Sky Anomalies
by Burkey77
Sky Anomalies adds small meteors that fall from the sky on NeoForge for 1.21.1, and it can be set to spawn them so they do not damage the terrain.
What it does
Meteors can appear in the sky at a configurable rate, and by default they are rare, arriving roughly once every half hour. Spawn settings are adjustable, including the minimum and maximum size of each meteor. Meteors can be set to fall without impacting the ground, so they remain purely visual.
The mod targets NeoForge only, with the 1.0 file for 1.21.1 as its single build. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
The mod is released for 1.21.1 alone, first published on 2026-07-02 and last updated the same day. Among the 3782 Decoration mods with NeoForge files for 1.21.1, it sits in the Decoration category with Adventure as a secondary tag.
