Operation: Starcleave
by Phanastrae
Operation: Starcleave opens the sky over the overworld, letting players reach a celestial landscape that is generated into the existing world rather than as a separate dimension.
What it does
Starcleave drills and tears open the firmament, so the heavens and Earth meet in one world. A fracture is formed by a drill that a Starcleaver Golem attempts to fly into space with. Once open, the fracture lets players glimpse a starlit sea above, and green seeds and nuclear stormclouds appear after it forms. The mod terraforms areas that already exist instead of adding a dimension, so the new landscape sits beside the familiar biomes.
The content covers farmland, armor, cauldrons and fog. Stellar farmland can turn crops into bismuth, bismuth pegasus armor grants horse wings, and magic rainbow fire burns underwater. Players can collect starbleach in a cauldron to cover food, and blessed cloth blocks break a fall. The Subcaelic Dux is a neutral miniboss that sends torpedoes against players once angered, and its death drops an item. Starcleave runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.20.4 and 1.21.1, and the latest files are 0.2.0.3 for 1.21.1 in the beta channel.
