Minecraft is one of the most modded games of all time. Its open-ended nature means that the community has been able to fit a plethora of different game types and features into it, from overhaul modpacks such as RLCraft to more quality-of-life additions such as JourneyMap or Nature Compass.

However, most mods for Minecraft tend to lean more on the fantasy side of things, adding dungeons and magic and heightened enchantments. That does not mean the sci-fi mods available are low quality, though.

The main draw of this sci-fi mod is just what the name implies. It allows users to travel beyond Earth.

Within it, gamers can make rocket ships of different levels, with higher levels having farther reach. They can then use these rockets to visit other planets and space bodies, such as the moon, Mars, Venus, and more.

Each of these planets can be colonized by players, building up bubbles of oxygenated atmosphere where they can survive. These planets also have unique blocks, ores, items, structures, and even alien species that users can interact with and discover.
