More Planets
by SteveKunG
More Planets brings extra planets to Galacticraft, each with its own environment and surface conditions, for space exploration on Forge.
What it does
Galacticraft-Legacy is the base this add-on requires, and it also needs MixinBooter. Both must be present, alongside SteveKunG's Lib, before the new planets become reachable. The mod works with Forge only, and its files cover Minecraft 1.7.10, 1.8.9, 1.10.2 and 1.12.2, with 2.4.1-forge for 1.12.2 as the latest file, dated 2025-10-29.
Each added planet has an environment of its own, so the way a world looks and behaves differs from the stock Galacticraft planets. The mod is installed in the mods folder of the Minecraft directory, and the Minecraft Forge version must match the game version that is played. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional and can be added for recipe lookup. The code is open source under the MIT License, and both the source and the issue tracker are public.
Key features
Additional planets
New worlds are added to the Galacticraft space map, each one with unique terrain and conditions.
Unique environments
Every planet has its own atmosphere and surface, so travel between them presents different challenges.
Galacticraft integration
The planets are reached through the existing Galacticraft space travel system rather than a separate dimension tool.
Source code available
The source and the issue tracker are public, so problems can be reported and the code can be read.

Use cases
Space progression
Players working through a Galacticraft world can keep going after the stock planets by visiting the added ones.
Modded server packs
Server owners who already run Galacticraft can add More Planets to extend the space content for all players.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Galacticraft-Legacy and want more planets to explore, and server owners who run that base on Forge 1.12.2 or an earlier listed version.
How it compares
ExtraPlanets is a Forge add-on for 1.7.10 – 1.12.2 that is also client and server, but it is closed under All rights reserved, so its code cannot be read. Interstellar: Exoplanets is Forge-only for 1.12.2, runs on client and server, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Galaxy Space covers 1.12.2 with the same environment and is not open source.
