Libre Galaxy Games

Preserving and Enriching Minecraft’s Digital Culture.


🪐 Planets: Your Space to Build and Explore

Whether you’re a builder looking for a great starting point with a complete toolbox or a player seeking unique adventures, these are your automatically protected worlds to enjoy solo or with friends. You’re in control: manage who has access, how they can interact, and configure settings like game rules and warp locations.


Launch your next experience from our library of templates. You’ll find everything from beautiful seeds to interactive worlds; many are contributions from our community, alongside classic maps we’ve saved from being lost forever.


🛠️ Powerful Tools, Instantly

We provide a powerful suite of open-source and custom tools to bring your ideas to life.



🏆 Our Advantage

We’ve built what we believe is one of the best creative experiences available, centered on two core principles: trust and empowerment.


Trust

We trust you with the tools you need to be truly creative and have fun. There are no arbitrary restrictions holding you back.



Empowerment

Many servers place frustrating limits on players. We do things differently.



🤝 Play Together: Java & Bedrock

Connect with friends no matter what device they use. We support the latest versions of Minecraft for both Java and Bedrock, allowing everyone to play together in the same world.

FAQ

Click questions to open answers


How do I get started?

Create your planet (personal world) using /p create and selecting a planet world template.


Please refer to the tutorial in the /spawn area for futher details.

How do I exit a planet?

You may exit a planet and enter the spawn area at any time with the /spawn command.

How do I use WorldEdit?

Please refer to our guide ⬇️


Why can’t I see WorldEdit selection particles?

You may have particles disabled in your client settings. You may also have the visualizer toggled off. Try /wesv toggle to turn it back on.

How do I ban a player from my planet?

Players can be banned from your planet using the group assignment menu. Use /p group <username> and select banned.


If a player was banned by mistake, simply open the group assignment menu and select another group to assign, such as default.

Does Libre Galaxy Games support Axiom?

No, we do not support Axiom because it does not meet our open-source software requirements and requires a commercial license.

Will Libre Galaxy Games switch to Fabric?

Not anytime soon. Our backend servers are built on Purpur and plugins supporting the Bukkit/Spigot/Paper lineage platform. The planets system, among other things, is custom-written for that target platform. Switching to another server software would require a complete rewrite of all custom software.


The Fabric question comes from a reasonable place. Fabric is often seen as more performant, adheres to vanilla game logic, and can be expanded with high-quality mods. Additionally, our team has identified Fabric-specific mods we would like to implement if there were to be a switch, including Moderner Beta to enable legacy terrain generation for planets.


Libre Galaxy Games is run by Martin and dedicated volunteers, with Martin serving as the sole infrastructure manager and custom software developer. As a university student managing these responsibilities, learning new APIs and rewriting the entire codebase isn’t feasible at this time.


We are lucky that Purpur is performant enough, has reasonable vanilla game logic parity, and has a thriving free and open-source software ecosystem to enable the best experience possible for our player community. The server software question will be revisited once the server reaches a stable 1.0 release.

What clients and mods can I use while I play?

Modifications can have a wide range of functionality, such as improving performance or adding new content to the game. However, not all mods are allowed everywhere on Libre Galaxy Games. You may use the modifications below at your own risk. They are trusted modifications that are unlikely to result in a punishment, but user discretion is still advised. These rules may change at any time.

Global

Mods Types:

You may use any mod that helps run the game smoother, such as Sodium, Lithium, Phosphor, and Dynamic FPS.


You may use any mod that provides code for another mod to work, such as the Fabric API.


You may use any mod that helps you manage and configure your client, such as Mod Menu.


You may use any mod that doesn’t provide you with any unfair advantages and is used for utility purposes, such as Remove Reloading Screen, Paginated Advancements, and No Chat Reports.


You may use any mod that one might use for accessability purposes, such as Zoomify.

How do I set rules for my planet?

All players on Libre Galaxy must abide by our Community Guidelines. Planet owners may wish to create additional rules, typically communicated though signs at the planet spawn, as they see fit. The additional rules must not break the Community Guidelines.
