About this project

What does Celestial Exploration add?

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

Milky Way
  • 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!

Moon

  • 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?

Mercury

  • Did those slimes just change size?

Venus

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

Mars

  • 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?

  • More structures coming soon!
OverworldFeatures

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!
