Overview

Beyond Earth (formerly known as Space-Bosstools) is a massive space exploration mod designed for modern Minecraft versions like 1.20.1 and 1.19.2. It introduces a multi-tiered progression system where players must master metallurgy and engineering to leave the Overworld. The mod features five unique celestial bodies—the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Glacio—each with its own gravity, atmosphere, and resources. Players can build customizable space stations, drive rovers across alien terrains, and encounter unique extraterrestrial life forms.

Frequently asked questions

How do I craft the NASA Workbench?
The NASA Workbench is one of the mod's dedicated recipe types (beyond_earth:nasa_workbench), so it must be built using its own recipe rather than a standard crafting table. Check the recipe viewer for its exact ingredient layout.
How do I make Steel?
Steel is obtained by smelting or blasting Iron in a furnace-type recipe, and it can be stored as a Block of Steel. Compressed Steel is a separate item made by compressing steel.
What does the Compressor do?
The Compressor uses the beyond_earth:compressor recipe type to turn base materials into compressed versions such as Compressed Steel, Compressed Desh, Compressed Ostrum, and Compressed Calorite. Place it and insert the required input to process.
How do I get Calorite, Desh, and Ostrum?
Desh Ore generates on the Moon, Ostrum Ore generates on Mars, and Calorite is obtained as an ingot/nugget material used in blocks and engines. Each can be stored as a Block of the respective metal.
How do I make a Jet Suit?
The Jet Suit is crafted as a four-piece set: Jet Suit Helmet, Jet Suit Pants, Jet Suit Boots, and the Jet Suit chestpiece. Equip all pieces to use it.
How do I craft the Coal Generator?
The Coal Generator is crafted via a shaped recipe and burns fuel to produce energy. It is used to power machines like the Compressor and Fuel Refinery.
How do I make Fuel and use the Fuel Refinery?
The Fuel Refinery processes input into Fuel, which can be collected in a Fuel Bucket or stored in a Fuel block. Fuel is used to power engines such as the Calorite Engine and Desh Engine.
What are the Calorite Engine, Desh Engine, Engine Frame, and Engine Fan used for?
These are the components that make up a rocket engine assembly: the Engine Frame and Engine Fan are combined with a Calorite Engine or Desh Engine. They are required to build a functioning rocket.
How do I make Iron Plates and Iron Rods?
Iron Plate and Iron Rod are crafted from Iron via shaped recipes. Iron Plates are used to make Block of Iron Plating and Blue Iron Plating blocks.
How do I get Ice Shards?
Ice Shards are obtained by mining Glacio Ice Shard Ore on Glacio or Mars Ice Shard Ore on Mars. They are used in crafting recipes such as the Jet Suit.
How do I make Glacio Wood Planks and their stairs, slabs, doors, and trapdoors?
Glacio Wood Planks are crafted from Glacio Wood, and the planks are then used in shaped recipes to make Glacio Wood Stairs, Glacio Wood Slab, Glacio Wood Door, and Glacio Wood Trapdoor. Stone variants like Glacio Stone Bricks also have stairs and slabs via crafting or stonecutting.
How do I trade with aliens?
Alien trading uses the beyond_earth:alien_trading_itemstack and beyond_earth:alien_trading_enchanted_item recipe types, meaning you exchange items (including enchanted ones) with Alien or Alien Zombie entities. Approach the alien with the required trade item to complete the exchange.
