Minecraft Servers

Each has whitelisting enabled¹. Associated mods are listed with both their CurseForge [CF] and Modrinth [M] hosting links. Pictures may come down the line, but, for now, these words shall be enough hopefully.

Vanilla [1.21.5] #

Address: mc.dorkbutt.lol

Made so that not a single mod is needed, but client-side² additions are still welcome.

Fabric Server Modlist:

• Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (C2ME) [CF] [M]
• Disconnect Packet Fix [CF] [M]
• Distant Horizons [CF] [M]
• Lithium [CF] [M]
• No Chat Reports [CF] [M]
• Simple Voice Chat [CF] [M]
• Styled Nicknames [CF] [M]
• Voice Chat Interaction [CF] [M]
• ViaFabricPlus [CF] [M]

Distant Horizons and Simple Voice Chat are the only mods that have effects if also downloaded by the player. For Distant Horizons, it means adding to the server’s shared database so that every player has the same amount of map revealed to them for a shared blocky backdrop. Simple Voice Chat is, firstly, a voice chat to communicate to people in-game, but it’s paired with Voice Chat Interaction which makes talking tangible in situations like creeping around in the Deep Dark.

Modded [1.20.1] #

Address: tfgm.dorkbutt.lol

TerraFirmaGreg-Modern [Pack 0.9.8]

A modpack that I’ve added optional more mods to (which unfortunately means more work for people trying to connect..).

Additional mods:

• TFC Caelum [CF] [M]
  • Knowing that most people I’ll whitelist are not going to be on MacOS, this felt like a necessary mod to liven the atmosphere with a better sky.
  • Also needs its base mod as a dependency, Caelum, but most modpack loaders should automatically add it to allow TFC Caelum to function.
• Distant Horizons [CF] [M]
  • Why not? Plus it can be used for the alternate TerraFirmaCraft terrain generation.
• Simple Voice Chat [CF] [M]
  • To make it more like real life or something. At least for the first half of the pack. Uninterested in relying purely on stuff like Discord.
  • Voice Chat Interaction [CF] [M]
    • Added for the sake of continuity for voice tangibility.

REMOVED mods:

• Lootr [CF] [M]
  • Something about this mod irks me. The same way how the The Finals always centers your character as if you’re always the focus, even in its world.

Getting Connected #

Let’s assume the player setting up is completely new. For this guide, the launcher I personally use will be used.

1. Download Prism Launcher.³
   • Take note of the system downloading. ⁴
2. Open the app, it will give you some introductory prompts.
   • Hopefully, its claim of auto-downloading Java rings true. If you continue and find out you can’t launch the game, meet back here.
     • Really simple actual. Download its prebuilt developer kit from Adoptium
       • For the case of these servers, the latest version will do great.
     • Return to Prism Launcher, along the top go to Menu > Java (on the lefthand side now) and click on “Auto-detect…”. Another new dialog! Select whatever is latest (most likely 21.0.3).
3. Top right corner of the app, click on the head and select “Manage Accounts…” which’ll take you to the Settings! From there, toward the top right corner is “Add Microsoft”.

Minecraft is now ready to be downloaded and ran!

Vanilla #

Unless mods are wanted, there is no need for special prep’ to play. Hell, the whole previous section could be skipped.

4. “Add Instance”, name it something sweet (the latest version is already selected), and toward the bottom right corner select Fabric or Quilt (again, the latest will be selected). And click OK!
5. Either right-click the Instance you just created in the body of the app or look to the right side after selecting the Instance (with a single left-click) to find your way to Edit.
6. Open the Mods tab on the left of this new window.
7. Now search for the mods to add! If one can’t be found on one platform, select the other.
   • Either double click the mods wanted or go to the bottom right and click “Select mod for download” after left-click selection. When selected, it’ll become bolded and underlined with its latest version selected. From there, it is possible to search for more to add where, doing the same, will add them to a list that afterward can be downloaded when clicking “Review and confirm”.
     • Each mod may be individually downloaded if it is easier to keep track of what is added to the instance.
8. Ready for “Launch”!

Modded #

4. “Add Instance”, name it something sweet (like what was done with Vanilla), go to the left-hand side of the new window, and select “CurseForge”.
5. Directly adjacent to the selection should be the search function that can start having “TerraFirmaGreg-Modern” typed into it (the whole name won’t be necessary).
6. A pink ringed planet should be an option, select it and check the version on the bottom right corner for what is listed just below its section on this page above. Press OK once the proper version is selected.
7. Mod-specific changes are needed, so select the created instance and go to Edit > Mods:
   • Proceed to “Download mods” to add the extra mods (TFC Caelum is the only required one, the others are only complimentary (though welcome)).
     • Searching for and selecting “TFC Caelum” will be enough since, upon selection and clicking “Review and confirm”, the dependency will also be listed. Click “OK” to continue with the download.
   • At the bottom, there is a filter. Type “Lootr” and remove the checkmark for the only entry listed. Then “Close”!
8. Ready for “Launch”!
