Galacticraft

I started to contribute to Galacticraft through issue/bug reports in 2017 and basic pull requests in 2018. In 2019, I was invited to work on Galacticraft 5 (called Galacticraft: Rewoven at the time), which I contributed to until 2026.

Contribution highlights

• Implemented a graph-based wire network (power distribution) system
• Created an extensible framework for making machines (see MachineLib)
  • Implemented a dynamic (runtime) model generation system for machines, increasing game startup speed 19x.
• Designed extensible APIs for both developers and players to extend Galacticraft’s functionality
  • Utilized Minecraft’s “datapack” system to allow players to create and load their own rockets, planets and galaxies at runtime.

Features

• Explore the solar system in your own spaceship!
• Support for custom rocket parts and planets via datapacks
• Manage machines that use electricity
• Manage oxygen systems to sustain life in space
• Custom ores, tools, structures, items and blocks to aid your journey to the stars
