Create: Northstar – Redux Unhardcoded

This repository is archived and is no longer maintained. Upstream
Create: Northstar – Redux has implemented data-driven planet support, so the
main purpose of this temporary hardcode-removal fork has been fulfilled. New
work should target upstream instead of this repository.

Create: Northstar – Redux Unhardcoded

A transitional hardcode-removal fork of Create: Northstar – Redux for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge.

This build keeps the original Northstar Redux gameplay direction while moving planet behavior, rocket and telescope
lookups, environment rules, and related hardcoded text paths toward a shared registry-backed PlanetDefinition model.

## What Changed

• Planet behavior is now routed through registry-backed PlanetDefinition entries where practical.

• Rocket station targeting, fuel cost, engine requirements, heat checks, star maps, and return tickets query the
  planet registry.

• Telescope rendering, selection, tooltips, and printed readings iterate registered observable bodies.

• Oxygen, atmosphere, temperature, weather, gravity, solar, wind, fog, and sky lookups are increasingly registry-
  driven.

• Several rocket, telescope, Ponder, and UI strings were moved to translation keys.

• Existing planet string ids are preserved for old saves, star maps, and return tickets.

• Java mods and KubeJS startup scripts can register planet definitions through the same shared model.

  Scope

  This fork is focused on compatibility and extension plumbing, not new planet content.

  Datapack/JSON planet loading is not implemented. Use the Java API or KubeJS startup scripts for custom planet
  registration.

  Compatibility

  Existing built-in Northstar Redux planets and observable bodies are preserved, including Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus,
  Mercury, Earth orbit, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, Ceres, and Phobos/Deimos.

  This fork is intended as a bridge until upstream Redux ships equivalent official data-driven planet support.
