Asteroid Craft
by scaredchaos
Asteroid Craft turns the overworld's endless void into a field of floating spheres, with asteroids that can be explored for rare mineral cores.
What it does
Asteroid Craft changes overworld generation so that the open void holds floating asteroid spheres. Some asteroids carry structural ruins, rare mineral cores, rebuilt houses linked by wooden bridges, and villages with working villagers, wells and crop plots. Sand and gravel ruins hold suspicious sand and gravel that a brush can recover pottery sherds from. The End is reached through a dedicated end-portal asteroid, because regular strongholds are disabled and the End itself is left unmodified vanilla, and an eye of ender still points the way.
The mod runs on the server, so players can join without installing it. It applies to new worlds only, since it overrides Overworld and Nether generation when a world is created, and it can conflict with other mods that change world generation dimensions, so pairing it with those is not advised. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 26.1 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. The author is actively adding more asteroid types and expects to keep expanding the content.

What the author says
AsteroidCraft replaces the Overworld with an endless void of floating asteroids. Instead of continuous terrain, the world is made of countless separate spheres hanging in empty space — each one a small world to mine, bridge to, and build on. It recreates the classic Planetoids map generator by Seibei as a real mod…
