StellarCraft Title

StellarCraft is a mod that adds RPG mechanics, new items, and dynamic events to Minecraft.
Its goal is to make gameplay more challenging, engaging, and progression-based.

This mod is designed for players who want deeper character development, more strategic gameplay, and new world interactions beyond vanilla mechanics.

RPG System

StellarCraft introduces a custom leveling system that is completely separate from Minecraft’s default one.

Radiance — your level
Sparks — your experience

You gain Sparks by performing actions such as killing mobs or breaking blocks.
After reaching a required amount, you gain a new Radiance level.

Each level grants charges, which can be spent to upgrade your character and create your own build.

Upgradeable stats:

Health
Damage
Stamina
Stamina Regeneration
Intelligence!

Player Upgrade GUI

This system allows flexible progression and different playstyles.

Stellar Upgrades

In addition to basic stats, the mod includes 12 special upgrades available through the Stellar Book.

Each upgrade has 5 levels
Upgrades are grouped into categories: combat, mining, survival, defense, speed, and special abilities
Examples range from bonus luck to powerful effects like a second chance after death

To upgrade them, you need:

Intelligence stat
Vanilla Minecraft experience

Stellar Book GUI

Important:

Upgrades only work when they are activated
The Stellar Book must be in the player’s inventory for effects to apply

This system adds another layer of progression and build customization.

New Mechanics

Stamina System

Stamina is consumed when performing actions like mining or sprinting.
If stamina reaches zero, the player becomes exhausted and temporarily unable to act.

This makes gameplay more strategic, as poor stamina management can lead to death.

Falling Stars (Events)

The mod adds stars as physical objects and world events.

There are two types:

Single Star Falls — rare events where a star falls near the player, with unique sounds and effects
Starfall Event — a much rarer night-time event with 4 intensity levels (from weak to very strong)

During starfall events:

Multiple stars can be seen moving across the sky
The chance of stars falling increases

Some stars can be dangerous, adding risk to exploration.

Wandering Star and Starfall Event

Stellar Equipment Upgrades

StellarCraft adds a new type of equipment enhancement called Stellar Upgrades.

These upgrades are obtained through special Stellar Smithing Templates, which can only be found inside the Star Tower structure or duplicated using diamonds and stars.

Stellar Upgrades allow weapons and tools to gain unique abilities and special effects.

Examples include:

Swords / Axes — launch stellar projectiles
Pickaxes — mine blocks in a 3x3 area

Each upgrade must first be activated using the Stellar Table.

Stellar Table

The Stellar Table is a special crafting and activation block used for advanced stellar mechanics.

It is required for:

Activating Stellar Upgrades
Creating Stellar Catalysts
Reviving Extinguished Stars

The block can only be found inside the Star Tower, generated beneath the tower in a special amethyst chamber.

Stellar Table

Stellar Catalysts

To power the table, players must create a Stellar Catalyst.

A catalyst is crafted inside the Stellar Table using:

An Amethyst Shard
A Stellar Lens

Stellar Catalyst Craft

Activating Stellar Upgrades

To activate a Stellar Upgrade, the player must place:

A Stellar Catalyst
The required dust type
An inactive Stellar Upgrade template

into the Stellar Table.

This system adds an additional progression layer and makes powerful upgrades more difficult to obtain.

Stellar Template Activations

New Structures

StellarCraft introduces two new overworld structures:

Abandoned Library

A mysterious ruined structure with 6 building variations.

Inside, players can find loot chests containing valuable resources and rare items.

One of the rarest rewards is a special book that permanently grants +1 Intelligence

Star Tower

A large multi-level structure generated in the overworld.

The tower contains:

A parkour floor
A treasure floor
The upper tower section

At the base of the structure, players can find the Stellar Table, surrounded by amethyst crystals.

The Star Tower is the main source of advanced stellar content and progression-related loot.

Vanilla Changes

The mod replaces default UI elements such as hearts and hunger with custom numeric systems.
This is done to simplify the interface and avoid visual clutter.

Some visual effects (like status effects) are still preserved.

Player Bars GUI

Note:
A built-in resource pack is used to hide vanilla bars.
It is recommended to keep the mod’s resource pack at the top for correct UI display.

Items and Blocks

The mod adds new items and blocks, including:

Stars
Star Analyzer
Other related content
