Spyglass Astronomy Mod (26.1.2, 1.20.1) – Explore The Solar System

Spyglass Astronomy Mod brings a beautiful 3D stargazing experience, as if you were using a spyglass to explore the universe in-game. The mod runs entirely on the client side and does not affect the server.

Features:

• Planets and stars are procedurally generated based on your world, with high scientific accuracy and identical results for all players in the same world.
• You can draw your own constellations, name celestial bodies, and build lore in your own imaginative way.
• Observation Modes:
• You can switch between observation modes by holding zoom (like the vanilla spyglass) and pressing the middle mouse button:
• Vanilla mode – the default Minecraft spyglass view.
• Constellation mode (represented by amethyst) – allows you to draw and select constellations.
• Star mode (represented by emerald) – allows you to select stars or planets (in commands, comets are also treated as planets).

How to use:

Spyglass Modes

• There are three spyglass modes:
  • Vanilla – Default spyglass view
  • Constellation Mode (Amethyst)
  • Star Mode (Emerald)
• While zoomed in, use the pick block key (Middle Click) to switch between modes.

Constellation Mode

• Hold the attack button (Left Click) to draw lines between stars.
• You can create new constellations or select existing ones.

Star Mode

• Select individual stars and planets.
• Comets are treated as planets when using commands.

Commands and Interaction

• After selecting an object:
  • Name it using /sga:name <name>
  • View information with /sga:info
• You can also get info without selecting an object by typing
  /sga:info and following the suggestions.
• All available client-side commands can be discovered by typing /sga: and checking the suggestions.

Multiplayer Sharing

• Share discoveries with other players using:
  • /sga:share – share the currently selected object
  • /sga:share <object> – share a specific object
• The command gives you a share code that others can use, as long as they also have the mod installed.
• For better synchronization, you can use Spyglass Astronomy Sync, which must be installed on the server.

Additional Notes

• Older versions of this mod are not compatible with Spyglass Improvements.
• This mod includes its own scrollable spyglass zoom.
• Other mods, such as Zoomglass, can be used to add spyglass hotkeys.
• A separate client+server addon exists for bulk sharing, created by another developer.
