I've been out of Minecraft for a while and on an impulse decided to rent a 6 slot server for my buddies and I to use from Multicraft. I love the server, it's very stable and reliable, and I was super excited to start adding mods until I realized I couldn't add the awesome helicopter mod or airship mod to the server.
Unless I'm doing something wrong, it can't be done. Bukkit doesn't appear to have anything like this available, I hear it is because it requires some kind of investment no one has taken the dive to make or that it requires a different kind of client to run. No matter the reason, I'd love to be wrong, has anyone heard if Mojang is considering airships officially?
It seems like a no-brainer to add for a game like Minecraft and I've been playing since shortly before the Nether was introduced, yet here we are without such an awesome feature. Come on Mojang, what's the deally?
Well I linked to the official pages of both mods. Kindd of self-explanatory. One had a helicopter that could ascend, descend and move with regular wasd. The other is a steampunk looking ship which looks like a boat with two motors on the sides with propellers and a balloon overhead. Pretty nifty stuff. I don't usually play with mods, but these two are great and really make exploring feel fresh.

Glad you responded! Personally I think that the glider would work better then a helicopter, but the airship, with some changes to make it more for vanilla could pass.
