Planets (Remake of the old Solar System map) [UPDATE]

[Juicy Drop Pop]

Anyone who has been playing Blockland from it's 2007 release will probably remember the space maps, y'know; the ones that had the planets with the no-clip atmospheres? Well obviously maps are gone now, so I've spent the past day recreating a single planet that brings back the experiences of the classic maps such as "Planets" and "Gliese581."

This save features an Earth-like planet with both ocean and land on the exterior atmosphere, the atmosphere has no collision or ray casting; allowing vehicles or players to land on the physical terrain inside. The interior has both a sky and clouds, plus a 256 x 256 grass terrain for building on, it is also worth mentioning that because the atmosphere has no ray-casting the sun flare casts through.

That's neat, but the outside looks kinda ugly.

Main reason for that was because the original cube was completely blue and I had to delete some of the atmosphere and add green blocks, (I couldn't repaint it because it was no ray-casting) which probably made me not thing too much about it's appearance.

I like that it's a cube and that the terrain on the atmosphere is kinda pixely, seems like a very Blockland planet. I think the exterior would look way better if it were composed of fewer larger land masses with larger expanses of water between them, you know, like Earth.

Completely agree with this, I'll be fixing this soon. I'm currently also making some small plates in orbit of the planet, so people can create space stations. I'll be getting onto the Moon as well soon.

Looks nice. I remember Planets and Gliese 581, I loved them. You should really fix those unrealistic land masses.
Will you be making other planets, like Mars or Venus?

I remember when I made the Gliese581 map based on a real system, fifteen light years away from Earth. I think it has been six years ago when I made the map using MilkShape.

Almost certainly, the main problem at the moment is that I'm unable to paint the bricks that have no ray casting (which is all of the atmosphere.)
It would be helpful if someone could create an Add-On that allows otherwise.

You made that? Dude, it was awesome! Nearly no-one knew there were planets other than the spawn. Thanks!

OT: i fully support this.

I remember building brick bridges that connected all the planets. God, best map ever.

EDIT: Fixed the problem.

Okay, update to roll out today. I fixed the ugly exterior atmosphere and made it more Earth-looking. I've also add the Moon, along with the American flag. I'll be beginning Mars soon and while I've updated the download link to the current save I have, after I bring the next save out with Mars, it won't be updated. The main reason for this is because I'm planning to make a space Fort Wars server and would like it to be exclusive.

the only thing i remember about this map is holding right click

[heedicalking]

i don't like the whole dumb minecraft style. blockland has never been pixelated or "retro" like that, the skies have always looked normal and the sun isn't a cube. it would look better as actual planets.
