Starlance Mod (1.20.1, 1.20) – Build and Pilot Spacecraft Between Planets

download Skip to Downloads

Starlance Mod (1.20.1, 1.20) takes Minecraft space exploration to a new level by merging the physics-driven power of Valkyrien Skies with the interplanetary adventure of Cosmic Horizons. The result is a highly technical, immersive experience where you can build your own fully functioning spacecraft and fly between planets with real movement, artificial gravity, and full ship control.

This mod is built for players who love engineering challenges, sci-fi mechanics, and space travel with realism. From dynamic thrusters and magnetic boots to configurable space physics, Starlance lets you simulate a functioning space environment while remaining within Minecraft’s sandbox.

Starlance Mod

Features:

  • Space Travel via Custom Ships:
    Construct and fly real moving ships powered by Valkyrien Skies, and navigate between planets, moons, and orbital platforms.
  • Thruster Systems with Two Modes:
    Attach configurable thrusters with GLOBAL and POSITION modes to control propulsion and direction precisely.
  • Artificial Gravity (Magnet Boots):
    Use Magnet Boots to simulate gravity inside your ship or station, keeping you grounded during zero-G travel.
  • Space Physics Simulation:
    Add Drag Blocks to simulate realistic space resistance and inertia, enhancing the immersion.
  • Easy Configuration Options:
    Settings can be customized via the vsch.json file or through the Create mod config menu, offering full control over ship behavior and performance.
  • Future Planned Features:
    Upcoming updates will include warp drives, fuel mechanics, and even full player rotation in zero gravity for a complete spacefaring experience.
  • Known Limitation:
    If the player is not seated during space transitions, there is a risk of being left behind so make sure to strap in!

Why use Starlance Mod?

If you’re a Minecraft engineer or builder who’s always dreamed of creating and piloting realistic space ships, Starlance is the mod for you. It combines two of the most powerful systems Valkyrien Skies’ physics engine and Cosmic Horizons’ space framework to let you construct vessels that truly move, fly, and orbit.

This mod is ideal for:

  • Builders who want to design modular, moving spacecraft
  • Players seeking realistic space physics and movement
  • Fans of mods like Immersive Engineering or Create
  • Roleplay, adventure, and science-fiction themed servers
  • Technical modpack creators designing deep-space campaigns

FAQs

What makes Starlance different from other space mods?

Starlance allows you to build **actual flying ships** with realistic physics via Valkyrien Skies, not just teleportation or dimension jumping.

Do I need Valkyrien Skies and Cosmic Horizons installed?

Yes. **Starlance depends on both mods** to work properly—Valkyrien Skies for flight physics and Cosmic Horizons for space travel support.

How do I configure ship behavior?

You can modify settings via the **`vsch.json` file** or the **Create mod config menu**, depending on your setup.

What happens if I’m not seated during planetary travel?

There is a chance you’ll **be left behind** or desynced. Always sit down in a valid seat or controller block during transitions.

Is this mod suitable for survival gameplay?

Yes, though it’s more geared toward **technical and advanced playstyles**. It fits best in modpacks with engineering or sci-fi themes.
