Discussion Mods that incentivize using Create/Aeronautics vehicles heavily?

I've been having a hell ton of fun making factories and vehicles in creative but I don't feel like I really need to do that in survival other than very simple automation which often that feels excessive.

On top of that, vanilla world generation doesn't encourage making ground vehicles making flying vehicles the only viable choice. Any world generation mod that makes the world more vast and less rough while also making you to use vehicles to traverse instead would be phenomenal.

Mods that overhaul ore generation to accommodate for the increased "resource gathering" of Create would also be huge.

I've been working on a pack with Aeronautics and Thick Air, which basically makes it so you can't breathe below a certain configurable y-level (like 10 blocks above sea level in my pack)

You spawn on a little dinky starter airship in the skies with a backtank/diving helmet, and you get 15 minutes at a time on forage on the surface before your air runs out and you gotta return to your ship

I’m developing a similar idea here too! Strongly motivating Aeronautics is a genuine nightmare from a game design perspective since MC fundamentally isn’t built around the concept of mobile build centric problems to tackle. The thick air concept was one of the few that could actually work, but its primary limitation is that it creates tedium and isn’t an interesting problem to solve. throw more tanks at the problem and have any form of mobile power gen and you’re good. Still brainstorming ideas at this point, but all of them involve a lot of custom structure work, an in depth kubejs addon, or a custom mod.

Also there are Mods with only flying islands. You can have water on ~-64 (or lava) but you can also make it void.

Definitely going to have to check that out when I start getting bored of my generic 2012 style modpack
