Been playing around with starmade a lot lately and while not strictly minecraft it's basically minecraft in space. Free to download and play too. I'm sure the community would have a lot of fun with it particularly as it's free.

If CFUK had starmade perhaps it'd bring a few more new players to minecraft too, however I realise it'd be yet another thing to manage so it's just a thought for now

Looks great!
Also looks to be a pretty big modpack? With all the UI.

I might try it.

no it's not made by mojang, but it's voxel based and I know ftb uses many plugins made by voxelbox but this might be running on it ? (don't know my programming etc so *shrugs*)

I just envisaged a huge flying banana and an umbrella co space station, lol

Well Fekkit (latest version of Tekkit) now has a space mod built in (though you can only go to the moon), but from those who have made it there and back in one piece, they say it's great fun

this looks spicy

I dont want to build an umbrella space station. I dont feel like crashing the universe anytime soon
Would be bad for business.

I was psyched about galacticraft but it was a little bit of a letdown; originally you could go to a heap of other planets each with different things; mars even had bacterial sludge you could grow creepy alien worms from but the mod creator removed the 8 or so other worlds to work on them more. Visited the moon and the most exciting thing I found was cheese ore; there was tin etc but it was crappy moon tin that couldn't even be pulverised, Moon villagers don't trade with you either. Then when I flew back to overworld the space ship just disappeared -_-
