Description

True Falling Stars

Shooting stars on clear nights, each with a trail that lingers and shrinks away behind it. Most are quick and faint. About one night in five turns into a shower, and now and then a bolide crosses the sky: slow, bright, breaking up as it goes. Client side only. In game and in its files the mod is called Starfall.

Shower nights

  • About one night in five, five times as many stars fall.
  • Every star of a shower comes from the same point in the sky and has the same colour.
  • The night, the point and the colour follow from the world's day count, so everyone on a server gets the same shower with nothing synced.

Bolides

  • Slow, wide and bright: a bolide flies two to three times as long as an ordinary star.
  • It breaks into two or three fragments that burn out on their own, and leaves a glow where it ended.
  • They are rare. "Rare bolides" switches them off.

Colours

  • Six colour families: white-blue for 45 stars in 100, then gold, teal, violet, emerald and rose.
  • Half of the bolides are green. Bright stars shed sparkles along their path.
  • "Coloured stars" off gives plain white. Brightness runs from 20 to 100 percent, 90 by default.

Commands

/starfall status shows what is holding the stars back: how much night there is, the weather, whether tonight is a shower night. /starfall test shows them in daylight for a minute. /starfall star, /starfall bolide and /starfall shower fire them on demand. Nothing falls in rain, in the Nether or in the End.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge or Fabric, Java 17), 1.21.1 (NeoForge or Fabric, Java 21) or 26.2 (NeoForge or Fabric, Java 25). Fabric needs Fabric API. Client only: it works on any server, and under Sodium and Iris shader packs. The settings (frequency from Rare to Busy, brightness, showers, bolides, colours) are a Starfall page in Sodium's video settings on 1.21.1 and 26.2, and config/starfall.json on every build.

This mod has been abandoned. It works fine, but it will not receive updates.
