Lunar Phase | Custom Overworld for the Lunar Phase SMP

by kanokarob

Lunar Phase reshapes the overworld into a moon-like surface where craters, meteorites, alien dungeons and redesigned space villages replace the standard terrain, built for the Lunar Phase SMP.

What it does

Players who explore a world with Lunar Phase find a lunar surface that is rich with natural and artificial features. Many biomes are marked by craters, and some craters hold the remains of meteorites that yield raw ore. Metal salvage from rockets, moon rovers and radio antennas generates across the surface of most biomes, and the ores themselves stay in their vanilla form but sit a little deeper, so digging to reach the stone layer takes more effort.

The mod also changes life and structures. Space villages are redesigned with builds provided by emchmu, dungeons are replaced by alien versions with several spawners and more chests, and horses spawn on end stone. Applying bonemeal to grass blocks in this world scatters flowers chosen by noise, resembling the flowers of vanilla Minecraft. The world generation is distributed as a data pack and is tied to the Lunar Phase SMP, which was part of emchmu's 30 Day SMP series, a survival world played by over 50 Minecraft creators for only 30 real days.

The mod requires a server and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files covering 26.1.2 – 26.3 and 1.1+mod for 26.3 as the latest release. It is not open source and is distributed under a custom license.
