrid VPS modded platform, with pricing that loads dynamically per region — fine when you know the spec you want, harder when you're comparing.
• Apex Hosting and Shockbyte advertise "one-click modpack install" but Create Aeronautics isn't in either's curated one-click list at the time of writing — you're back to manually uploading the server pack.
• ModReady.gg is the closest analogue to us: a specialist host that pre-configures NeoForge 1.21.1 + Java 21 for Aeronautics. Strong setup, US data centres, USD billing.

What we do that fills the gap

1. Version-pinned modpack profile. When you order, our provisioner installs exactly create-1.21.1-6.0.10.jar, sable-neoforge-1.21.1-1.2.2.jar and create-aeronautics-bundled-1.21.1-1.2.1.jar — the combination we've actually booted and flown an airship on. "Reinstall" returns you to that exact state, not a moving upstream pointer.
2. NeoForge + Java 21 baked in. Container image is java_21; startup uses @unix_args.txt (what the NeoForge installer actually produces). You don't pick a Java version. You don't pick a loader. We already did.
3. EU operator, EU billing. Game-server hardware in Germany. Invoices in EUR. EU B2B VAT reverse-charge with a valid VAT number. Dashboard in English or Dutch. See /locations for the current footprint.
4. No drip-pricing. Daily backups, always-on network-level DDoS protection, NVMe storage and SFTP are on the €12.99/mo Stone tier — not paid add-ons. See the tier comparison below.
5. Two billing models. Cancel-anytime monthly subscription, or pay once for 30 days with no recurring charge. Pick whichever matches how your group actually plays. Details on our FAQ.

The short version: most hosts treat Create Aeronautics like any other CurseForge zip. We treat it like a known-good build that should boot in two minutes and stay booted.

If Aeronautics isn't the only thing your community plays, you don't run separate accounts. Switch from a Create airship session to a vanilla survival weekend on Minecraft (Java) Paper — same dashboard, same billing entity, same sub-user permissions.

The full catalogue lives on /games; our broader modded story (CurseForge / Modrinth onboarding, custom modpacks) is on /modpacks. If you need confirmation on EU data residency or VAT handling, /locations and /faq cover the specifics, or drop us a line and we'll answer directly.
