✨ Features
- Aerial AI: Custom AI logic allows mobs to fly aircraft, perform strafing runs, use rotary cannons, drop bombs, and dogfight with players.
- Natural Ambushes: While exploring the world, you may be ambushed by a roaming squadron of Illager aircraft.
- Structure Spawning: Pillager Outposts now spawn with parked aircraft and can launch defensive squadrons when players get too close.
- Raid Integration: Vanilla Village Raids are significantly harder! From Wave 3 onwards, the Illagers will call in air support.
- Configuration: Every aspect of the spawning logic, from squad sizes to ammunition counts, is fully configurable.
