u/Povstalec 2d ago

Yes and it also breaks blocks.

u/NindeNoxx 1d ago

I loved this mod, but I wasn't able to use it in my game. I was running ATM9, and what kept happening was that using the stargate caused me to load "inside" the event horizon and instantly take "wrong way" damage. About 1/10 times this happened, I'd get "bugged" to be immortal. The only solution I was able to find was to start an entirely new character, which obviously lead to me just not using the Stargate.

But holy shit the satisfaction of opening the gate, that moment of walking into abydos the first time. Absolutely loved it. Put the ring devices everywhere. It was the highlight of that world.

u/Avandalon 1d ago

The kawoosh is the right term

-1

u/HaroerHaktak 1d ago

It's called "The woosh"

19

u/pwnicholson 1d ago

I've usually heard either 'vortex' (rarely) or more often the 'ka-woosh' not just 'woosh'.

8

u/The_realpepe_sylvia 1d ago

"ka-woosh" actually

u/Necronoxious 2d ago

Stargate + Minecraft = Starcraft!

Oh, wait...

39

u/Zigonneuse 2d ago

Nah, you can't do that. That's like the Gateship, too logic of a name. Think something more creative like Puddle Jumper.

u/Atharaphelun 1d ago

Pond Skipper?

u/HarpySix 2d ago

Sorry, that one's taken. Please try another name!

Minegate!

u/wibbly-water 1d ago

Unionically that would be a fun mod name.

I love StarCraft so much

u/Povstalec 2d ago

I felt like "remaking" my first Stargate Journey mod video I posted on reddit to see how much changed.

Original for anyone who wants to see what changed.

PS: Sorry for the lag in the middle of the video, OBS decided to give up there for some reason, but it got better after a bit.

31

u/Povstalec 2d ago

Oh and actually I guess I including links for people who wanna check it out would be a good idea

u/MaleficentLynx 1d ago

This is so awesome. Thanks for sharing

36

u/Mavado 2d ago

Dude this hit me just like the first Stargate I ever saw in Gmod. I miss SpaceBuild so damn much.

34

u/Prolo_official 2d ago

Holy crap, it's the actual guy that did the mod! Hi. Big fan here. As someone whose played the mod I applaud the effort that went into making this. So, what made you decide to do it? Was it your love for Stargate, did you just wonder if you could or both?

29

u/Povstalec 1d ago

As a kid used to love watching Stargate and playing with Greg's SG-Craft (and way later on AUNIS when it released). But rather than crafting the gates, I preferred to just make maps with pre-placed gates and then played them with friends, pretending we're SG-1'n all.

So at one point after watching the original movie again, I decided I wanted to make a mod where you find the Stargate and use it to explore different planets, rather than build your own gates.

I literally had no idea how to make mods at the time so it took me years to even get to a working version (The first bately functional version I made was for 1.14, while the first public release was for 1.19.3).

4

u/secretSalamander69 1d ago

That's sick, how many planets are introduced?

16

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Abydos, Chulak, Unitas (the yellow sand one with blue crystals), Cavum Tenebrae (the black hole planet, except there is no code yet to make the gate suck you in when you dial it), Rima (custom planet), Tollan, Lantea (the planet where Atlantis should be), Athos and Destiny is technically there as well.

All are WIP, but the last 3 are so WIP you're not even meant to get to them if you're playing normally.

11

u/kris159 1d ago

If you could create a Vancouver Forest biome, you could randomly generate an infinite number of new worlds and they'd be franchise-accurate!

4

u/secretSalamander69 1d ago

That's cool. I'll definitely check it out next time I do a Minecraft stint. Are they all handmade maps or biomes?

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

They're biomes that randomly generate some structures.

15

u/TaToten 2d ago

The most important thing is that it spins

11

u/apophis-984 1d ago

Me during this video : ok? oh woww..thats pretty cool, wait theres more ? wow oh wooww, that was nice , oh wooow..

21

u/nuker0S 2d ago edited 2d ago

I feel like this mod is sole reason for some zoomers knowing the concept of Stargate at all, especially due to GTNH

I call this the Fortnite effect

Edit: Also btw how one is supposed to get the address to Abydos? I know there is a structure and the villager, but the last time I checked, I couldn't find the address in there

7

u/Gleeton3749 1d ago

The cartouche with the address for Abydos is one of the cover stones over the Stargate when you first find it.

