Beyond Earth (Forge)
by MrScautHD
Beyond Earth lets players leave the surface, with five planets and moons across two solar systems, each with its own rocket tiers, rovers and survival needs.
What it does
Players travel to the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury and Glacio using rockets, with four rocket tiers in total. Generators, refineries and workbenches are built on other worlds so a player can stay there, and the mod adds more than 100 blocks for that work. Rovers carry players across the surface between structures.
Survival on these worlds depends on oxygen management and a custom gravity system that changes how the player moves and jumps. The mod is listed under Technology, with Adventure and World generation as secondary categories. Its files target Forge for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, and the latest file is 7.0-PRERELEASE for 1.20.1 on the beta channel.
Beyond Earth runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under a custom license and is not open source. Star Wars Planets requires the mod. A wiki is linked from the project page for the feature list and setup notes.
