Changes
SpaceSandSox v1.1 β "Celestial Mechanics Update"
Added:
-
New Celestial Body: Saturn (with unique rings and mass/temp properties).
-
Advanced Physics: Implemented full Newtonian N-body gravity (all objects interact).
-
Thermodynamics: Objects now heat up near stars/impacts and cool down in space.
-
Launch Modes: Added "Launch" (projectile) and "Orbit" (auto-trajectory calculation) spawn modes.
-
HUD/Telemetry: Added a real-time info panel for locked objects (Mass, Radius, Temp, Velocity).
Reworked:
-
Collision Engine: Replaced basic collision with Continuous Collision Detection (CCD) to prevent high-speed phasing.
-
Dynamic Scaling: Objects now visually and physically expand based on mass accumulation.
-
Rendering: Removed buggy damage flashes; implemented temperature-based emissive glow (hot objects emit light).
-
Particle Effects: New high-impact explosion effects (lava, flame, smoke) based on impact energy.
-
Camera System: Improved camera-lock mechanics for better observation of orbital events.
Fixed:
-
Fixed "phasing" issues where planets would pass through each other.
-
Fixed vanilla entity pushing/bumping (planets no longer push each other away manually).
-
Corrected light map errors during collisions.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