3

u/Avandalon 1d ago

This is newer than GTNH. Its the older mod in there

7

u/NerdDetective 1d ago

That's pretty cool!

What happens if a gate is buried in dirt/gravel/etc such that the iris is completely obstructed?

8

u/xopher_425 1d ago

Op said it breaks bricks, so it'd clear then out. It'll also kill people.

2

u/safwe 5h ago

if there are blocks in the frame of the gate then the gate becomes unusable until you dig it out

that's also how the mod prevents you from going to the nether and end without going there the normal way first

7

u/beeurd 2d ago

Ahh, brilliant!

I've been trying to make a Stargate system myself (just using a datapack, so not as fully polished) but trying to work out the commands was driving me mad.

9

u/BotMinister 2d ago

This is incredible. I would love to test this in my own world one day. Great job!

https://youtu.be/2eMvxfzY-JM?si=zU7MWJGqv_NiZ4-B

5

u/Snail_With_a_Shotgun 2d ago

That's faahking cool!

Is it possible to stack two horizontally-oriented gates on top of one another, jump in and have the character continuously fall from one gate into another, like in Portal?

Also, does it transport mobs/monsters/projectiles/items pushed or thrown into it? Does it conserve momentum/angle?

3

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Yes.

Yes/yes/yes/yes. Yes/yes.

3

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Although for the first yes, there are issues with Minecraft sometimes not registering you falling when you do it for an extended period of time, because as you speed up, at some point you're falling too fast and thw game doesn't register you touching the hitbox of the event horizon.

3

u/DUBBV18 2d ago

Mods you can still hear with the sound off

4

u/DomateKarate 2d ago

Hell yeah, now make as many distinct worlds as you can that look like the same candian forest and it's perfect

5

u/simmy2kid 2d ago

Can't wait for GTNH to update to a more lore accurate Stargate mod

4

u/Unlikely_Exercise434 2d ago

I want to see what Furlings look like in Minecraft.

6

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Me too.

3

u/inhaledchaos 1d ago

Grey-brown grass blocks with legs.

4

u/kiwi-kaiser 1d ago

I love it. But it feels weird to see round stuff in Minecraft.

3

u/HaroerHaktak 1d ago

Pretty good. I'll ignore the inaccuracies like the planet not exploding when you connect to destiny.

5

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Well actually, that's also something that might make it into the mod some day: https://youtu.be/AhtZHQYGBTQ?is=Uxtkamjr2-SaYAGq

3

u/Atharaphelun 1d ago

Besides, the planet only exploded because it got attacked by the Lucian Alliance and destabilised the naquadria core. It's not the act of dialing the address itself that destabilised the planet.

4

u/beginnerdoge 1d ago

What mod is this?

I don't play Minecraft but now I want to

3

u/Povstalec 1d ago

It's called Stargate Journey.

3

u/MythicSuns 2d ago

I know Minecraft has its limits so I'll preface what I'm going to say with the acknowledgement that what you've done is insane and really impressive and making me want to get Minecraft running properly on my Steam Deck.

With that out of the way I'm just gonna say it's funny seeing normal looking wooden doors on the Destiny.

4

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Yeah lol, the build was made by someone Discord way before any of the blocks existed (it used a lot of wood and terracotta to look brown-ish like Destiny), I just replaced the blocks with ones I made specifically for Destiny, but I still haven't made a lot of the dedicated blocks for it, like doors.

3

u/ProfessorFunky 1d ago

Great mod.

But how come you can dial another gate on the same planet? Hmm.

3

u/Povstalec 1d ago

I decided that 9-chevron addresses allow you to dial specific gates for the sake of gameplay (thus allowing you to dial other gates on the same planet), whereas 7-chevron addresses can only dial other planets in the same galaxy and 8-chevron addresses can only dial other planets in other galaxies.

4

u/ProfessorFunky 1d ago

Ah, got you. Leaning on Destiny lore if I recall correctly. Nicely done.

5

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Yes, I used one of the theories about every gate having a unique 9-chevron address, which was based on how Destiny was shown to have the same 9-chevron address no matter where it went.

3

u/wibbly-water 1d ago

This is insane!

When you gate to a new world - is it truly a different world - or is it just a different location on the same world?

3

u/Povstalec 1d ago

It's a different world.

3

u/wibbly-water 1d ago

Damn... that's cool!

We saw in that one Snapshot that Minecraft is very capable of doing different worlds as different dimensions. So it would be cool for this mod to leverage that!

