About
Ad Astra 3D is a resource pack that replaces the pixel-art planet views in Ad Astra with stylized 3D celestial bodies, making the scenery of space more vivid and planet-like. It adds textures for the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and its Moon, including lunar phases, as well as Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos, Proxima Centauri, Glacio and Vicinus. The pack lets players see these bodies from different viewpoints, including Earth from the Moon or its space station, the Moon from Earth, Mars from space, and the Sun from Mercury. It also provides stylized views of Glacio and a planet-selection screen, and is compatible with Ad Astra Extra and Ad Astra Proxima Plus; Stellar View has partial compatibility.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.
Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks.

- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
Privacy
Sends nothing
A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content declared.
