About this project
What does Orbital Architect add?
Orbital Architect is a modular building mod for Minecraft Java. Choose a room blueprint, preview the connection in 3D, then supply the Orbit with materials and Forge Energy (FE) to build it in Survival.
Features
- Connect domes with corridors, 4×4 airlocks and cable galleries.
- Assign construction drones with tier upgrades. They return to their docks as the battery runs low and recharge to 100% before resuming work.
- Use the room map to teleport, request selective repairs or replace registered roof, floor and wall blocks.
- Link supply terminals to storage and track materials, energy and the reserve.
Installation
Minecraft Java 1.21.1, Java 21 and NeoForge 21.1.265 or later in the 21.1 series. Install the same JAR on the client and server for multiplayer. Applied Energistics 2 is optional. Compatible FE sources can power the Orbit, including Powah generators.
Start by placing an Orbit altar and opening its planner. The U key opens the travel map inside a completed room.
Support
Read the installation and gameplay guide. Report bugs or suggest improvements through GitHub Issues. English and Portuguese are welcome.
