TFC Caelum

by Verph

TFC Caelum adds lunar and solar eclipses, blood moons and rainbows to TerraFirmaCraft, tied to its calendar and season system.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverBSD 2-Clause License1.20.1

What it does

Caelum is the base mod for sky events in the TerraFirmaCraft world. It adds lunar eclipses, which are also called blood moons, and solar eclipses, plus rainbows that appear after rain. During blood moons, surface monsters become more common, and the effect grows stronger when a supermoon falls on the same night. The mod is built for worlds where TerraFirmaCraft's calendar and season system drives the sky.

TFC Caelum is an addon that works on top of Caelum and bridges its elements with TerraFirmaCraft mechanics such as the calendar and season system. It expands the features Caelum provides, and it depends on both Caelum and TerraFirmaCraft to function. Compatibility with every mod that changes the moon cycle or the sun and moon sky is not established. Players who use another sky mod may need to disable TFC's Calendar Sensitive Moon Phases option, since otherwise the moon phases can appear out of place.

The mod is released for Forge and NeoForge, with a single file for 1.20.1. Both the server and every player need it, because the environment is client and server. It is released under the BSD 2-Clause License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Lunar eclipses

    Lunar eclipses, also called blood moons, change the night sky and raise the number of surface monsters.

  2. Solar eclipses

    Solar eclipses darken the sky during the day, adding an event that follows the calendar.

  3. Rainbows after rain

    Rainbows appear once a rain shower ends, adding a visual effect to the sky.

  4. Supermoon interaction

    A supermoon on a blood moon night increases the surface monster presence further.

Questions

Does TFC Caelum need Caelum and TerraFirmaCraft?

Yes. Both Caelum and TerraFirmaCraft are required dependencies, and the mod does not work without them.

Should the server and players both install TFC Caelum?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Why do moon phases look wrong with other sky mods?

The author notes that TFC's Calendar Sensitive Moon Phases option can place moon phases out of sync, so it may need to be disabled.

What the author says

There's no guarantee that the mod will work with any random mod that also makes changes to e.g. the moon cycle and/or location of either the sun and/or the moon on the sky. Additionally disable TFC's Calendar Sensitive Moon Phases configuration, as otherwise the moon phases will be out of place. This naturally…
