Frequently asked questions

How do I build a Starry Skies portal?

Build a frame using Packed Ice blocks in the same shape as a Nether portal, then use Flint and Steel on the frame to activate it. You'll be transported to the Starry Skies dimension once the portal ignites.

What should I bring when entering Starry Skies for the first time?

Bring blocks for building bridges between spheres, a water bucket for fall protection, and tools for mining since you'll be jumping between floating islands with no solid ground below. Armor and weapons are essential since you'll encounter mobs in this dimension.

Why do I keep falling off the spheres?

The spheres are round, so their edges are curved and slippery. Build bridges or platforms between spheres using blocks you bring with you, or place blocks on the sphere surface to create flat walkways.

Can I find vanilla structures like strongholds in Starry Skies?

Yes, the mod generates vanilla-style structures including dungeons, strongholds, and end cities on the floating spheres. Use the same methods you'd normally use to locate them, keeping in mind they'll be scattered across different spheres.

Is there lava on the spheres I need to watch out for?

Yes, lava can generate on spheres during world generation, so be cautious when exploring. Bring water or fire-resistant gear to protect yourself from accidental burns.

Can I customize the terrain and blocks in Starry Skies?

Yes, you can fully customize world generation settings including ground height and block types when creating a new Starry Skies world. This lets you create anything from a standard experience to a sky block-style challenge.

What's at the bottom of Starry Skies if I fall?

By default, there's water at the bottom of the dimension, which will save you from fall damage. However, this can be customized during world generation if you want a different experience.

How do I find ores and valuable resources on the spheres?

Ores generate inside the spheres just like in the overworld, so you'll need to mine into them to find resources. Explore multiple spheres to find different ore types and increase your chances of finding rare materials.

Can I build a base on a sphere in Starry Skies?

Yes, you can build on the spheres just like any other surface, though the curved terrain makes it trickier. Flatten out an area with blocks or build structures that work with the sphere's shape.

Do I need a special way to return from Starry Skies to the overworld?

Build another Starry Skies portal in the dimension using Packed Ice and Flint and Steel, and it will take you back to your original Nether portal location in the overworld.
