Robin's Outer Wilds
by thatrobin
Robin's Outer Wilds is a Fabric world generation mod that recreates a looping, small-planet solar system inspired by the game Outer Wilds.
What it does
The mod is a prototype that brings features of Outer Wilds into Minecraft, using systems similar to those in the game to build a dynamic solar system. Each planet turns the overworld into a non-Euclidean looping cube, so the whole world repeats a 6 by 32 by 32 chunk area that looks like a flat plain. Players who build up and leave a planet float away into a weightless setting, where they can steer themselves in any direction. The mod runs on client and server, and its Fabric file for 1.20.2 is dated 2025-05-16. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
