Tropicraft Legacy
by _BIG_G_
Tropicraft Legacy brings back the tropical paradise dimension of Tropicraft as a continuation of the 1.12.2 version for Forge.
What it does
The mod adds a tropical themed dimension full of blue water, flora, fauna and building blocks. It continues the 1.12.2 line of Tropicraft, reimplementing features that were lost in earlier releases, such as the dart gun, which now fires like a bow, and the Fire Pit decoration, which can be crafted again. Coconut Bombs are found in structures once more and drop Tropicreepers.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with 7.1.9.128 as the latest file from 2026-09-04. Forestry, Immersive Engineering, Railcraft and Thermal Expansion are optional dependencies that add recipes and ore dictionary entries when present. The code is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with public links to source, issue tracker and wiki.
