Astrocraft Lite
by pymsrps
Astrocraft Lite adds real-life constellations and a night sky of more than 2500 celestial points to Minecraft, along with planets and sky rotation.
What it does
Astrocraft Lite replaces the plain night sky with a map of real constellations, drawn from more than 2500 real celestial points. The sky keeps a style close to vanilla, with some points shining reddish and others blue, and planets and sky rotation are added as well. The lighter build drops most of the full Astrocraft features in exchange for better compatibility and performance. Files are available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.20 – 1.21.1, and the mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