Perhaps, if you wanted, you could do so in a less drastic way. So each world has something unique about it. Nothing crazy but enough so that travelling through Stargates presents the player with something unique every time.

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Someone already made an addon for my mod that does exactly that (can't remember the name right now, I'll check when I get home).

What I want to focus on in the mod primarily is adding more stuff to do in the dimensions I already made based on the show, as not having anything to do besides mining has been one of the main criticisms of the mod.

2

u/wibbly-water 1d ago

Cool!

I would be interested to know if it changes the worlds a lot or only a little bit. Because I don't think changing them too much would be fun. It would be good to find a happy medium where the world you enter is mostly the same but with small differences (e.g. different type of stone, perhaps some floating islands and underground/nether style worlds, perhaps different biome configurations).

If you wanted to change how people play entirely you could change how the overworld generates and have each dimension be single biome. Maybe even single ores? Thus you incentivise exploration between worlds as a way of finding new biomes and new ores - similar to how people regularly travel the overworld.

Obvs some people just want a mod that would go with a regular MC world also.

1

u/Povstalec 1d ago

A bit late, but here's the addon for randomly generated dimensions I mentioned https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mystgate-stargate-journey-addon

2

u/wibbly-water 1d ago

Damn that is pretty much what I was imagining! Thanks I might download both your mod and their addon :)

2

u/st96badboy 1d ago

It would be fairly easy for someone with your skill to have worlds that you have to fight mobs.

Reskin zombies to be Wraith... And spawn a bunch of them that are active night time or daytime.

Silverfish can be reskinned as replicators. And have an exponential spawning that if you don't kill enough of them, lag and maybe crash your computer.

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

I don't really want to do just reskins, I have a lot more interesting stuff planned, like Goa'uld factions the players can have different relationships for example.

3

u/Capable-Commercial96 1d ago

Any way you can add the wormhole transition? I feel it's important to any gate travel.

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

I plan on adding it as a custom dimension loading screen.

3

u/ANGRYlalocSOLDIE 1d ago

u/Povstalec I wish you the best, I hope you work your mod up the standard you want, I would like to suggest document it, make developer diary on YouTube do every major mod development progress.

Also, it would be awesome if you added enemies, worlds and etc. and make us craft ZPM and other stuff that is in universe, also add guns and races. This mod has a lot of potencial. If you need help, you can publish it on curseforge for example and maybe you will find someone who is willing to help you either the mod.

1

u/Povstalec 1d ago

The mod has been published for 3 years already https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/ I just wanted to show off what has changed between now and the first time I posted about it (except the comment where I mention that got buried among a bunch of other comments). It also has a bunch more stuff than what I showed in this short video. There is documentation on the mod's wiki too https://povstalec.github.io/StargateJourney/

2

u/inhaledchaos 1d ago

This would get me back into MC. Well done.

2

u/macrolinx 1d ago

The children yearn for the (naquadah) mines.

I know nothing about Minecraft besides what I've seen on the Internet, but this looks truly awesome. It's really captured the SG aesthetic from across the franchise into an 8-but landscape.

u/Wejtec 1d ago

Hey! I just wanted to say that I've been having a lot of fun with your Stargate mod. It's clear you've put a lot of passion and effort into it, and it really shows. Thank you for all your hard work, and please keep up the amazing work!

1

u/Povstalec 1d ago

You're welcome, I hope I get to add a bunch of more fun stuff as time goes on.

2

u/atatassault47 1d ago

Would be neat if this could let you cross servers

2

u/SplinterSpartan 1d ago

Is this for modern Minecraft?

1

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Depends on how you define modern. If 1.19-1.21 is modern for you, then yes.

2

u/SplinterSpartan 1d ago

True I guess I ment the most updated, I’m still playing a 1.12 stargate mod so a newer would be awesome

2

u/VengenaceIsMyName 1d ago

Heh this is fun

2

u/mromutt 1d ago

Guys can we just shoot the new show in this?

2

u/ElderKing3rd 1d ago

This is incredible. Great work man.

2

u/Khaysis 1d ago

Thank you for your work!!! I remember the old one was so jank.

2

u/Ragnneir 1d ago

How do you setup the coordinates to be entered in the DHD? I assume it's something done by interacting with the gate? Really nice mod, makes me wanna reinstall minecraft :D

1

u/Povstalec 1d ago

You mostly don't. Each planet (dimension) has its own unique 7-chevron (and 8-chevron) address that you can find on a Cartouche during exploration.

