Configuration

Editing

TerraFirmaCraft places three configuration files in the Minecraft config folder: TFCConfig.cfg, TFCCrafting.cfg, and TFCOre.cfg. The config folder is located next to the mods folder (where TFC is installed), and .cfg files can be edited with any text editor such as Notepad, WordPad, or Notepad++. To make changes to a config file, first make sure the game has been completely closed. Then make the desired changes to the .cfg file, making sure to save those changes before closing out of the editor. The next time the game is launched, the changes will be applied.

Alternatively, there is a custom screen for editing the configs while the game is loaded. To access this screen, click on the Mods button of the title screen. Then select TerraFirmaCraft (not TFC[coremod]) from the list of mods, and click on the Config button.

Note: For the majority of config options, it is perfectly safe to make changes to use on an existing save. The only exceptions are changing onionsAreGross, which will result in all onions/rutabagas items in inventories being deleted; and yearLength, which when modified will drastically change the current calendar date of the world. Servers will also temporarily overwrite client configs while the player is connected, so users do not need to make any changes to their files in order to experience the changes applied on a server.

TFCOre.cfg

This file is used to determine the world generation of ores. Other mod ores can be added to this file to have them generate with TFC's terrain. Note: This config file can only be used to add ores from mods that use standard blocks, and not tile entities for their ores. Mods that use tile entities for their ore blocks, such as GregTech, cannot have their ores generated using TFC. Standard block metadata does not go higher than 15, so if the oreMeta is a larger number than that, the ore is a tile entity, and will not work.

Option	Default Value	Description
bismuthinite
Horizontal Density	60	How dense the ore vein is horizontally, out of 100.
Maximum Height	128	The maximum y-level the vein can spawn at.
Minimum Height	5	The minimum y-level the vein can spawn at.
Vertical Density	80	How dense the ore vein is vertically, out of 100.
baseRocks	igneous extrusive sedimentary	The stone type the ore can spawn in. Can be a category or a specific rock. Entries should be all lowercase, with each new entry on a new line.
oreMeta	7	The metadata (damage value) of the ore. Must be between 0 and 15.
oreName	terrafirmacraft:Ore1	The block name of the ore.
rarity	100	Veins will spawn in 1 out of X chunks.
size	medium	The size of the vein. Choices are large, medium or small.
type	veins	The shape of the ore spawn. A type of default will spawn the ore in clusters.
