SkyCraft 0.1.1
Digging into Skyrim, and a fix for Minecraft never connecting. Early and experimental, so back up your saves.
New: dig into Skyrim
- Mine Skyrim's ground, rocks, roads and objects like Minecraft blocks. The hole is cut out of Skyrim itself: you, NPCs and items fall in.
- Underneath is what you'd expect: dirt under grass, then stone with ores, then bedrock a few blocks down. Interiors and caves are solid stone behind their walls.
- Grass, flowers, bushes and small rocks on ground you dig away go with it.
- TNT, creepers and other explosions blow craters into Skyrim.
- What you dig is saved in your Minecraft world (and shared with friends in it).
Fixed: stuck on "SkyCraft: starting Minecraft..."
- If you ran Skyrim (or MO2 or Vortex) as administrator, Minecraft couldn't connect to it and sat hidden forever. Fixed.
- If Minecraft still hasn't connected after a minute, Skyrim now tells you why: Prism Launcher still busy (Alt-Tab to it), Minecraft closed (with the path to its log), or Minecraft running but not responding.
- A hidden Minecraft that never connects now closes itself after 10 minutes, instead of blocking the next start with "already running". If you're stuck now, restart your PC (or end
javaw.exein Task Manager) once after updating.
If it still doesn't connect, please report it with Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\SkyCraft.log and %LOCALAPPDATA%\SkyCraft\Prism\instances\SkyCraft\.minecraft\logs\latest.log.
Download
SkyCraft-0.1.1.zip: the mod. Install it with Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex like any SKSE plugin, over 0.1.0. It updates the Minecraft side by itself and keeps your Minecraft world.skycraft-fabric-0.1.1.jar: the Minecraft mod on its own, only if you use your own launcher (see the README).SkyCraft-0.1.1-pdb.zip: debug symbols for crash logs. Most people don't need it.
You need
- Skyrim Special Edition on the Anniversary Edition runtime (tested on 1.7.104), SKSE64 and the Address Library (All in one, AE).
- A Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition.
Heavily recommended: Alternate Start - Live Another Life. Skyrim's opening (the cart ride and Helgen) may not work with SkyCraft, so you can get stuck. Alternate Start skips it.
See the README for controls, settings and known limitations.
