Starry Skies

Starry Skies generates a never-ending dimension made of floating planetoids, each one a sphere suspended in open sky. The design revives the planetoid world generator first seen in an early Minecraft Beta build and revised for modern versions. The dimension is reached through a portal that is lit with flint and steel on Fabric and Quilt, or with a wind charge on NeoForge, and the Starry Sky counterpart of each vanilla dimension is entered the same way vanilla dimensions are.

The spheres are filled with ores and dungeons, and the mod places vanilla-style structures such as dungeons, strongholds and end cities across the planetoids. Lava and falls are real hazards here, so a careless player can burn or drop into the void. A wooden sphere placed near x 16, y 90, z 16 is a common starting point for new worlds. Mod support is broad, and a data pack can replace vanilla dimension generation with Starry Skies altogether.

Starry Skies requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API. It is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 19 release versions, 1.16.4 – 26.2, and snapshot builds are published. The code is open source under the MIT License.
