Terralith is a world generation mod that adds nearly 100 new biomes to Minecraft, blending realism with light fantasy using only vanilla blocks. It also includes immersive structures to complement the overhauled terrain, providing a fresh exploration experience without requiring additional resource packs or mods.

Installing Terralith

On AwakeNode

  1. Download the version of Terralith for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
  2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the mods folder and upload the .jar file. You can also upload it over SFTP.
  3. Restart your server from the Console tab.

On other hosts / manually

  1. Download the correct version of Terralith from Modrinth for your loader and Minecraft version (1.18.2 through 1.20.5).
  2. Use the File Manager or an SFTP client to upload the file to your server's mods folder.
  3. If using the datapack version, place the file in the datapacks folder within your specific world save folder.
  4. Restart your server.

Common issues

  • World Generation Lag: Generating new terrain is CPU intensive. If you experience lag, pre-generate your world using a tool like Chunky.
  • Version Mismatch: Ensure the Terralith version matches your server's Minecraft version exactly (e.g., 1.20.4 vs 1.20.1).
  • Mod Conflicts: Terralith modifies world generation. It may conflict with other mods that significantly alter terrain or biomes.

Performance

Terralith is highly optimized as it uses vanilla blocks, but the complex terrain generation can increase CPU load during initial exploration. If your server struggles with TPS drops while players are loading new chunks, consider upgrading your plan for more processing power. AwakeNode automatically scales your RAM (Xmx) based on your plan, so no manual startup flag configuration is required. If you are on another host and require specific JVM tuning for world generation, please contact your support team, as startup flags are typically restricted.
