TerraFirmaCraft is a total-conversion mod that reshapes Minecraft into a challenging, immersive survival experience, with world generation built around plate tectonics, branching rivers, mountain ranges, diverse climates and forests, and distinctive terrain such as volcanoes, ice sheets, and tropical plateaus. Its underground features layered rock and large, sparse ore deposits, while exploration can reveal mixed-quality mineral veins, hot springs, deep-ocean magma springs, and geologically varied caves. A progression from pottery and pit kilns through charcoal production, bloomery iron, bronze, and steel gives players successive ways to work materials and expand their technology. Seasons, weather, climate, and a calendar shape the world over time: crops and fruit trees have preferred growing seasons, autumn brings falling leaves and color changes, and winter makes food stockpiling important for survival. Survival also depends on tending a living landscape of wild crops, fruits, plants, and animals, while managing food spoilage, nutrition, thirst, and cooking. The Field Guide, available in-game from the start, introduces the core systems and offers guidance on early survival, metalworking, farming, animals, and the mod's crafting systems.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, sounds and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
