      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

    Why the hell would you be metal working IRL anyway?

    The reason, my friend, is for blacksmithing. You can create knives, swords, cast decorative pieces, custom create tools for around the yard, and just for the awesome feeling of heating a piece of steel to glowing yellow and hammering it out, completely bending to your will.

    Charcoal is certainly different between different wood types, however, usually the effects are negligible. In fact, contrary to what you might think, charcoal creating from pine is more sought over than charcoal created from a hardwood, as the pine burns much faster and hotter, which makes a difference when you are trying to heat up metal to forge. The downside of this pine/hemlock charcoal is the fact that it produces a lot of sparks, which really isn't an issue in minecraft. I recently ran out of charcoal I had made for blacksmithing, but still wanted to continue without making more charcoal (IRL mind you) So I went and picked up a bag of bituminous coal. Let me say, I am now an avid supporter of coal. Minecraft's 1:1 value of charcoal to coal is completely unrealistic, as I burn just a handful of coal when I do a burn, instead of a whole box full of charcoal for a burn. As well, coal burns immensely hotter, I even managed to melt my knife right off (so long 3 days worth of work :'( _) Anyhow, the point of this is that even though hardwood may seem a better wood for charcoal, and it is for uses such as bbq'ing, softwood tends to be better for metal working purposes.

    BTW: If ever doing IRL metal working, USE COAL. You will save soooo much time and energy.

    Just to be clear, I will state here and in OP as to what mods I already have, to save you guys some time :)

    -TFC (of course)

    -Optifine (farther render distance FTW!)

    -Rei's Minimap

    Do note I do not have smart moving installed, never tried it, and I just haven't felt led to try now.

    I noticed some of you had buildcraft and redpower. How do you get around the recipes to craft them?

    Hello all. I have a curious request to make.

    -What mods do you use alongside TFC?

    -Are these mods smp friendly?

    -What mods would you recommend to help with running a server? (plugin-like things, enhancements etc.)

    - I just recently decided to make a small server for my friends and I, and just would like some feedback as to what might make our experience that much better. Thanks guys,

    -Sirbrandino.

    P.S. - Just to be clear, I will state here and in a lower post as to what mods I already have, to save you guys some time :)

    -TFC (of course)

    -Optifine (farther render distance FTW!)

    -Rei's Minimap
