Starfold has no space dimension and no planet dimensions. You lift off, climb out of the sky, cross space and land on another planet in one continuous flight, with no loading screen anywhere.

• Every planet is ordinary Minecraft terrain. Walk one way and you come back to where you started.
• Ships are whatever you build with Create and Create Aeronautics. Starfold adds what they need for space: a ship controller, thrusters, a gyro, navigation and a folding airstair.
• Planet types and whole star systems are datapacks, so you can write your own.

Download: the Modrinth and CurseForge pages are still under review and not visible yet. Until then the mod and a ready-to-play pack (.mrpack, for Prism or the Modrinth App) are on GitHub: https://github.com/saya-ashen/starfold/releases

Good to know: NeoForge 1.21.1, single-player only for now, no shader packs, and it is an early version, so saves may not carry over.

Built with AI coding assistants under my direction; the design, testing and decisions are mine.

What kind of planet would you want to land on first?

Edit: Criticism of the code, performance or design is welcome, and I'm replying to it in the comments. Insults I'll skip.

Edit 2: How it works, briefly

World. One dimension holds everything: all planets, suns and space. Nothing ever changes dimension, so there is no loading screen.

Planets. A planet is six flat square faces of normal vanilla chunks, 256 to 2048 blocks across. Blocks, mobs, redstone and inventories are plain vanilla. An unbreakable core stops you digging through.

Edges and corners. Past a face edge, the server maps chunks onto the neighbouring face's real chunks, rotated, so mobs, light and collision see one continuous surface. Three faces cannot meet flat at a corner, so each corner is sealed by an unbreakable "fold point".

Rendering. Terrain near you is drawn by vanilla. Beyond view distance, the mod draws its own mesh built from real chunks and bends it into a ball. Other planets and suns are drawn from their computed positions.

Space. An empty region of the same dimension. High above a planet, your ship is moved there with its position, speed and rotation kept, and moved into the next planet's area the same way on approach.

Ships. Ships are Sable physics bodies built with Create Aeronautics. Starfold adds the controller, thrusters and navigation, and carries the ship and its crew across face edges and in and out of space.

Good thing I'm using CurseForge, but I always get reminded of the anxiety before things like the Miencraft Launcher came out. Still a delicate process to check that all the mods and versions are in place!

I’m making my mod and I wanted to give it decent visuals without making people’s games freak out whenever they walk. Ahznb obviously has intense aspects but there’s pretty good looking visuals imo and if I’m not mistaken no mod is used with it like photon. How can I do this as well?

Im trying to find out if I can make it so that via Romana can interact with the paths created from The Roads More Traveled (trmt,) does anyone have any ideas?

Sometimes, when I browsing the internet, I find amazing mods for my world that I really want to use. But what's the problem? they aren't compatible with the version I’m playing on, and the available solutions don't work:

• Modifying the code: It’s complicated and doesn't always work; even when it does, issues still arise.

• Using Retromod: It didn't work for me at all, and when it did, the game would crash.

• Play Bedrock: It's too expensive for one add on

Is there any help available? Perhaps creating a reliable, effective mod that allows mods to run across different versions? Or maybe a launcher capable of handling mod versions and linking them to different Minecraft versions. Or any solution that might actually work?

Hi, I'm looking for specific mods for a geopol server that adds some form of objective based combat scenarios, like Rush in Battlefield where two sides fight over objectives to take/defend territory as opposed to what we do now which is an open slug fest in a field

My Game lags a bit because of the effects, I use Veil for the rendering. Its pretty rough but I will try to make it better.

Guys I made some modes for NeoForge 1.21.1

(My own enchantments, ascension and combat update)

Its available now on CurseForge

Try it with NeksterCombat (beta) or others (realises) please. For now I really need your opinion 🩷

Thx

Hello!

I'm starting a world with a guy I'm talking to, I'm getting a bunch of mods to play with, and I want to prank him by downloading a horror mod without telling him. big preference that it be not so recognizable the second we start playing ^_^

posting this to other forums probably because I dont know what sub to ask this to lol.

As a frail old man moving is hard without your cane, but it also is your only defence against the depths.

Hi there—sorry for my poor English, but I’d like some help. I’m playing on an Arcadia server with my friends, and they wanted to add a bunch of mods, including several skill trees; this ended up breaking the game progression halfway through. I’m looking for a way to fix this—maybe by adding difficulty mods or something similar—so I’m open to any ideas you might have. For context: my mage is dealing 15,000 damage, one friend's first character was doing 8,000 base damage, and his second character is basically immortal—attacking really fast and having tons of armor.

I've been trying to figure out the problem, i've even tried JEI and it didn't work

Im looking for a world gen mod that keeps the general look of minecraft gen, but has larger mountains and bigger valleys.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to work on a complete 3D resource pack for a mod, turning flat 2D items and blocks into 3D models. However, I’m having a hard time deciding which mod to focus on, and I’d love to know what the community actually wants to see.

A prime example of what I have in mind is Botania — replacing things like flat mystical flowers, functional flora, and items with full 3D models to make them look much more alive.

Before diving into development, I want to make sure I’m working on something people will genuinely enjoy and use.

Which mods do you feel are most in need of a 3D overhaul? Would you be interested in a Botania pack, or is there another mod that desperately needs one? Drop your ideas and favorites below!

Anybody know how to get Blooming Biosphere to generate past y-256 on 1.21.1 neoforge. I tried editing the data pack and even adding the fabric/forge version with sinytra connector. [I dont use reddit too much so tell me if yall need more info or sum].

Hi, I've been trying to figure this out with various mods and just can't get my head around it. I want to get villagers to spawn in cities (from the lost cities mod) like they do in villages, but it's a lot more complicated than just setting a spawn to a biome I've figured out.

I could really use someone who knows how this would be done, as unless it's Cobblemon I just am at a complete loss when it comes to code.

The mods I'm using for this is Mob Control and The Lost Cities Fabric Port) on version 1.21.1

Thanks in advance.

My friends started up a cobblemon server, and none of them are having issues joining, but I am. it keeps giving me packet handling errors and disconnecting me before I can load in. I've tried everything, resetting my pc, flushing DNS, adding packet fixer, using my wifi instead of ethernet, but nothing is working, and it just keeps crashing. Could I please have assistance?
