Essential TerraFirmaCraft (TFC)

by gaelmare · on CurseForge

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

⬇ Download for 1.21.9⬇ Download for 1.20.1⬇ Download for 1.18.2
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

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, while only adding shaders in 1.21 or large content changes.

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

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.
