Ad Astra: Planetary Swapper
by Doenergepard
Planetary Swapper, a Forge item added by Ad Astra: Planetary Swapper, lets players travel between planets without building a rocket, and Ad Astra: Planetary Swapper is the required companion for it.
What it does
Right-clicking the item opens a travel screen in place of the usual rocket launch, so the player can leave orbit and move to another planet without a rocket. The item carries a durability of 64 and enters a cooldown after each use, so each trip draws down its uses before the cooldown applies.
The item is only obtainable after the player reaches Glacio, the final planet in the Ad Astra progression, which the balancing of the mod requires. Its crafting recipe is shown in the gallery of the project page. Ad Astra: Planetary Swapper needs Ad Astra to function, and the two are used together on the same world.
The mod is listed under Transportation, with secondary categories Technology, Utility and Equipment. It is a Forge build for 1.20.1 only, first published and last updated on 2024-12-14, and it is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. A public issue tracker is available for reports.
