PlanetRing
by ___PEAPOD___
PlanetRing puts rings back on Saturn and Uranus in the sky layer of Galacticraft and ExtraPlanets, visible from the surface and from space stations.
What it does
Galacticraft and ExtraPlanets show Saturn and Uranus without rings, which the author found unlike how these planets look. PlanetRing adds rings to both planets, with original ring textures. From the surface the rings sit in the sky layer above the ground, and from inside a space station they can be seen as the station passes the planet. The mod is meant for players who travel through space in the Galacticraft modpack and want more atmosphere during those trips.
PlanetRing needs Galacticraft and ExtraPlanets, plus a few lightweight extra dependencies beyond them. It is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.12.2, with version 1.1.0 as the latest file from 2026-06-03. The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features

Rings in the sky layer
From the planet's surface the rings appear in the sky, so they stay visible while standing on the ground.
Visible from space stations
Rings can also be seen from inside space stations orbiting the planets.
Original ring textures
The ring art is drawn in a custom style rather than reused from other sources.

What the author says
In the default Galacticraft + ExtraPlanets experience these planets and their stations have no rings visible from the ground or space station. This mod fixes that If you've ever landed on Saturn or Uranus in Galacticraft you may have noticed that despite being known as ringed planets their skies are completely empty…
