Description

'Survive. Adapt. Thrive.'

 Summary:

Forged Earth is a survival modpack based on TerraFirmaCraft. Start from scratch in a harsh, realistic world and survive using expanded crafting, automation, and food systems. A questing system is included (WIP) to help guide progression. Play solo or with friends using Essential Mod for easy multiplayer.

Key Features:

  • TerraFirmaCraft
  • FirmaLife
  • Create
  • Imersive Engineering
  • Farmer’s Delight
  • Essential Mod
  • Custom Questing

Optimized with Embeddium, FerriteCore, Chunky, ModernFix, and more for smooth performance.

I can get over 120 FPS on outdated 2016 hardware.

Testing setup:

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 3GB VRAM
  • Quad-core Intel i7-7700 - 3.6 GHz
  • 16 GB of DDR4 - 2400 MHz

We’re building Forged Earth together!
