Player Experience

All creators are empowered with personal worlds, helpful tools, and technical mechanics.

🪐 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.

🤝 Tight-Knit Community Means Trust

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.

⚠️ Limitations

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




Frequently Asked Questions

Please click questions to open their respective answers.

How do I get started?

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

WorldEdit Guide
Why can't I see WorldEdit selection particles?
How can I remove my ownership role from a planet?

Players may remove themselves from the owner role with the following command:

/p group yourUsernameHere --IWantToLoseMyPermission
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.

Mods Types:

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.

Can I play with multiple accounts ("alts")?

You may use Libre Galaxy Games with multiple accounts only if the following conditions are met:

A common reason for using alternative accounts includes playing Libre Galaxy Games across multiple platforms. For example, one account may be a Minecraft: Java Edition account used on your computer, while another may be a Minecraft: Bedrock Edition account (Xbox Gamertag) used on your smartphone.

How can I become a building mentor?

It's truly wonderful that you wish to help your peers improve their building skills and creations! Please get in touch with Martin (@itsmcb) by pinging him on the Libre Galaxy Discord for an interview.

Can I submit a planet template?

Yes, all players can submit their worlds as templates; we're excited that you wish to share your creations! However, your template must meet specific criteria depending on its type. These requirements ensure users of your content have a great experience.
