FirmaLifeHardCore
by Coin0804
FirmaLifeHardCore reworks the cellar greenhouse and water pump mechanics of Firmalife, with enclosed-space detection, insulation-based temperature and a pump that feeds sprinklers.
What it does
Enclosed rooms are found automatically with a flood fill over the surrounding wall and container blocks, including walls that are placed broken. Each solid wall block adds thermal resistance based on its block tags, doors count as medium resistance, and double doors count for a 4 multiplier. The resulting cellar effective temperature decides whether a room behaves as a greenhouse, and lower values preserve food better. Greenhouse detection depends on insulating blocks forming a closed cellar.
The water pump draws from below and fills an irrigation tank that can hold 500 mB, plus 500 mB for each irrigation tank stacked directly above it, up to three. Fill rate follows the mechanical rotation speed of the pump, and pump reach is set by rotation. Fluid capacity is synced through NeoForge capabilities, and external fluid pipes can connect to the tanks. Installation needs Firmalife and TerraFirmaCraft as required dependencies, with Climate Station required by the greenhouse mechanics. Jade is optional and can display the blocks under the crosshair.
FirmaLifeHardCore is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 on NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The latest file is 0.3.4-beta, released 2026-08-31 on the beta channel.
Key features
Enclosed space detection
Enclosed rooms are found by a flood fill with dynamic bounding-box tracking, so changes to walls are picked up.
Insulated cellar greenhouse
Insulating blocks form a functional greenhouse, with the effective temperature set by the indoor and outdoor base values.
Staggered sprinkler supply
Each sprinkler draws 5 mB per spray cycle of 80 ticks, and five sprinklers match the pump's 25 mB per 80 ticks injection.
Probe-safe water checks
Lookups that do not consume water leave the pump untouched, so other mods' periodic checks only read the water level.

Does FirmaLifeHardCore need Firmalife and TerraFirmaCraft?
Must the mod be installed on the server as well?
Does the pump work with external fluid pipes?
