Elipida & Hades - FPS-friendly planets

Description
There are two planets I made for my server to save performance. Both planets have low-resolution heightmaps (that's why size of mod so small) so landscape will be generated much faster when you fly above and game will freeze less than with vanilla planets.

-Elipida-
This is Earth-like planet with poisonous, but oxygenated atmosphere and 1G gravity. Biomes (from equator to poles): desert, savanna, pine forest forest & mountains, snowy forest, snow fields. Landscape of planet is very smooth, so you can ride across it on car without problems. Depth of ore deposits on this planet is ~70% of vanilla Earthlike planet to make playing more comfortable. Flora density and amount of unique flora models is much more lower than on vanilla Earthlike planet to save your FPS.

-Hades-
This is lifeless planet I use as satellite of Elipida. 0,5G gravity, atmosphere without oxygen, and soil glowing in night.

For Elipida I use 120km size, but it should look well enough with any size larger than 40km. I don't know what to recommend to you about Hades, but it has actually only two biomes, so small sizes should be nice.

To use planet mods, enter the spawn menu by Shift+F10. If you are in survival mode, enable creative mode tools by Alt+F10 first.

Would love if these planets could be fixed. They look really cool and I love the idea that they are performance friendly.
