TFCIE Crossover - Aging Quartz

by Wizzzy

TFCIE Crossover - Aging Quartz is a Forge addon that makes budding quartz blocks follow the calendar of TerraFirmaCraft, so their growth continues while a chunk is unloaded.

What it does

Budding quartz blocks from the TFC + IE Crossover addon normally stop growing when their chunk is not loaded. This mod records a lastUpdate timestamp for each chunk, and when the chunk loads again it checks the budding quartz inside and brings growth up to date. A player who returns after some time finds the blocks further along rather than unchanged, which keeps the TerraFirmaCraft progression consistent.

The growth simulation uses a Poisson probabilistic calculation to estimate how many growth steps the budding blocks have gone through during the time away. The mod also adds a catch-up aging step for beach salts, and it includes a config option applied during first-time world generation. It depends on Immersive Engineering, Patchouli, TFC + IE Crossover and TerraFirmaCraft, and it is published for Forge across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under the MIT License. The source code is public and the project is open source.

Key features

  1. Catch-up growth for quartz

    Budding quartz blocks are brought up to date when their chunk loads again, based on the time elapsed since the last update.

  2. Timestamp per chunk

    Each chunk stores a lastUpdate timestamp, which the mod compares against the current time when the chunk is loaded.

  3. Probabilistic growth estimate

    A Poisson-based calculation estimates how many growth steps budding blocks completed while they were not simulated.

  4. Beach salt catch-up

    Beach salts receive the same catch-up aging, so their progress also follows the TerraFirmaCraft calendar.

What the author says

This mod is aimed to fix the fact that TFC+IEC's quartz in the overworld is implemented as a vanilla amethys. The player would have to constantly stay in the same chunk of the geode and chunkload it for at least 90 minutes on average to (hopefully) grow fully. But with this mod, you can go back to your base and go…
