Shared health with over 100 players would be so chaotic 💀

[@ZenxoXD]

that would be def impossible to beat minercaft

10 players falling 5 blocks would kill everyone

3:54 - "This is one of the biggest mods available for minecraft" It's big enough and the community active enough that you could actually make a "10 Unique TFC Addon Mods Everyone Should Try" video

FirmaCiv and Firmalife are basically must-haves if you ask me.

[@KyanoAng3l0]

TFC wasn't this big back in its 1.7.10 days. If not for Alcatraz reviving the mod for 1.12+, TFC may have died off years ago (along with my interest in MC altogether if not for the 1.13+ updates).

Can we petition to make "10 Unique Mods" a new thing? Showing off mods that do outlandish things never tried before that really deserve a lot more love could be both a lot of fun and useful for underappreciated creators.

[@streetwind.]

Terrafirmacraft is less of a mod and more of a Total Conversion :D I'll throw Dynamic Trees in the ring for unique mods. I've certainly never seen another mod that does the same thing. Even TFC only does something like it for a small number of special fruit trees, whereas Dynamic Trees just goes and makes every tree of every kind in the entire world grow steadily and organically.

[@crosie93]

Millinaire! This is a pretty old mod, 1.12.2, but if unique mods are getting mentioned, I have never seen anyone do anything quite like Millenaire does with villages. I would be thrilled if someone updated or recreated it for more modern versions. Villages trading with other villages, (or raiding them)! No other village overhaul mod quite stacks up in my opinion.

[@omphya6229]

He's mentioned millenaire before once. But that is not enough

[@Zonose]

I LOVE the Millenaire mod! The learning languages, selling tools for coin, buying back materials, you can even straight up just give them materials, or sell materials to them, and they will immediately go to work expanding their village if they get the right materials, with a list in their town hall showing what they need. Them also have different levels of relationships with other villages including aggressive, and having it be announced makes it strangely political but I love it.

[@feidry]

If you like TFC, check out Vintage Story. Standalone game built on a custom engine heavily inspired by TFC and Lovecraft.

Hell yeah TFC! I'm so glad you're mentioning this mod, hopefully this will create a new wave of people who will go on and try this mod. I mean hell, with the amount of stuff in TFC, you could make a whole ass video on it

[@hercar20xx5]

Some people made a really good game based off it and the game looks similar to Minecraft but definitely its own thing

[@corki9930]

@@hercar20xx5 Vintage Story? Yeah I've had my eyes on it for years Definitely gonna try it once I do a multiplayer playthrough with a couple of friends

[@turkler1719]

speaking of unique mods, I'd recommend everyone try Valheim Hunger at least once. it replaces the whole hunger system with one where you start with three hearts and gain more by eating. The twist, compared to more like Spice of Life, is the duration and amount of these hearts depend on how filling that food us. Eating feasts from the Farmer's Delight mod can even get you over ten hearts for quite some time while eating small, common food like carrots only give you a handful of hearts for a short duration. personally it was the only mod that made me really engage with the various cooking mods I have installed

[@KyanoAng3l0]

TFC kept me playing MC after losing interest in the vanilla game back in 1.7. It offered the kind of survival gameplay I wanted in MC. It was supposed to get a full rewrite (TFC 2) with new mechanics and stuff, but the orig. creator later abandoned the project. If not for the 1.12+ revival, it might've become a forgotten gem. Great to see the mod finally getting the popularity and love it deserves.

[@TAIREX666]

Try Vintage Story, it has that TFC gameplay mechanics and is constantly being updated, not to mention the plethora of mods.

[@KyanoAng3l0]

@@TAIREX666 Already did. Fantastic game. In fact, I'm building a Minecraft mod pack that's inspired by TFC and VS, tho it's more like a middle ground bet. vanilla MC and TFC/VS.

[@durgun8247]

If you want to do a terrafirmacraft playthrough I highly recommend finding other people to play it with. Getting to the next stage in the tech tree can get very grindy in singleplayer, but if you have multiple people it doesn't take much time at all. TFC is a realism mod that tries to be fun instead of punishing you for breathing, it's harder overall, but easier in certain ways. For example, food is easier to come by, but it spoils. Ores are very sparse, there can be more than a hundred blocks between deposits, but when you find one you'll have more metal than you know what to do with. Also, a mod that adds NPCs to help you could be awesome with TFC.

[@corki9930]

God I'd kill for some kind of settlement building mod like MineColonies that works with TFC But it's hard because TFC changes so much that alot of it jus won't work with the systems TFC changes from vanilla

[@TeutonicViking]

There is a minecolonies TFC compat addon in the works, but development is slow from what I know. However I kinda think TFC needs a more unique and in-depth Settlement building mod, cause I don't think the minecolonies style fits.

[@corki9930]

Holy shit really? Do you have a link to where I can check up on progress for the mod?Something like a Curseforge page or a Discord?@@TeutonicViking

[@Pyritie]

if you do play with other people I recommend coordinating times to play together, otherwise the season could advance too much and the other players' crops could keep dying. It really discouraged other friends when I tried playing it with them

[@durgun8247]

@@Pyritie And if that's not feasible you could have a rule that you have to take care of other people's crops if they can't. (doesn't prevent the issue of food spoiling but that's not a big issue with proper storage)

[@Sp0ntanCombust]

That TerraFirmaCraft looks super interesting!

[@noctusdoesthings]

Holy crap! TFC mention! I've always loved this mod since I first discovered it as a kid

[@TeutonicViking]

Terrafirmacraft!!!! Oh my god it feels so underappreciated whenever I bring it up in most modded communities!

