Not sure if you're still considering looking into this, but I'm having the same issue as the guy below for 1.20.4--trying to hit any of the levers causes a message that reads "not enough space for your basket"/"not enough space for your balloon" (actually it's typoed as 'enougth' but thats's neither here nor there). The crafting and placing went fine, fueling seems to work well, but I can't get into the air. It's a shame, because I adore mods like this!

ty for telling me ^^
Not rly into datapacks atm tbh. And since mojang apparently changed the way nbt works (and one of my wip datapacks only works cause of how nbt works now) im a bit demotivated to do anything with datapacks ^^

it seems not working in 1.20.4

1. help manual broken(trigger give me manual normally, but text style codes in this book is not working. so basically unreadable.)

2. crafting air balloon and adding fuel has no problem.

3. moving air balloon has a problem. keep saying "not enough space for your basket/balloon" even placed at flat-open space. while this happening, I got "Liftoff" achievement.

4. controlling air balloon in mid-air not tested. I can't make air balloon fly even once.

tested in 1.20.4 vanilla minecraft + world with only this datapack.

Interesting, I was not expecting the entire balloon to be made of display entities, with the basket being real. The movement is cool, right clicking the levers or the central lightning rod to move, but I found a potential glitch, I made a ring of slabs around the levers so I could crouch under then in a 1.5 block tall space, and be able to see where I was going since it's much higher than the basket itself, but placing blocks at the level of the levers allowed it to go up and anywhere horizontally, it wouldn't allow me to go down, saying there was "no room for my balloon".



As for survival friendliness, I think it would be nice if it gave the recipe for auto-filling in the recipe book (even if the output is a knowledge book, because placing and remembering items can be a pain) I can help you with figuring this out if you want.

This technically gives players access to barrier blocks, but it looks like you have sortof countered any "wither cage" designs by making it so if the basket is damaged then it will break after a bit, so that wards that off.

One possible worry is that this technically creates lightning rods, which aren''t a material used to craft them. Perhaps consider a copper block to craft the basket, instead of an iron one?



As for lag, it looks pretty efficient besides the hundreds of entities used for the balloon, the only lag spikes occurred during moving. and is probably from the block placing and moving blocks as well as all the entities and lighting updates.



All in all, a solid pack, really great!

ty for the feedback!

the blocked balloon is something i havent thought off, but i will fix that with the next update ^^
(its just checking the blocks below the balloon, i can just exclude where the basket is)

Auto filling would be possible ig, will also add that with the next update =)

The balloon is made of like 700 entities, so it might lag ^^ But that is better than moving 400 blocks with clone from what i have tested (since no light updates, etc)

The creation of lightning rods is true, but same goes with wood, levers, trapdoors. sure you can dupe blocks, but I'm banking on that just being too much of a hassle to do ^^ Without a custom crafting table or adding just dimaonds or whatever to make it more expensive I cant rly get the cost close to what its "worth"
I will def think about changing the iron to copper tho, that makes a lot of sense =)
