Ad Astra Cargo Rocket [Unofficial]
by ChiyahaRe
Unofficial fork of the Ad Astra cargo rockets, Ad Astra Cargo Rocket [Unofficial] lets a rocket carry items from one planet to another, with the transfer controlled from a computer.
What it does
The mod lets cargo rockets move items across dimensions, which makes transport between planets something that can be automated. It is an unofficial fork of the Ad Astra cargo rockets by BillBodkin, and its source code is public. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so the code can be read, changed and redistributed under those terms.
Automation works through CC:Tweaked. Scripts can name the destination planet, pick the rocket slot and read the inventory of the rocket, using Lua inventory slot indexes that start at 1 to match the conventions of CC:Tweaked. A programming interface exposes calls that start rockets, handle cargo and report energy on a launchpad. Only the Fabric loader is supported, and the mod is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with the latest beta file dated 2026-03-13. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Cargo rocket transport
Cargo rockets carry items between planets, with the destination named in a script or interface.
Computer control API
Calls let a CC:Tweaked computer launch rockets, handle their cargo and report launchpad energy.
Item filtering
A tag can block specified items from launching, and a shulker box can be used to move only a chosen item ID.
Three new rocket tiers
Added rocket tiers differ in how many planets they reach, and higher destinations use more fuel and energy.
