Terra Nova
Terra Nova is a NeoForge adventure mod that reshapes early progression, so the vanilla path from bare hands to better tools is gated by new steps and world features.
What it does
Terra Nova changes the vanilla progression system by adding world-building features along the way. Early play starts more bare-bones, and foraging leads to upgrades through flint and bone hatchets. Furnace and kiln, and crafting table and field crafting table, follow a set order, and everything is gated in a deliberate sequence. Files exist for 26.1.2 only, on NeoForge, with 1.1.1 as the latest build from 2026-06-12. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not public under an open license; All rights reserved applies.
Key features
Gated progression
Upgrades to tools and stations come in order, so each stage depends on the one before it.
Campfire and kiln steps
Campfires and the kiln fit into the early stages, with the kiln following the furnace in the sequence.
Shelf fungi
Shelf fungi inspired by Creeping Mushrooms are added as a decorative and world-building element.
