Terrestria FAQ

Terrestria biomes generate naturally alongside vanilla biomes, so explore new chunks rather than existing ones. If you want to preview them, use a biome-finding command or teleport to unexplored areas, since already-loaded chunks won't retroactively gain the new biomes.

Cypress is the most complete wood set and grows in wetland biomes, so it's a good first target. Chop a Cypress Log, craft planks, and you can immediately make the full range of Cypress building blocks including boats, signs, doors, and shelves.

Plant the sapling on dirt, grass, or Andisol and give it space and light like a vanilla sapling. Bryce Trees and Japanese Maples need vertical clearance to grow, so clear leaves and blocks above them before waiting.

Most failures come from blocked space above the sapling or planting on the wrong soil. Make sure there's enough headroom for the trunk and canopy, and that the block below is a valid soil like dirt, grass, Andisol, or podzol.

Both spawn naturally in Terrestria's dry biomes and can be broken by hand or with any tool. You can replant them on sand, dirt, or Andisol to farm more, and they're used for decorative and crafting purposes.

Andisol is Terrestria's volcanic soil family, including grass, podzol, farmland, and dirt path variants. It behaves like vanilla dirt for farming and building, and its grass and podzol variants match the mod's biome palette.

Take Andisol (or Andisol Grass Block) and use a hoe on it the same way you'd till vanilla dirt. The resulting Andisol Farmland supports crops just like normal farmland.

Craft a normal Cypress Boat first, then combine it with a chest in a crafting grid the same way vanilla boats with chests work. The same pattern applies to Hemlock, Japanese Maple, Rainbow Eucalyptus, Redwood, and Rubber boats.

Yes — Terrestria boats behave like vanilla boats for riding, and boats with chests store items the same way. They're just reskinned to match each wood type, so any vanilla boat mechanic applies.

Terrestria is generally lightweight, but adding many biome mods together can increase worldgen load and cause chunk-generation lag. If you see performance drops, reduce the number of biome mods or lower your render distance rather than blaming Terrestria alone.

Terrestria is a biomes mod that adds 17 major biomes supported by 24 component biomes, 9 new wood types, and a selection of foliage. It also registers 160 items and blocks, including new wood sets, plants, and soil blocks.

The Modrinth project page lists Minecraft versions 25w45a, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2.

Terrestria runs on the Fabric mod loader, and the Modrinth page also lists Quilt as a supported loader. There are no plans to port it to Forge.

Yes, Terrestria requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API.

Terrestria adds 17 major biomes with 24 component biomes. Named biomes include Caldera, Cypress Forest, Cypress Swamp, Dense Woodlands, Hemlock Rainforest, Japanese Maple Forest, Lush Redwood Forest, Rainbow Rainforest, Redwood Forest, Sakura Forest, Snowy Hemlock Forest, Volcanic Island, Canyon, Dunes, Lush Desert, Oasis, and Outback.

Terrestria adds 9 new wood types, including cypress, hemlock, and Japanese maple. Each wood type has a full set of blocks such as planks, logs, doors, fences, signs, and boats.

Yes, Terrestria registers 160 items and blocks. These include wood sets, plants like agave and aloe vera, soil blocks like andisol, and volcanic rock bricks.

The Caldera is an alpine area with imposing but barren cliffs. At the top there is a turquoise lake and an oasis with a glacial environment around it.

The Volcanic Island is a warm tropical island biome dotted with volcanoes, palm trees, and two custom plants: monstera and Indian paintbrush. It features basalt, basalt sand, and basalt soil.

Traverse is Terrestria's sister mod and works well alongside it for a Vanilla+ style biome set. Cinderscapes is the Terraformers Nether biome expansion and complements Terrestria.
