Stilled TFC
A calming and beautiful TerraFirmaCraft experience on 1.21.1 with QOL additions, ambiance, and a steady framerate!
Stilled TFC is a modpack built around TerraFirmaCraft that makes the world more beautiful. You'll see waves upon the beaches, hear winds in the grasses, and see land as far as the horizon of the Earth. It does all this while maintaining a high FPS. I've worked hard to make this modpack as cohesive as possible while being as performant as possible.
For the best experience, I'd recommend allocating between 4gb and 6gb of ram and using Eclipse Temurin 25 with -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+UseCompactObjectHeaders JVM arguments. See here for more detailed information on which JVM arguments to use and what they do!

Pssst, don't have Prism Launcher or the Modrinth App but still like the look of this? You can click the link below to convert the most recent version of this modpack to a .zip containing all the modpack's resources. This conversion is done locally, so be patient.
With these resources you're able to import Stilled TFC into any launcher! I've made guides for the CurseForge app and the Minecraft Launcher below.
Modpack Converter: .mrpack to .zip
Importing into the CurseForge app
Begin by opening the CurseForge app, once opened click on the + Create button to start a new modpack.
-
Fill out the data like so:
Modpack Name:Stilled TFC
Minecraft Version:1.21.1
Game Type:NeoForge
Modloader Version:[Select the most recent version] -
Once the modpack has finished setting up, navigate to the modpack folder:
From within the modpack click on the three dots next toPlaythen head toOpen Folder ↗
If instead on the main page, first right click on the modpack then head toOpen Folder ↗ -
Bring over the .zip containing all of Stilled TFC now. To finish off the modpack import you will need to extract the .zip in the modpack directory. Make certain the contents are extracted directly into the modpack directory! If you get a folder containing all the files, move those files into the modpack directory.
You're fine to delete the zip after completing these steps. To update the modpack in the future, delete the mods, resourcepacks, datapacks, and config folder before repeating step 3.
Importing into the Minecraft Launcher
-
Download the NeoForged Installer, select
1.21.1as the Minecraft Version and use the latest NeoForged Version. I'd suggest following the entire installation section of the NeoForged docs. -
Now that you have NeoForged installed on the Minecraft Launcher and have decided on whether to make a separate profile or not, navigate to that profile directory.
(What the NeoForged docs and I refer to asprofilesare labeledInstallationswithin the Minecraft Launcher. Me referring to them asInstallationswould lead to confusion however) -
