What it does

Worlds created with the mod contain planetoids, small landmasses that can be configured for spawn chance. The floor below the planets can be set to water, empty space or void, so the sky-island layout suits survival, sky and skyblock play. The author notes list stone and wood variants as configurable planet types, with possible special types and planetoids in the Nether or End dimensions still listed as ideas rather than confirmed features.

Spawning of villages and strongholds is also addressed in the author text. Planetoid is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything, and the mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Files exist for Forge 1.7.2 and 1.7.10, and the latest file is 0.9.10 for 1.7.10, published 2022-03-31. The source code and issue tracker are public.
