Create: Northstar - Redux Unhardcoded

A transitional hardcode-removal fork of Create: Northstar - Redux for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge.

This build keeps the original Northstar Redux gameplay direction while moving planet behavior, rocket and telescope lookups, environment rules, and related hardcoded text paths toward a shared registry-backed PlanetDefinition model.

What Changed

• Planet behavior is now routed through registry-backed PlanetDefinition entries where practical.
• Rocket station targeting, fuel cost, engine requirements, heat checks, star maps, and return tickets query the planet registry.
• Telescope rendering, selection, tooltips, and printed readings iterate registered observable bodies.
• Oxygen, atmosphere, temperature, weather, gravity, solar, wind, fog, and sky lookups are increasingly registry- driven.
• Several rocket, telescope, Ponder, and UI strings were moved to translation keys.
• Existing planet string ids are preserved for old saves, star maps, and return tickets.
• Java mods and KubeJS startup scripts can register planet definitions through the same shared model.

Scope

This fork is focused on compatibility and extension plumbing, not new planet content.

Datapack/JSON planet loading is not implemented. Use the Java API or KubeJS startup scripts for custom planet registration.

Compatibility

Existing built-in Northstar Redux planets and observable bodies are preserved, including Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Earth orbit, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, Ceres, and Phobos/Deimos.

This fork is intended as a bridge until upstream Redux ships equivalent official data-driven planet support.
