A simple space exploration mod that includes all the planets in the solar system as well as additional fictional planets, plenty of dungeons, and bosses. This mod also has additional building blocks. From plasma guns to jetpacks this mod has many items that the player can use to survive the harsh environment of space. With thousands of bug monsters on the moon or hundreds of martians and their leader there is a lot in space that could kill you and a lot of great rewards, but to do it all you must find labs on the surface of earth and claim the pocket planets...

Known bugs

Moons and the Sun disappear when it is raining in the overworld

Weird interactions with the jetpack and levetatium block

May not work in multiplayer

how did you add the custom sun/moon

to change the texture of other moons and suns you have to use a add-on called world renderer, there's extensive tutorials on how to use it by the creator of world renderer

dose it work on 2024.2?

i'm not sure but you can check the World Renderer add-on page

Wait, I CAN GO TO PLUTO??? This mod is an absolute masterpiece!

can you add more to the description

Added change log, anything more specific you'd like me to add?

Can you add the James Webb Space Telescope or something similar? How that would work or be useful, I have no idea, bot I hope to have given you some inspiration.

i thought about adding a earth orbit dimension that you could build and find satellites in, but it never happened, maybe in a update ill add it

Or you could add other more obscure worlds in the solar system, such as Make Make, Haumea, Triton, Mimas...
If you want you could also add gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn and specialized "submarine" probes to explore them.

I thought about adding the major moons of the gas giants, like titan with special rain and "oil" lakes, or Io with a ton of volcanoes but i thought that there was enough worlds to see and that more dimensions would just bloat the mod I think, maybe Ill add them if I can come up with unique and interesting enough reasons to visit these worlds

I also thought a bit about solutions to avoid making mods that occupate over 20 MB of space, an one solution is to "split" mods, basically making add-ons to your own mods. Although, I don't have a clue how to do that

I also know that some people make a MCreator page for their mods and then host the file on another website, but I've never tried it either

Ultimately, I think you should not be too careful about that.
My old mod, "ElFungo's Mobs", is absolutely gigantic, completely filled with random features that no one asked for, and yet it doesn't exceed the 20 MB limit.

yeah ill think about it, but its unnecessary rn
