🌊 TerraFirmaSquid
A survival-centric TerraFirmaCraft modpack with lightweight quality-of-life tweaks and immersive enhancements. 🧱 What is TerraFirmaSquid?
TerraFirmaSquid is a curated modpack built around TerraFirmaCraft (TFC) for Minecraft 1.20.1, aiming to enrich the harsh, rewarding survival gameplay of TFC while adding carefully selected improvements and integrations.
