What it does

Planets+ is a datapack that lists extra worlds for Ad Astra to land on. The solar system gains the trojan planet Jada with its moon Diater, plus landing targets Ganymede, Europa, Io, Titan, Enceladus, Iapetus, Pluto and Charon. Two further systems are included so far: Kepler Centauri, with four planets and a dwarf planet, and Kepler 10352, with four planets and a gas giant planned for a later release.

The datapack ships without new blocks, so the ores found on some planets can look mismatched with their surroundings. Before BV1.4, landing on a giant planet of either kind was fatal. The Mod version needs no resource pack because its textures are built in, while the datapack release needs one, supplied in the same file and copied into both the resourcepacks and datapacks folders. Ad Astra is required, and recent builds are needed on 1.20.1. Planets+ is marked as a beta release.

Questions

Does Planets+ need Ad Astra?

Yes. Ad Astra is a required dependency, and Planets+ is installed alongside it on the server.

Does a player need to install Planets+?

No. It is required on the server and optional for players.

Why does the datapack need a resource pack?

The datapack release depends on a resource pack supplied in the same file. Copy it into both the resourcepacks folder and the datapacks folder. The Mod version has its textures built in and needs no separate pack.

Why can some ores look out of place?

The datapack adds no new blocks, so planets reuse existing ores and some end up mismatched with their surroundings.
