Mars

Mars is a hilly red planet. It is the only planet with its own caves, which are very wide but low. It is the only place where Martians spawn.

Generation

Mars is hilly, like most other planets. It is mostly composed of terracotta, with occasional square patches of Dry Ice generating between y 1 and 30. Below y 15, about ten percent of blocks are Iron Ore, making it ideal for harvesting huge amounts of Iron. The surface of Mars is composed of Mars Dust, four blocks thick. There is the occasional Fallen Meteor on the surface

Mars is currently the only planet with caves. Initially, Mars caves were very reminiscent of the giant Minecraft 1.18 noise caves, however, in an attempt to replicate spaghetti caves, they were made to generate along 3D Simplex noise borders. This did not work as planned, as they generated very wide and low, but the developer decided to keep their uniqueness. After a little more tweaking, they were turned into the Mars caves we know and love today.

Mobs

Martian

There is only one mob native to Mars, the Martian. These are hostile mobs that spawn in dark places. What is unique about them is that they can be traded with. To trade with one, right click it with the item to offer. Here's a full table of their (current) trades:

Item to Offer Trade
Iron Sword Iron Sword (effectively fixes it)
Iron Ore Iron Ingot
Reinforced Plate Tungsten Ingot

Martians have a 1 out of 64 chance to spawn with the name "The Zerix". This is a reference to one of the developers of the addon.
