Tellus: Real Earth Survival

v0.10.1 — First public release The first public version of the pack. Built and tested over a multi-month dev cycle on NeoForge 1.21.1; everything below has been smoke-tested in survival play sessions. Expect rough edges typical of a new pack — please file issues with logs if you hit anything unusual.

What this pack is A real-Earth survival pack built on Tellus (real terrain, real biomes, real coastlines) with a Create-centric tech tree and a deliberate survival realism layer.

Headline features Tellus generates the overworld from real elevation and biome data — go build a base on Preikestolen, sail the actual North Sea, walk the Sahara. Create 6.0 + Create Aeronautics + 14 Create addons including TFMG, Big Cannons, Crafts & Additions, New Age, Ironworks, Connected, Encased, Garnished, Power Grid, Power Loader, Copper & Zinc, Dragons Plus, Dreams & Desires, and Enchantment Industry. Distant Horizons 3.0 + Iris + Solas Shader preconfigured — view the real-Earth terrain at the scale it deserves. Custom Market Stalls mod — placeable trading blocks with a 4-currency trade system (emeralds, diamonds, oak logs, spruce logs). Designed as a fallback for biome-locked items in a real-world map where some resources are geographically scarce. Survival realism layer Serene Seasons — yearly cycle with biome temperature shifts Tough As Nails — temperature, hypothermia, heatstroke Thirst Was Taken — hydration meter Naturalist — bears, lions, alligators, deer, foxes, and more populating real biomes Better Combat — melee depth so wildlife is actually dangerous Spice of Life: Onion — diet variety bonuses Multiplayer & QoL Open Parties And Claims — chunk claims + party system Xaero's Minimap + World Map — full integration with OPAC claim overlays Chat Heads, No Chat Reports, Inventory Profiles Next, Better Advancements Sophisticated Storage, Sophisticated Backpacks, Carry On EMI + JEI + JER + Jade Sound & decoration Sound Physics Remastered — spatial audio with occlusion and reverb Ambient Sounds — biome-aware nature sounds Supplementaries, Chipped, Macaw's Bridges/Doors/Roofs/Trapdoors, Dramatic Doors Other notable inclusions Immersive Engineering 12.4 — heavy industry alongside Create Farmer's Delight — cooking and crops Sodium + Sodium Extra + EntityCulling + ModernFix — performance baseline Comforts, Corpse, Clumps, Polymorph, OK Zoomer, and the rest of the standard 1.21.1 QoL set Requirements Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge 21.1.228+ Java 21 RAM 12 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended (real-Earth chunk generation + Distant Horizons + Sodium ecosystem all want headroom) Known limitations Tellus's NeoForge port (v0.1.0) is alpha software — first-load chunk generation is bandwidth-bound on its tile-fetch backend. Server admins should pre-generate around spawn. Cold Sweat 2.4 is not in this pack — it is currently incompatible with Tellus on NeoForge 1.21.1 due to a tag-binding lifecycle ordering bug in Cold Sweat that runs before NeoForge has bound tags. Tough As Nails covers the same survival ground. FTB Chunks/Library/Teams are CurseForge-exclusive on 1.21.1, so the pack uses Open Parties And Claims instead.
