Tellus Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need internet to play Tellus Mod?
Yes, you need an active internet connection because the mod streams real-world map data while you play. Without it, terrain generation will fail or be incomplete.
How do I teleport to a different location on Earth?
Open the in-game map menu (check your keybinds) and search for or select a real-world location, then confirm to teleport there. The mod will generate the terrain for that area.
Why is my game running slowly with this mod?
Tellus Mod streams large amounts of data, which is demanding. Enable Distant Horizons support in the mod settings to reduce lag, lower your render distance, and make sure your internet connection is stable.
Can I turn off villages and temples?
Yes, in the Geological and Structure Settings you can toggle off regular Minecraft structures like villages, temples, and ruins while keeping the real-world terrain.
How do I make mountains taller or shorter?
Go to World Settings and use the mountain height slider to increase or decrease how tall peaks are compared to real-world data.
Will the weather in my game match real life?
If you enable Live Weather in the Real-Time Settings, the mod will pull actual weather conditions for your location and make it rain or snow in-game when it happens in reality.
What does the sea level slider do?
The sea level slider in World Settings shifts all terrain up or down so you can adjust where the ocean sits relative to the land, helping you find the right balance for your world.
Can I use this mod for regular survival gameplay?
The mod works best for exploration and sightseeing; some regular Minecraft features are missing or altered, so traditional survival play may feel incomplete.
How do I preview terrain before I start exploring?
Use the built-in preview screen in the mod menu to see how the terrain will look at your chosen location before you spawn there.
What does the 'meters per block' setting change?
This World Setting controls how many real-world meters fit into one Minecraft block, which scales the entire world up or down—higher values make the world smaller and more compressed.