[@bwezil]

From a 2012 MC Veteran, I’m so excited we’re going back to the mod review era as a Minecraft community. I feel like a lot of the heart of the community started from there- people geeking out about cool stuff fellow players made for a game they all love. It’s just neat.

[@DeathDiamond720]

Quick, informative, and straight to the point! I'll definitely be checking out these mods

[@SaltyWaterOriginal]

Hey Asian! Thanks for showcasing my mod (Sitting+) I'm so glad you're back! Another amazing video! Can I add this video to the mod front page?

[@FantasmaNaranja]

0:48 there used to be a really old mod from the minecraft betas that added realistic water physics and allowed you to do stuff like heating water above iron blocks to produce steam and eventually cause it to rain

[@DGKarmaYT]

Finally terrafirmacraft gets the recognition it deserves

[@TheLoganM9]

LOVE that TFC has FINALLY gotten a bit of attention, it's one of the most formative MC mods for me! (Also, love the usage of Hytale music in the vid)

[@BoogieLarry]

For your next mod showcase, I recommend that you check out "Dungeons and Taverns". Its an awesome and massively underrated vanilla+ exploration mod/data pack that fits perfectly with mods like the "Yungs Better" mod series and the "Friends and Foes" mod. It adds tons of lore/vanilla friendly structures that build onto the games aspects like the Illager and Witch society, and it adds in a new type of settlement with taverns out in the wilderness, where you can find beds to rest, helpful villager traders, and maps that will lead you to the coolest and rarest structures added by the mod. It has immediately become my favorite mod and deserves a shoutout!

[@BlueSiege01]

[@PsychedeliKompot]

Water Physics Overhaul is the first time something like this has been done in like a decade (to my knowledge). But there actually was a mod called (iirc) "Finite Liquids" or something for Beta 1.7.3, which did this exact same thing. I've been waiting for a proper finite water mod ever since. Glad we finally got one. The one for Beta 1.7.3 even had pipes and pumps iirc.

[@Peggio]

good to see you back!

[@gammaboy4568]

0:48 Believe it or not, a mod like this existed as far back as beta: it went by "Finite Liquids" and also implemented working sponges and pumps for fluid management. I think I've seen another attempt to bring back the idea of limited water sources at some point, possibly this same new mod, but I have forgotten the details about it. 2:33 this also was a thing before. The mentioned "Amethyst Gravity Mod" that the gravity changer API cites seems to pull a lot of inspiration from some past attempts.

Boids are based on a really old algorithm of the same name that dates as far back as the late 1990s, one of the earliest examples I can think of is in Half-Life, where they're used to direct the movement of the alien creatures of the same name.

[@FyreofShadow]

I remember an old mod that did gravity like that! IIRC it also added planetoids that could spawn around the world, and they actually acted as planets would regarding gravity.

[@hannibalranadal1839]

If you think TFC is crazy, there's an entire game called vintage story that was originally a very similar Minecraft mod but split off into it's own game

[@PurposMiglard]

Could you make a compilation of mods for an rpg themed game, also could you use epic fight? I find it better than better combat, thank you 😄

[@King_CreepaLot]

Limited water, holy smokes! I haven't seen something like that since Finite Liquids back in the old, old Tekkit packs!

[@hashymashy6853]

Terrafirmacraft is the best survival mod period. It makes making tools and armor an actual skill rather then just a crafting recipe. You could absolutely have whole towns that produce one thing just because its better for that area.

[@ToonedMinecraft]

DynamicTrees is still one of the coolest mods I think. It allows forests to naturally grow. The only downside is that it needs compatibility with many other mods to work properly.

[@RohanFlood]

Love your videos can you do a mod showcase of cobblemon plz

[@ESDAFable]

i believe TerraFirma's team now has its own game, Vintage Story, which really elevates the Minecraft style game play to a more down to earth survival sim with eldritch elements.

[@mikestahhh]

0:48 way back in like 2012 there was a 1.5.2 mod called finite liquid which did the same thing. impressive considering when it came out

[@corben3695]

Cuisine delight should be on this list imo, it lets you cook whatever you want and its system is similar to cooking games where you have to take care of each ingredient individually and time it right so everything cooks properly.

[@penguinsrockrgr8yt216]

I remember terrafirmacraft from way back in the day when ethoslab did a playthrough of it wonder how it’s changed since 1.7.10

[@corki9930]

A lot, the version you saw played in the video is a total rewrite of the original mod. The original was a victim of the whole conundrum that alot of modders had when updating 1.7.10 to 1.8 that killed a bunch of mods, TFC was one of them.

[@MaxGamer07wastaken]

Minecraft Comes Alive is an incredibly unique mod, in which it takes villagers and humanizes them. You can use your base player model or look like an NPC, and you can customize your character with different things. All villagers have these customization options randomized, as well as having their own personalities and traits. There are also new job positions that are more security related like guards and archers. You can interact with and even build relationships with these new, human villagers. You can even gain a status in the village and start making new buildings, like an infirmary or a graveyard for fallen villagers. If you really wanted, you could summon literally the grim reaper and kill him for his scythe. You can take this scythe and steal the soul of one villager to resurrect another villager at the graveyard, but they will come infected, and soon zombify. You can prevent this by giving them a golden apple. But be careful, killing any villager will automatically make all villagers really not like you. I mean, you murdered a person. Don't like exchanging souls? That's okay, you can instead use the scythe and craft a staff of life, which brings back villagers for free, with no infection. But, it is not cheap, costing a nether star to make, alongside the scythe. In any case, that's all I have to say, and I hope you consider this mod for a future video.
