MS_Meteorites
by ORte
MS_Meteorites adds meteorite impacts to Fabric worlds, with sky flashes, glowing trails and craters that form where each one lands.
What it does
Meteorites fall from the sky at custom flight paths and descent angles, leaving glowing particle trails in several sizes as they streak across the sky. The mod adds visual effects such as sky flashes so that an impact is visible from a distance.
On impact a meteorite goes through three cooling stages, with its own meteorite blocks, and smashes through terrain on its way down. Terrain carving respects block hardness, so softer ground gives way while harder blocks stay in place. Massive irregular craters form at the impact site, and major impacts can open underground cavities beneath them.
The mod is a client and server mod: the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across six game versions 1.21.5 – 1.21.10, and the latest file is nv1.1 for 1.21.10, dated 2026-01-07. The code is released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Sky flashes and trails
Meteorites appear with sky flashes and glowing particle trails that streak across the sky in multiple sizes.
Three cooling stages
Each impact passes through three cooling stages, and the meteorite blocks that remain change with each stage.
Terrain destruction
Meteorites smash through terrain, digging several layers deep, with carving that follows the hardness of each block.
Craters and cavities
Impacts leave massive irregular craters, and major impacts can form cavities underground beneath the crater.
Chunk loading in flight
Forced chunk loading keeps a meteor loaded while it is in flight, so it does not vanish partway down.

How it compares
Moonstone Meteorites is the closest alternative: it runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under a custom license, and the server is required while the client is optional. Meteors is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 26.3, and has the same server-required, client-optional environment. MS_Meteorites is Fabric-only and client-and-server, so every player on a server that runs it needs the mod too.
