Ponder tutorials
Install PonderJS 1.21.1-2.4.0 on your client to enable the optional tutorials. The mod works without PonderJS. The scenes come with Aeronautics: Fly by Instruments; no script installation is needed.
Hover a supported item in your inventory and hold the Ponder key shown by Create (W by default). Select a scene and use Ponder’s pause, replay and chapter controls. Change Minecraft’s language to switch between English and Brazilian Portuguese. Wiring View instructions show your configured key.

If the Ponder prompt is missing
Check that PonderJS is installed for Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge, restart the client, and hover one of the listed items. Create’s Controls settings determine the Ponder key.
