TFGF

by NotAShelf

TFGF is a Forge extension for TerraFirmaGreg that tracks how familiar a player is with each tool and rewards steady use of one tool.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Familiarity is stored on each individual tool and grows through qualifying work, such as mining, melee hits and attacks with projectiles that carry held weapon damage. A tool that has been used well survives repair and gains practical benefits, so a heavily used GTCEu tool feels distinct from a freshly crafted copy. The system is meant to make tools feel personal instead of interchangeable, and it adds weight to the decision to keep one tool instead of crafting duplicates.

TFGF needs TerraFirmaCraft 3.2.0 or newer and GTCEu Modern, and it works alongside TerraFirmaGreg. Balance, progression and XP values are controlled by a server-side configuration file. The client needs the mod installed to display networked feedback and tooltips, while the server needs it for the progression itself. Administrative mutation commands require permission level 2.

Files are published for Forge, with 6 release versions covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. The latest Forge file is 2.0.0 for 1.20.6, released on 2026-08-10. The mod is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Per-tool familiarity

    Each tool keeps its own familiarity value, so the progress of one tool does not transfer to another.

  2. Capped rank progression

    Familiarity XP is capped at a final rank, and each action is limited by per-action caps set for breaking, attacking and killing.

  3. Repeat-break limits

    Breaking the same position repeatedly is rate-limited, and the tracking state for those positions is pruned continuously.

  4. Careful Handling tier

    The Careful Handling tier arrives at level 3, and tools that reach it gain practical benefits after vanilla GTCEu applies wear.

  5. Configurable balance

    Server owners set balance and XP values through a server-side configuration file.

What the author says

Tool familiarity for TerraFirmaGreg. Practice, maintenance, and technique. TFGF, short for TerraFirmaGreg Familiarity, makes a well-used GTCEu tool feel meaningfully different from a fresh one. Familiarity belongs to the individual tool, grows through appropriate work, survives repair, and unlocks practical benefits…
