Infinite Earth's

1.0.0: Infinite Earths, Chapter One: The Lantern Corps

The first release of Infinite Earths, a superhero multiverse built one chapter at a time. Chapter One is the Lantern Corps.

New in this update

• New name: the mod is now Infinite Earths (it was "Lantern Corps"). The Lantern Corps are Chapter One, with more heroes, powers and worlds to come. New logo and banner.
• Planets are full worlds: the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Titan and Pluto are each an endless world with Overworld-style terrain, caves and ores, plus their own sky and gravity. Dive into a planet from space to land on it; fly straight up out of its sky to return.
  • Mars: red dunes, mesas, deep canyons, giant volcanoes and polar ice. The Green Martian capital sits at the centre, with five more ruined temples across the planet.
  • Venus: volcanoes and lava lakes, with Mister Mind's lair at the centre.
  • Titan: dunes, ice mountains and methane seas, with the Saturnian temple at the centre.
  • The Moon: craters and dark seas, with Earth rising in the sky.
  • Mercury: cratered plains and towering cliffs.
  • Pluto: a giant heart-shaped plain of nitrogen ice, ringed by ice mountains.
• Emptier space: asteroids now gather around the planets. The space between worlds is close to empty.
• New constructs:
  • Giant Drill: bores a tunnel about 5 blocks wide straight through rock and drops everything it mines, ore included.
  • Great Sword: sweeps a huge blade through everything in front of you.
• Underwater: a charged ring lets you breathe and see clearly underwater, and drives you along at speed when you sprint-swim.
• Two rings at once (Dual Ring skill): every pair has its own upside and downside. You get the second corps' marks on your suit, and the second ring goes on your left hand.
• A Red Lantern's ring is their heart: taking it off kills you, and you respawn still wearing it. A Blue Lantern's light, or a green ring burning it out, can free you safely.
• Master the spectrum: once all nine other corps have chosen you, your rings merge into a White Lantern ring.
• Faster flight: cruising is twice as fast and soaring tops out around 95 m/s. Tap Sprint while flying forward to soar; no need to hold it, and it ends when you stop going forward.
• Construct wheel is now an overlay: you keep moving and looking around while you choose. Scroll to pick, left-click to select.
• Custom particles: glowing ring-light motes, ground shockwaves, rising corps emblems and hard-light shards, all in your corps' colour.
• Restyled menus: glowing panels, energy bars, themed buttons, and roomier, easier-to-read text and tooltips.
• Rings go to your inventory: when a ring finds you, it goes into your inventory. Put it on when you choose.
• Harder to earn: every ring after your first is harder to earn.

Fixes

• Lasers and beams now come from your ring hand (your right), not from the left of your screen.
• Holding R no longer flickers the construct wheel open and shut.
• Legs no longer flap about while soaring.
• Mister Mind's boss bar no longer stays on screen after he's beaten.
• The dual-ring suit marks now show over the suit.

Also in Chapter One

• Ten Lantern Corps: each has its own ring, battery, suit, strengths, weaknesses and signature power.
• A skill tree with Flight, Constructs, Ring and Suit branches.
• Flight: a Superman-style soar, a sonic boom and the superhero landing.
• Soaring grabs: grab and smash mobs while soaring.
• Hard-light constructs: beam, fist, sword, hammer, grab, shield with shield bash, dome, bridge, cage, drill, and your own saved blueprints.
• Space: reached by flying up, with no loading screen.
• Earth from space: a globe with clouds, a day and a night side, and a glowing atmosphere.
• The solar system: gas giants that crush anyone who flies in, and Saturn's rings as a walkable asteroid belt.
• The Sector 2814 outpost, which supercharges your ring.
• Enemies: White Martians on Mars, and the three-act Mister Mind boss fight on Venus.
• Central Power Batteries to recharge in a blaze of light.
• A ring that talks: it speaks in chat and answers your questions.

Requirements

Minecraft 26.3 (Java), Fabric Loader, Fabric API. Needed on both the client and the server.

Works on dedicated servers: put the same jar (plus Fabric API) in the server's mods folder and every player's. You can leave allow-flight=false; Lantern flight is granted by the mod, so nobody gets kicked for flying.

Note

Worlds from earlier test builds won't keep their mod items, because the internal ID changed with the new name. Start a new world.
