Simple Space

Simple Space

Space without a new dimension. The top of your own Overworld becomes space, so anything you drop or fire from orbit lands on your real terrain below. Made for Create Aeronautics space stations, but it works on its own too.

What it does
- Taller Overworld: the build limit goes from Y 319 up to Y 2031. Terrain generation doesn't change, there's just a lot more sky.
- Space sky: from Y 640 the sky fades to black, thousands of stars appear, the sun becomes a sharp white disc and a thin blue glow of atmosphere sits on the horizon. Rain and snow stop up there.
- Low gravity: players and mobs get lighter the higher they go, down to 15% in full space, and fall damage shrinks with it.
- Thin air: with Create Aeronautics, propellers and balloons barely work high up. Ships get lighter and stop losing speed to air drag, so they coast. Levitite stations still hang perfectly still at any height.
- See the ground from orbit: the view distance is pushed out in space, so you can see all the way down from a high station, and up to it from the ground.
- Altitude readout: your height and gravity are shown in the corner while you're in space.

Works great with Create: Rotary Railgun: park a station in orbit, type in coordinates and fire at the ground below.

Good to know
- Use a new world, or back up your world first. Existing worlds work too, but if you remove the mod later, anything built above Y 319 is lost.
- Create Aeronautics is optional. Without it, ships aren't affected but everything else works.
- Another mod or datapack that changes the Overworld's height will conflict with this one.
- Heights, gravity and sky settings can be changed in the config.
