Essential TerraFirmaCraft (TFC)

WARNING, 3.0.9 will crash on second launch.

Remove the first line from the options.txt file to fix! I’ve archived it so no new downloads are possible.

Curious about TerraFirmaCraft and want to play a curated modpack with just TFC? This modpack is for you!

Designed for the beginner TerraFirmaCraft player in 1.18/1.20/1.21, planned as a modpack that someone can just recommend for new arrivals to the TFC TNG community.

I’ve selected a few content addons and my favorite Quality of Play mods, and adding shaders in 1.21.

TerraFirmaCraft addons:

Barrels 2012 – Allows large items and lanterns in the back slot

Water Flasks – leather and iron flasks with durability

TFCGyres-OreHints – adds hint rocks for all mineral veins, buffs veins a lot in 1.18, just adds mountain iron in 1.20 and 1.21.

QoL(Quality of Life) Mods:

Jade – for in-game display of items, critical in TFC to know what you’re looking at!

JEI – all kinds of recipe questions

Xaero’s mini-map and world map – because making over 100 waypoints is not unusual in TFC gameplay

Controlling – because custom keybinds make me happy

Performance Mods:

Embeddium/Extras/Dynamic Lights – Improves graphical performance and adds dynamic lighting

Ferrite Core – Improves memory usage

Dependencies:

Patchouli – for TFC, provides the in-inventory book

Curios API – for back slot access

Version specific notes:

In 1.18, rock layer sizes are essentially the same as in 1.7, which are too big for single-player or small server use. I added my TFCGyres-RockLayerSize mod to decrease rock layer sizes by 50%.

In 1.20, worldgen and rock layer sizes are very different, and quite acceptable, so this is not needed.

1.20 adds the “Searchables” library mod, a required dependency for Controlling. It allows keybind searching by mod, which is super helpful!

1.20 also adds the ModernFix performance mod for several bugfixes and enhancements.

1.21 adds several other mods for QoL and appearance.
