Description
A mod for exploring beyond our own planet and into the outer reaches of space!
This is not meant to be a hyper-realistic mod! My goal was to keep the general style and gameplay of vanilla Minecraft the best I could, but with outer space. And some creative liberties, of course.
This is mod is still being updated! Sometimes updates might take a while though.

Features

- A full, visitable dimension! Enjoy flying through space in a spaceship and reach for the stars!
- Visit planets by approaching the appropriate structure in the spaceship
- Build a space station on the asteroid belt, featuring all-new space station blocks!

- Can you win the space race and be the first to reach the moon?
- Find research tunnels, abandoned lunar colonies, and more!
- Is that sand glowing?

- Did those slimes just change size?

- Check out the planet that’s the nether of space! But watch out for that sulfur…
- New features coming soon

- Find research tunnels, abandoned martian colonies, and more!
- Explore and fight your way through the new Martian Labyrinth dungeon! And can you find all the new tamable creatures?

- Explore Jupiter and it’s 4 Galilean moons (Europa, Callisto, Io, and Ganymede)
- More structures coming soon!

- Experience the new crafting mechanic—the workbench! Craft your own spaceship, space suits, and more!
- Enjoy decorating with the new ceramic and painted ceramic blocks!
- Trade with the two new villager professions!

FAQ
Will you add in X feature?
Check out the wiki to see what things I’m currently working on and adding in! To make requests, submit an issue on the Github. I can not guarantee any requests will be added, but they will be considered!
I found a bug. Where do I submit it?
Submit an issue on the Github!
Will you update the 1.16.5 version? / Will you do any backports?
No, sorry.
Will you update to 1.19+?
Maybe. Right now my focus is on fully completing the 1.18.2 version. After that, we’ll see about an updated version…
What about a port to Fabric/Quilt/etc?
No, sorry.
Is Pluto a planet? Will Pluto get its own dimension? What about exoplanets/dwarf planets/etc?
Check out the wiki to see what my plan is for the mod, but right now, my focus is on the main solar system. If I make it past that, I do think it’d be fun to add in other planets!
In the mean time, check out the datapack planet system to add your own planet!
