Per Aspera
by Erdragh
Per Aspera is a Fabric addon for Ad Astra that adds a Jet Suit, Thruster Boots and related space gear for players who travel between planets.
What it does
The Jet Suit is the mod's main item, placed between the existing armor tiers and the Netherite Space Suit. Its hover mode works like an Iron Jetpack, and the suit can be turned off when a player does not want flight. Thruster Boots come before the Jet Suit in progression and give a lighter form of the same movement. Particle effects from the suit can be customized, with a choice among bubbles, end rod and soul fire.
The mod depends on Ad Astra, Fabric API and Forge Config API Port, and all three must be installed alongside it. It is designed for use in the Astral modpack and is aimed at the 1.18.2 Fabric version of that pack. Ad Astra compatibility covers the suit and boots, and the mod adds a bugfix for lava converted to ice when placed in space. Because the environment is client and server, servers and every player need it installed.
Per Aspera is published for Fabric 1.18.2 only. Its code is open source under the MIT License, and the public source repository and issue tracker are linked from the project page. The latest file is 1.4.2-build.55+mc1.18.2, dated 2023-10-16, and the mod was first published on 2023-03-02.
Key features
Jet Suit with hover mode
The Jet Suit offers a hover mode similar to Iron Jetpacks, and it can be switched off when the player wants to stop flying.
Thruster Boots
Thruster Boots act as the precursor tier to the Jet Suit and provide a lighter form of the same thrust movement.
Customizable particles
The suit's particle effect can be chosen as bubbles, end rod or soul fire, so players can pick a look that suits their build.
Space lava fix
Lava placed in space that converts to ice is corrected, a bugfix that matters when working on planets with Ad Astra.
