Frequently asked questions

How do I start a new world with Terrarium Expanded?
Create a new world and select Terrarium Expanded as your world type during world creation. You'll then be prompted to choose a zoom level (8–12) that determines your world size and terrain detail; Zoom 10 is recommended for most players as a balanced starting point.
What zoom level should I pick?
Zoom 8–9 load fastest but show broad terrain; Zoom 10 balances detail and performance; Zoom 11–12 show finer real-world accuracy but generate chunks slower. Pick Zoom 10 unless you have a powerful PC or want faster loading on older hardware.
How do I find a specific real-world location in my Minecraft world?
Use the mod's coordinate conversion tools (found in the guides or mod documentation) to translate real-world latitude/longitude into Minecraft X/Z coordinates, then use `/tp` to jump there or navigate manually.
Why is my world generation so slow?
Higher zoom levels (11–12) and biome mod integration both increase generation time. Enable tile caching in your config so downloaded terrain data is saved locally—revisiting areas will load much faster on subsequent visits.
