UPDATE: Galacticraft 4 has now been released. Latest build 109 is stable - June 20, 2017. You can download the Galacticraft mod - for Minecraft 1.11.2, 1.10.2 and 1.8.9 - from the official download site.
Make sure to remove old versions of Galacticraft from your /mods folder, if updating from the beta versions!
Current known incompatibilities: nothing major
(If playing Galacticraft with CustomNPCs or More Player Models, please make sure to use the latest (May 2017) versions of those mods)

Hey guys,
After a lot of work and some hiccups in the development process, the beta testing phase of Galacticraft 4 is here.
During the BETA phase, I will ask that these builds only be used for those looking to help polish and improve the Galacticraft 4 release. These downloads are subject to the Galacticraft license, which can be viewed here. It's not wise to create modpacks or extensive maps based on these builds, as things are likely to be changed before we reach the release phase.
DOWNLOAD Galacticraft 1.11.2 - 1.10.2 and 1.8.9 versions
Please report issues on the Galacticraft issue tracker here, adding the minecraft version number to the title of the issue to help distinguish these from 1.7.10 issues. Include detailed information about the issue, as per usual, including crash logs and any information that can be used to re-create the problem.
Updating from worlds made using the older BETA of Galacticraft 4: when you update, first time you start the world, Forge will report 6 "Missing blocks / items" - for example breatheableAir - and ask if you want to continue. It's OK to continue! There are no missing blocks! Forge has detected 6 missing items because there are 6 things which now don't have any item (three types of air and three types of dummy block).
Updating from older worlds made using Galacticraft 3 / Minecraft 1.7.10 is not supported. A few people have been able to make this work. If you want to try it, proceed cautiously and keep a backup of your 1.7.10 world. Like other Forge mods updating to 1.8+, it's not likely to be a smooth update process. Some tips:
- It may depend on what other mods you're also bringing with you: the smaller the modlist the better
- You should load and save your world in 1.7.10 with the reduced modlist before switching Minecraft versions.
- Try updating first from 1.7.10 to 1.8.9
- Galacticraft items in chests or inventories should update correctly, if they don't then the update probably won't work at all for your world
- Galacticraft blocks (machines) placed in the world may not be correct. At minimum it's likely that some block rotations will have changed, there may also be contents loss or other issues.
- It would be a good idea to break and re-place all Galacticraft blocks in your base, and the same for machines from other mods.
- Some blocks have changed, for example oxygen pipe is now fluid pipe.
- Moon, Mars and Asteroids dimensions should be deleted and fully re-generated to have their correct dungeons in Galacticraft 4.
Make sure to remove old versions of Galacticraft from your /mods folder, if updating from the beta versions!
