Space
Space brings real-scale outer space into Minecraft, with a playable transition from the world into orbit and the bodies beyond it.
What it does
Space targets Forge and NeoForge. Its files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it requires Valkyrien Skies on both loaders. Because it runs on both the client and the server, every player and the server need the mod installed. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, so redistribution and derivative work are not granted.
The mod focuses on astrophysical systems and true-to-scale space, letting players travel between the planet and space through a smooth transition. Its free rotation and optimized performance are presented as part of the core design. Files were first published on 2026-02-11 and last updated on 2026-10-07, with the latest NeoForge build at 0.5.0 for 1.21.1 in the beta channel.
Key features
Real space in Minecraft
The mod places a realistic space environment into the game world, with celestial bodies rendered at their own scale.
Transition from ground to space
Players move from the world into outer space through a smooth transition rather than a loading screen.
True-to-scale space
Distances and bodies are sized at 1:1, so the solar environment is represented without compressing its proportions.
Astrophysical systems
Orbital and celestial mechanics drive how bodies and ships behave, shaping the flight and travel between them.