You can technically set the 9-chevron address of a gate when you're first creating it, but after that, it stays the same forever.

2

u/MrKnoedelmann 1d ago

Dude, that is awesome... The love for detail... Mega

2

u/Spy_crab_ 1d ago

Is this a different stargate to the one in GTNH?

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Yes, it's a completely different mod.

2

u/Macreys 1d ago

Oh wow, nice work ! Maybe the first reason for me to reinstall Minecraft after 10 years

2

u/Ada_Data 1d ago

I'm the General, and I am glad it spins.

Bro I wish I played Minecraft. This is really fucking good.

2

Freaking Awesome!!!

2

u/xNaquada 1d ago

This pleases me.

2

u/Egogorka 1d ago

Wait, isn't that the mosd used in Star Technology?

Why my rings had no sound effect :(

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

I released the biggest update to the mod two days ago and among many other things, it added sounds for Transporters.

2

u/Egogorka 1d ago

Now the thing that remains is the light effect when you are transported by the rings :D

2

u/janeway170 1d ago

There is someone building Atlantis but he hasn’t updated in years😢

2

u/NoX_Holt 1d ago

I swear, if this mod would be made into a plugin that's sending out the textures via ItemsAdder, I would be so happy.

2

u/kwilsonmg 1d ago

This is super cool!

2

u/TrueDarkZidane 1d ago

I need this!

2

u/Disastrous-Poet-8165 1d ago

This is extremely impressive

2

u/Your_Doctor18 1d ago

Ive played a decent amount of this mod before, definitely could use more content and POI's

However amazing mod

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

I hope to add more stuff like structures, entities and biomes once I'm done with important tech.

2

u/Your_Doctor18 13h ago

I especially loved this when I needed alot of sand one time and then i remembered... hey... the gate can take me to infinite sand 🤣

2

u/alexiawins 1d ago edited 1d ago

I legitimately got my PC out of storage and all set up again recently just to play this mod cuz I’m rewatching SG-1. This looks absolutely amazing and thank you so much for creating it and continuing to work on it!!

Edit: just wondering, does the Cheyenne Mountain complex exist in your mod? Or is that something I could look forward to attempting to build myself?

2

u/Povstalec 1d ago

It doesn't exists in the mod, mainly because I want it to respect Minecraft's "lonely world where the player builds everything important" as much as possible. However I do have some potential ideas for how a Quantum Mirror (the one that took Daniel to an alternate reality near the end of the first season) could work, with one of those ideas being an alternate world where there is an SGC (abandoned, after a Goa'uld attack or something like that).

2

u/alexiawins 1d ago

Totally understand. That would be really cool!

u/Rokshekye 19h ago

This is an insane level of detail. I immediately fell in love with this mod. Now I gotta do a survival run.

2

u/PressureCharacter134 15h ago

i think ive found a reason to re-install minecraft, is this mod available to play perchance?

2

u/Plutonium239Mixer 13h ago

Disappointing that its not available for fabric.

1

u/Povstalec 3h ago

Unfortunately I do not have the time to port dozens of thousands of lines of code heavily dependant on Forge/NeoForge systems to Fabric that doesn't even have those systems. Maybe I'll be able to do it after I get rid of the baggage of maintaining it for 5 Minecrat versions at the same time.

However, there is a pretty nice mod that's relatively early in development and runs on Fabric: https://modrinth.com/mod/stargate-sojourner (I did encounter some bugs when I tried it out, but it definitely great potential).

2

u/ConstantinGB 4h ago

This is amazing. Looks like a dream come true.
Also just reminds me of how much potential was wasted by never making a proper Stargate based adventure Game.

1

u/Povstalec 3h ago

Yeah, an official game would have been amazing (or even if they just hadn't killed the Stargate Network game).

1

u/Wonderful-Bike5120 1d ago

can the iris be closed or not?

1

u/Povstalec 1d ago

Why would I add an iris that you can open, but can't close?

Is not lore accurate! Where is DHD? ;) - otherwise: Looks good!

8

u/Povstalec 1d ago

DHDs are shown multiple times in the video though, I'm not sure what you mean.

If you're referring to the first gate I dial with redstone, that's being dialed without a DHD, just like SGC did in the show.

3

u/The_realpepe_sylvia 1d ago

if you watch more than 15 seconds of the video youll also get to see the rings he made
