About this Mod

Celestia

Celestia adds synchronized shooting stars, meteor showers, wishes, and subtle astronomical events to Minecraft's night sky. Every meteor is decided by the server and sent to nearby clients, so players in the same world see the same star cross the sky at the same time.

Features

  • Guaranteed shooting stars every night.
  • Sporadic stars from any direction in the sky.
  • Meteor showers with a shared radiant and natural variation.
  • Optional Slow mode for calmer skies on servers or singleplayer.
  • Moon phases affect star frequency and subtle color bias.
  • Make a wish when a star crosses near the center of your view.
  • Luck I for 60 seconds when making a wish, limited to once per Minecraft night per player.
  • Advancements for seeing stars, making a wish, completing a shower, and using astronomy/debug tools.
  • Special cyan/violet stars in The End.
  • Cinematic photographic trail mode with adaptive FPS-based sample reduction.
  • Configurable client-side active star limit.
  • Localized config screen: English, Spanish (Spain), and Spanish (Mexico).
  • Sodium/Iris-friendly: no mixins, no renderer replacement.

Maximum mode

How It Works

Celestia schedules stars for each Minecraft night. This prevents empty nights while still keeping the timing random and natural.

Normal sporadic stars can come from any direction. Meteor showers are different: they last for a while and many stars share a similar direction, like a real meteor shower radiant.

Wishing

If a shooting star crosses close to the center of your screen while you are looking at the sky, Celestia triggers a small visual and sound effect. The server then grants Luck I for 60 seconds.

This reward is limited to once per Minecraft night per player, so it feels special without being easy to farm.

Server config:

config/celestia-server.properties

Modo Maximum

Como funciona

Celestia agenda estrellas para cada noche de Minecraft. Esto evita noches vacias, pero mantiene los momentos de aparicion aleatorios y naturales.

Las estrellas normales pueden venir desde cualquier direccion. Las lluvias de meteoros funcionan distinto: duran un rato y muchas estrellas comparten una direccion parecida, como un radiante real.

Pedir un deseo

Si una estrella fugaz cruza cerca del centro de tu pantalla mientras miras al cielo, Celestia activa un pequeno efecto visual y sonoro. Luego el servidor otorga Suerte I durante 60 segundos.

Esta recompensa esta limitada a una vez por noche de Minecraft por jugador, para que se sienta especial sin ser facil de farmear.

Opciones importantes de cliente:
