Starlance

Name: Starlance
Author: Unknown

This mod aims to provide compatibility between various space mods and Valkyrien Skies!

Currently supported mods:

The mod adds:

The ability for VS ships to go between planets and space!
Thrusters to power your ships!
Optional artificial drag block for space! (good for slowing down in zero G!)
Magnet Boots for artificial gravity!
Two thruster modes, GLOBAL and POSITION, toggle with an item, or disable in config!

How it works:

The mod takes the existing space system of the space mods it supports, and adds VS ship compat to them.

For example, with Cosmic Horizons installed, VS ships will go into its space dimension on reaching y=560 (like Cosmic Horizons entity rocket ships). Then in the space dimension, if the ship enters a planet, it gets transported there.

With Ad Astra on the otherhand, the VS ship will open the same GUI as an entity rocket would on reaching "space", and lands where you select. Starlance also adds "tier blocks", accessible with /give, which dictate what tier of Ad Astra planet you can go to. Perfect for modpack developers!

Planned features:

Survival friendly thruster system (fuel, etc)
Warp drive for VS ships
Full player rotation in space?

Current limitations:

When transitioning between planet/space, player may be left behind by ship to be stranded in space or fall down to planet. More likely at high speeds. Solution is to sit down in a seat.
Player can't rotate upside down with the ship in space, unless seated

Where to find the config

Find your world save folder, then find your specific worlds folder. Then go into server-configs. Open vsch.json (or similar). Alternatively, use the "configure other mods" feature of the Create config menu. (Note that Starlance is also listed there as 'vsch')

[2.0.1] 2.0.1 by Unknown on Oct 21, 2026

Download

### Changes:

Updated to vtil 0.6.2

### Bug fixes:

Fixed issues with both Ad Astra and Cosmic Horizons compat that would result in VS thinking there was no atmosphere in the overworld

[2.0.0] 2.0.0 by Unknown on Oct 21, 2026

Download

### Features

Starlance no longer requires **Cosmic Horizons** to play.
Instead, Starlance will only load its thrusters and other VS features.

However, if a compatible space mod (right now just Cosmic Horizons and Ad Astra)
is installed, Starlance will automatically enable its compat for that space mod,
allowing VS ships to integrate with that mod.

### Changes:

Updated to VS 2.4.11+
Can now be loaded without Cosmic Horizons
Now compatible with Ad Astra (and still compatible with Cosmic Horizons)
Added new "tier" blocks for modpack makers - these blocks control what tier of Ad Astra planet a VS ship can go to. These blocks will also be integrated with other space mods in the future.
Added config to disable space mod compat entirely (e.g. if you want Ad Astra + Starlance but don't want VS ships to go to space)

[1.5.0] 1.5.0 by Unknown on Oct 21, 2026

Download

### Features
Now compatible with Valkyrien Skies **2.4.0+**.
We are **no longer compatible** with Valkyrien Skies 2.3.

### Other changes

Updated to use the unified VS dimension-gravity api for cosmic dimensions
Updated teleport handler significantly
Set the default landing option to HISTORY. Configs will need to be changed/reset for this to take effect.

[1.4.2] 1.4.2 by Unknown on Oct 21, 2026

Download

## Features

Starlance now uses Create 6.0.7+ instead of 0.5.1j.

Please note that not all other VS addons will support Create 6 yet,
you may need to use Starlance 1.4.1 with them for the time being

[1.4.1] 1.4.1 by Unknown on Oct 21, 2026

Download

Fixed crash on dedicated server

[1.4.0] 1.4.0 by Unknown on Oct 21, 2026

Download

### Additions:

Magnet boots can now be toggle with a keybind (defaults to X)
Magnet boots work in the curios's boots slot
Added ship_landing_mode config option:
PLAYER_MENU: Will always use the player menu for landing location. Ships cannot land without a player nearby. (Behaviour from previous versions)
HISTORY: The saved launch position (for that planet) will be used. If no launch has been saved, the origin will be used.
AUTO_HISTORY: Ships will use PLAYER_MENU mode if a player is nearby, otherwise they will use HISTORY mode.
Added ship_landing_accuracy config option. When a ship is landing on a planet, the ship will be teleported randomly within the stated range in chunks.
Added ship_first_landing_spawn_range config option. Defines how far away the ship should spawn from the origin when first landing on a planet.
Added LOD warning when the lodDetail Valkyrien Skies setting is too low.
Added supressess_press_y_hint config option to suppress the "Press Y To Open GUI" Cosmic Horizons message.

### Changes:

Starlance now only supports forge 47.4.0 and above

### Fixes:

Fixed magnet boots not working at block edge
Fixed the render optimisation mixins using the server config instead of client one.
Fixed ships having the incorrect orientation when entering planet from the sides.

### API:

Added PreTravelEvent to adjust new position and new orientation when a ship cluster is teleporting.
Added PreShipTravelEvent to adjust ship's velocity and omega when teleporting.

Download

Added THRUSTER_FLAME_IMPACT config option to disable thrusters setting fire and pushing entities

# Bug fixes

Fixed thruster particles getting stuck active when ship goes out of loading distance and comes back

Fixed thruster flame having a 0.5 block offset in some directions
Fixed thruster data sometimes not saving
Fixed minecart contraptions and CBC cannons crashing the game when entering space or a planet

Ships will now have correct orientation when entering from different faces of a planet

[1.3.0] 1.3.0 by Unknown on Oct 21, 2026

Download

## Thrusters

Thrusters now connect when directly adjacent, and can be controlled as one
They can now set entities on fire, blocks on fire, push entities, evaporate water
They can now consume fuel (can be set in config). Default is still no fuel for now

## New blocks

Added "Rocket Assembler", which provides a better way of assembling multiple block ships. Benefits include:
Can be used in space
Can assemble active create contraptions
Can be automated
Added Gyro, which can rotate your ship when powered with redstone
Added vent block, which simply prevents thrusters from setting fire past it

## Bug fixes:

Fixed Cosmic Horizons crashing on rclick when a custom datapack is enabled
Fixed thruster particles sometimes persisting after thruster destroyed (maybe)
Fixed thruster force when at small scales
Fixed log spam about "Found cosmos dimension, changing world height"

## Misc:

Config option to disable chunk saving in space. Increases performance, but forces builds to be ships in space.
Config option to place the "platform" in space from a nodule as a ship instead of blocks
Probably some other stuff I don't remember
