Operation: Starcleave
... this mod is about Reaching for the Stars and the Unification of Heaven and Earth.
Overview
This mod functions similarly to a dimension mod, but without creating a separate dimension.
Instead, you can transform existing areas of your world into Celestial Landscapes by triggering a series of theoretically controlled quasi-natural disasters.
Marvel at incredible sights, meet your new neighbors, and plunder the terrain for valuable resources...
... all from the convenience of your backyard!
Note: tearing open the heavens in your backyard or near anything valuable is not recommended.
Beginning: When the Heavens Broke
It all began with the Starcleaver Golem. Equipped with a drilling rig, jetpack, and built-in storage, it was supposed to be the perfect autonomous asteroid miner...
Alas, the Golem never reached its goal. As we watched it soar into Space, it encountered some kind of Resistance From Above...
... and we could only watch as the Heavens tore apart.
The air filled with opalescent haze. Under this alien starlight, the land was Bleached.
As the ground twisted beneath our feet, we saw the grass painted in a magnificent sickly yellow color, and the trees frozen in a lifeless sheen.
Our world was drenched in Rainbow Hues...
... and a hint of Nuclear Green.
Main Features
Operation: Starcleave adds the following key elements:
-
Starcleaver Golem: By placing a Netherite Pumpkin on a block of Crying Obsidian, you create a batch of Starcleaver Golems. Filling one with A Few Pieces of Gunpowder and lighting its fuse with Flint and Steel, it will soar towards the heavens...
-
Firmament Fractures: Formed by the drill of a Starcleaver Golem when it attempts to break through into Space. The Fracture will reveal a glimpse of the Starlit Sea Above.
-
Nucleosynthesis Seeds: Green seeds, spawned from Nuclear Stormclouds emitted after a Firmament Fracture is formed. Upon landing, they grow and burrow into the ground. Then they wait there... dormant.
-
Starbleaching: Areas beneath Fractured Firmament will be bathed in Rainbow Hues. Land engulfed in this starlight will gradually become Starbleached. This will transform the landscape and convert existing blocks into their Heavenly counterparts.
-
Subcaelic Torpedoes: Under the torn sky, mob spawns are replaced by Celestial Beings. Subcaelic Torpedoes resemble flying squids and spew Mysterious Rainbow Trails across the land. They follow their leader, the Subcaelic Dux.
-
Subcaelic Dux: The Dux is a neutral miniboss. When angered, it will send its Torpedoes at those who oppose it. Upon death, it will give you a... "reward"... if you see Green, Run.
And several items, blocks, and minor mechanics, derived from Fractures and their Consequences, such as:
- Truly Stellar Farmland, though with a chance of turning your crops into Bismuth.
- Bismuth Pegasus Armor to give your Horse Wings.
- Magical rainbow fire that Burns Underwater (keep it away from the Green).
- The ability to Collect Starbleach in a Cauldron and then coat your food in Starbleach (and also your Ender Pearls).
- Blessed Cloth blocks - to break your fall.
- A Very Comfortable Bed.
