About this Mod
Planets+ Adds more to the stars and maybe beyond
Planets+ adds multiple planets, moons, and star systems.
How to play
This is a datapack. To install datapacks, follow this tutorial.
(If you use 1.20.1 you must use Ad Astra 1.15.18 and up. Sometimes you need to install it manually since it's marked as a beta version.)
Notes
The datapack requires a resource pack. This can be found as a second downloadable file from the latest version (Before B1.7). (After 1.7) The datapack requires a resource pack its included in the same file as the datapack so copy it to both the resourcepacks folder and datapacks folder.
The Mod verison doesn't require to load a resourcepack its built in

Extras!
What's currently in Planets+?
There is a trojan planet in the solar system named Jada, with a moon named Diater. Ganymede, Europa, Calisto, Io, Titan, Enceladus, Iapetus, Pluto and Charon are all also available to land on. There are two other systems at the moment.
Kepler Centauri is in the constellation Centaurus and has 4 planets orbiting it. Their names are Vulcan, Fierer, Ronxys and Gaila as well as a dwarf planet, Dytiona.
Kelper 10352 has 4 planets named Graze, Unity, Glacies and Eclipsa. A Gas Giant is coming later.
Disclaimer
Before BV1.4, if you land on a gas giant or an ice giant you die.
Due to datapack limitations, there are no new blocks. This means sometimes you might find mismatched ores from different planets.
All Gas Giant textures in the solar system are from Ad Astra
