About this project

What does SandStorm add?

SandStorm is a deep planetary survival, industrial tech, and atmospheric terraforming mod for Minecraft(Fabric). Stranded on an arid, inhospitable desert world with failing starship thrusters, you must harness solar radiation, purify underground aquifers, automate production with precision machinery, defend against colossal subterranean sandworms, and terraform barren dunes into lush, self-sustaining oases.

🌌 Lore & Premise

You are an interstellar explorer who crash-landed on an unforgiving desert planet blanketed in centuries-old dunes. Orbital scans failed to detect the planet's apex predators: voracious, colossal Sandworms that hunt by tracking ground vibrations.

Your crash site lies within an emergency Safe Zone where initial seismic dampeners protect you from immediate detection. However, your ship's propulsion core has suffered catastrophic failure—this was a one-way trip. The desert is now your home: master its hostile climate, build an industrial civilization, and restore water and green life to the wasteland.
