About this Mod
Planetary Diaries - beta v1.0
Hello everyone, I introduce you to my latest mod creation: Planetary Diaries. This mod is a dimension mod you have never seen before! With inspiration of the classic mods Galacticraft & Ad Astro I made a new modern day minecraft style space mod.
Planetary Diaries adds a new space dimension that can be accessed by finding an abandoned spaceship in the Overworld. Once you've found and entered the ship, it will take you to a large space environment made up of multiple planets spread far apart from each other.
You'll need an Elytra to travel between the planets, as each one floats separately in space. So make sure to bring an elytra with you! Every planet features its own set of biomes, structures, and resources. You can expect to find new blocks, tools, armor sets, creatures, and boss fights as you explore. The mod is focused on exploration, progression, and survival across a variety of alien worlds.
If you wanna explore everything for yourself, dont click on the spoilers!
Structures
Here are some structures your gonna find on your journey!
Abandoned Spaceship: The crashed spaceship of the crew. Needed to enter space. Sometimes a infected crewmember will spawn and guard the ship.
Crashed Probes Small, derelict machines scattered across some planets, often containing useful loot or lore-related clues.
Alien Temples Ancient, overgrown ruins with puzzles, traps, and sometimes powerful guardians.
Research Stations Abandoned outposts once used to study planetary life; some still contain valuable equipment or hostile remnants.
Biomes
Crimson Dunes: A desert-like biome with deep red sand, strange rock formations, and rare, heat-adapted plants.
Lumina Forest: A glowing alien forest filled with bioluminescent trees, floating spores, and passive wildlife.
Frosted Expanse: A frozen, icy wasteland with dangerous blizzards and hidden underground caves.
Verdant Crust: A mossy, overgrown biome that feels alive, featuring massive roots and ancient overgrowth.
Obsidian Highlands: A harsh, volcanic biome with flowing lava rivers, black stone terrain, and hostile creatures adapted to heat.
This mod is still in alfa so there could be some bugs. If you see any, pls contact me or one of the other developers of this mod. Thank you!
