DESCRIPTION
What is Parallax?
Parallax is a visual mod which adds huge amounts of highly detailed foliage and rocks to diversify the entire planetary system with the goal of making each and every planet unique to explore. These objects can also be made collideable to make navigating the planets more challenging.
Installation
- Download Parallax
- Download the Parallax Assets
- Browse to
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimpleRockets 2\Mods. Can't find the AppData folder? See the Troubleshooting section - Open the ParallaxAssets.zip and copy the "ParallaxData" folder to the "Mods" folder.
- Copy the Parallax2.sr2-mod (downloaded in step 1) to the "Mods" folder as well.
- Launch Juno: New Origins and enable the mod
- Enjoy!

Verification:
Inside Jundroo\SimpleRockets 2\Mods, you should have a folder named "ParallaxData" and a file named "Parallax2.sr2-mod". If you instead have a file named "Parallax2", this is fine and you just have file extensions hidden.
Troubleshooting:
Q: I can't find the AppData folder!
A: In the Users/USERNAME folder that you are currently in, look for the "view" button at the top of the File Explorer window. Click "view", then "show" -> "Hidden Items". You should now see the AppData folder. Keep in mind this folder won't exist until you have launched the game at least once.
Q: Nothing is showing up in game!
A: Is the mod enabled? In the top right on the main menu in JNO, click Modifications -> Parallax2 -> Enable. If you get an error, or Parallax2 does not show in the mods list, reread these installation instructions.
In order to achieve a high quality yet highly performant experience, Parallax utilizes a technique called GPU Instancing to draw thousands of objects efficiently. Even if you have a lower spec GPU, Parallax will run great - you can always tweak the settings and cater the experience to your needs:
Recommended Settings
- For the best experience, I would recommend using a terrain LOD quality of 6.0.
- You can adjust the mod settings by editing Mods\ParallaxData\Assets\Common\ParallaxSettings.xml, where you can adjust the quality settings, enable performance saving modes or even change which objects are collideable for an easy or challenging experience
Recommended Specs
- GPU with 3GB+ VRAM
- 6GB RAM (with terrain LOD 10)

@doobong it's Ur network bro
Plz parallax doesn't work for Android?. Plz if anyone has parallax on Android plz share how you did urs🙏
Omo the mod is nice and all but my main prob now is that as I am downloading the mod, if my network shifts a little or data message comes in or I turn on n off aeroplane mode to boost my network the whole download just restarts from 0kb/s and starts downloading over again 😭😭.
My initial link for downloading assets did not contain any trackers, here's updated one
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:630e18f6144950845b2f05d3b0b9febda6776e08&xt=urn:btmh:122089ee3d6e190348f21c4aaa2aec2895dd7d901ea607d0d83bce11516b562d9a6f&dn=ParallaxAssets-1.0.zip&xl=2323271948&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce
Really good for bind people. They could now play the game by smelling the computer.
I'm very sad that android can't get mods, this mod right here would've made me combust into flames...
I tried to download the mod but didn't work
Incredible. You guys are the best.
@QuantumSpaceJNO aw
@Cyberstar3964 you cant,
Is it possible to download mods on IOS?
(To the user below this comment who said you can’t I’m just double checking)
@Samucaviu YOU CANNOT DOWNLOAD MODS ON MOBLE!!!
Would be interesting if the assets could be used in the planet studio as well
@SsubspacEJNO How do I download this mod for mobile?
I have a potato pc Is this very hard to run?
@doobong It’s probably because the total storage this mod takes up is about 2.38 GB. And that’s before unzipping the Parallax Assets folder.
I don't know if this is on my end, but to download the assets, the max amount of time it takes is literally 16 days to download. I don't know why and can't find anything that may be affecting it.
It’s not working on Seregeaa
@Linx time flies
1.4 years ago already, wowzer
@Pedro aight man
@Spacemurfsayhuh the thing is that the path you suggest is absolute, which may not work for everyone, but the path in the description is relative, so it will work for everyone. All that has to be done is copy paste that
@Pedro That path has the little two dots there which confused me and I think is confusing others, since others have had this issue too; just a suggestion mate.
@Spacemurfsayhuh it is literally step 3 of the installation guide
I recommend updating the mod instructions to give the file path
C:\Users\"username"\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimpleRockets 2\Mods, because I and I can see some people in the comments as well have had the (small brain) issue of going to the wrong file path and having the mod not work.
Great mod btw
