Galacticraft 4
Though it has been considered or is in development for a future version of Galacticraft 4. Text subject to change.
Galacticraft 4 (GC4) is the next upcoming release in the Galacticraft mod series. Currently in beta testing and an expected release in mid-2017.
GC4 will be available in separate versions for Minecraft 1.8.9, Minecraft 1.10.2 and Minecraft 1.11.2, so that players can pick a version matching any other mods they want to use with Galacticraft.
The main additions in GC4 will include the beautiful new planet Venus and many things found there, including new ores, sulphuric acid lakes, gas spouts, crashed probes, a new dungeon type and the Spider Queen. Heading in the other direction, there will be spectacular Abandoned Bases to discover in the Asteroids dimension. These will contain clues to further things...
New features
New features in GC4 will include:
- New ores and terrain blocks;
- Galena ore (yields lead);
- Other Venus ores including aluminum, silicon and quartz;
- Volcanic rock (turns into lava when broken);
- Scorched rock;
- Pumice;
- New space base building blocks:
- Fluid pipes - these replace Oxygen Pipes in earlier Galacticraft versions, and can transport oxygen gas or many other types of gas or liquid, including a simple "pull" mechanism (when right-clicked) to pump liquids out of a tank;
- Fluid tanks - simple glass tanks which can hold 8 buckets of any liquid of gas;
- Vacuum Glass - a sealed, vacuum-proof, glass window block which makes smart connections to its neighbors, in three variants including Clear Glass and Strong (explosion resistant) - in underwater bases it also provides clear underwater views;
- Magnetic Crafting Table - a crafting table which holds its inventory, and can be placed on its side or even upside-down! Smart Shift-clicking of items into the crafting table, simple automated crafting using hoppers (or item pipes). And an attractive grey color!
- Painter - a machine which can change the color of Vacuum Glass frames and other paintable blocks to any custom color.
- Crashed Probe;
- Geothermal Generator;
- Venus dungeon blocks, Web Torches and Tier 3 Treasure Chest;
- New items:
- Volcanic Pickaxe - break multiple blocks at the same time;
- Tier 2 Thermal Padding - needed to keep the player cool in the extreme heat of Venus;
- Shield Controller - provides a shield to protect the player's armor from corrosion, without this the dangerously acidic atmosphere of Venus will destroy any armor;
- Lead ingot (crafting uses to be confirmed).
- more to come...
As with other Galacticraft versions, Galacticraft 4 will consist of three mod files: GalacticraftCore, Galacticraft-Planets and MicdoodleCore.
Download links to the 1.8.9 beta version can be found on the forum. (Note: if you build large bases in the beta version, be aware that there is a chance of block or item loss if something changes in an update between beta and release.)
