SpaceLive: Build a Thriving City on the Moon in Minecraft
Have you ever looked up at the Minecraft night sky and thought, "I could build something up there"? SpaceLive turns that daydream into a full-blown survival experience. This modpack gathers the most popular space and technology mods into one polished package, giving you the tools to industrialize the moon, automate everything in sight, and construct a sprawling lunar metropolis with your friends.
If you have fond memories of tech-heavy packs like BevoTech, SpaceLive will feel instantly familiar, but leaner and faster. The author trimmed away a large number of mods to boost performance and swapped in fresh content such as JurassiCraft, so you get dinosaurs alongside your rocket fuel. The result is a pack that runs smoothly on a server while still offering deep progression.
What SpaceLive Brings to the Table
At its core, SpaceLive is about expansion. You start on the Overworld, build up a technological base, and eventually blast off toward new horizons. The pack leans heavily on space and technique-themed mods, which means every milestone unlocks another layer of automation and exploration.
- Advanced machinery and processing chains for serious automation fans
- Space travel and off-world colonization, including moon bases
- Farms and resource generation systems that keep your factories fed
- Decorative blocks perfect for laying out roads, domes, and city districts
- JurassiCraft, adding prehistoric creatures to your world
- Performance-friendly mod selection compared to heavier kitchen-sink packs
Whether you want to terraform a crater into a bustling downtown or simply automate every resource you will ever need, the sandbox gives you room to do it your way.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loader
SpaceLive for Minecraft is built for the classic 1.12.2 era of modding, which remains the sweet spot for large tech and space packs. It runs on the Forge loader, so you will need a Forge profile matching that version before anything else. Because 1.12.2 has such a mature modding scene, the machines, rockets, and creature mods inside the pack work together with very few conflicts, and most community guides and tutorials you find online will line up with what you see in game.
A Note on Performance
The author deliberately removed a long list of mods to keep frame rates healthy, especially on servers. That said, 1.12.2 packs still benefit from allocating a reasonable amount of RAM. If your lunar city starts to sprawl, consider pre-generating chunks and keeping your machine-heavy builds in dedicated areas away from your main base.
How to Install SpaceLive
Getting started is straightforward. If you are wondering how to install the pack, follow these steps:
- Install a launcher that supports modpacks, such as the CurseForge app or a similar tool
- Search the modpack catalog for SpaceLive and add it to your library
- Let the launcher download the correct Forge version and all required mods automatically
- Allocate at least 4 to 6 GB of RAM in your launcher's Java settings
- Launch the profile, create a world or join a server, and start planning your moon base
For players who prefer a friction-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a handy alternative: its built-in add-on catalog lets you install SpaceLive with a single click, and it keeps the pack updated automatically so you never miss a fix or a new mod addition.
Once you are in, the early game follows a familiar rhythm. Punch trees, craft your first machines, and gradually work toward the technology that makes spaceflight possible. From there, the moon is yours. Set up oxygen and power infrastructure, import materials from home, and lay the foundation for the city you have been imagining.
Playing Solo or With Friends
SpaceLive is designed with both playstyles in mind. Solo players can take their time, building compact self-sustaining outposts and experimenting with automation at their own pace. On a server, the pack truly shines: one player can run the farms, another can handle ore processing, and a third can focus on architecture and city planning. Splitting the workload makes large-scale projects like a domed lunar capital far more achievable, and it is a great way to keep everyone engaged.
The inclusion of JurassiCraft adds an unexpected twist. Between rocket launches and factory upgrades, you can hatch and raise dinosaurs, turning your base into a genuinely unique attraction. It is an odd combination on paper, but it fits the pack's philosophy of giving players plenty of directions to explore.
Final Thoughts
SpaceLive delivers exactly what its name promises: a launchpad for ambitious builders. It trims the bloat of older tech packs, keeps performance in check, and hands you the machinery, farms, and blocks needed to construct a real city on the moon. If you are ready to download SpaceLive and take your Minecraft world into orbit, grab the pack for Minecraft 1.12.2 on Forge, invite a few friends, and start stacking rocket parts. The lunar skyline is waiting.
