🪐 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.

• WorldEdit (//wand) - The ultimate in-game map editor. We even wrote a guide to help you learn how to use it!
• Miniature Decorations (/heads) - Decorate with over 80,000 custom-textured heads.
• Special Items (/specialitems) - Obtain blocks and items with special states that are otherwise tedious to get, such as snowy grass, end portal matter, and glowing invisible item frames.
• Banner Maker (/bm) - Create, save, and obtain complex banner designs with our easy in-game editor.
• Firework Maker (/fw) - Design, save, obtain, and share custom fireworks with our intuitive in-game editor.
• Character Editor (/skin) - Temporarily change your character’s look with a simple command, perfect for roleplay.
• Entity Manager (/p) - View all loaded entities in your world. Edit, teleport to, or delete them with ease.

🏆 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.

• Entities - The technical name for animals, monsters, etc: Allowed.
• Redstone - Minecraft’s loose analogue to electricity, which is useful for controlling and activating a variety of mechanisms: Allowed.
• NBT - Special metadata extending regular functionality of items, blocks, and entities: Allowed.
• Litematica - A build blueprint client-side modification: Allowed (except during official build competitions).

Empowerment

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

• No Skill Ranks: We celebrate all building styles and ways of play. You have the freedom to create or explore what you love without judgment.
• No Paywalls: Essential tools like WorldEdit are free for everyone, always. We don’t gatekeep creativity.
• Your Creations are Yours: You can download a copy of your planet at any time with a simple command (/p export). Take your work with you, no questions asked.

🤝 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.

🏛️ About the Founder

The owner and developer is Martin, a self-motivated technologist and university student pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Information Systems and Analytics. He has over half a decade of experience running casual and professional Minecraft servers, enabling him to implement best practices and cultivate high-quality community members. Libre Galaxy Games is a Minecraft server he always wished existed.

⚠️ A Note on Limitations

In the spirit of transparency, here’s what to expect:

• Resource Requests: We’re happy to consider requests for additional planet slots or larger world borders, but we grant them based on genuine need to ensure fairness and server resource longevity.
• Planet Inactivity: To keep the server running smoothly for active players, planets may be cleared after 6 months of owner inactivity. This is far less likely for well-developed worlds or for active members of our community. This policy ensures we have space for new creations now and in the future.
• Development Time: As a busy university student, Martin’s time is limited. Updates may be infrequent, and some will be “backend” improvements that aren’t immediately visible. While he can’t be in-game daily, he is active on Discord and typically responds to messages within 24 hours.

Additional Commands

Useful commands you’re likely to use include:

• /flyspeed [1-10] - Adjust your flight speed.
• /gmc - Alias for changing into gamemode creative
• /gms - Alias for changing into gamemode survival
• /gma - Alias for changing into gamemode adventure

ℹ️ The initial dimensions of a planet are 501 x 384 x 501.
