⚙️ Genesis: Core
The High-Performance Engine & Unified Settings Hub for the Genesis Suite
⚠️ Library Notice
Genesis: Core is the foundational engine and library for the Genesis mod ecosystem. It runs quietly in the background to power atmospheric and terrain modules like Genesis: Horizon and Genesis: Atlas. Install it alongside any Genesis module to unlock its features.
The central thermodynamic backbone and performance engine of Genesis.
Genesis: Core provides the foundational climate, calendar, and performance architecture for the entire Genesis family. Built with an uncompromising
20 TPS guarantee, it replaces Minecraft's dated, static environmental rules with a living, thermodynamic world—all while ensuring your game runs as smooth as silk.

🎛️ One Unified Settings Hub (Press G)
No more hopping through multiple confusing configuration screens or manually editing text files. Every Genesis mod links directly into a unified in-game menu:
- Everything in One Spot: Manage graphics, performance profiles, weather intensity, and calendar settings from a single, clean interface.
- Modern Controls: Tactile toggle switches, intuitive sliders with real units (%, blocks, minutes), and instant default reset buttons.
- Live Application: Changes take effect immediately the second you apply them—no game restarts required.
- Instant Access: Open the hub at any time by pressing the G key, clicking the G icon on your title/pause screen, or typing
/genesis config.
🌡️ Living °C Temperature & Thermodynamic Physics
Minecraft biomes normally rely on static, artificial temperature tags. Genesis replaces this with a continuous, living thermodynamic simulation:
- True Celsius Physics: Temperature shifts dynamically based on your altitude, the time of day, active seasons, and approaching storm fronts.
- Physical Freezing Point: Water freezes strictly at 0 °C—even a desert oasis can skim over with ice during a clear, freezing desert night.
- Realistic Snowmelt: Snow layers and icicles melt naturally according to ambient warmth, rather than arbitrary biome boundaries.
🪵 Campfire Warmth, Drafts & Smart Shelters
Transform your base into a genuine sanctuary against the harsh elements:
- Radiant Heat Sources: Campfires, furnaces, lava, and torches cast real physical warmth into enclosed rooms.
- Realistic Room Drafts: Enclosed rooms stay insulated from external cold. Leaving a door or window open during a gale allows cold air drafts to sweep inside.
- Intelligent Shelter Detection: The engine distinguishes between vertical rain and sideways-driven blizzards. Roofs keep out rain, while solid walls shield you from howling winds.
⏱️ Cinematic Benchmark & Hardware Auto-Tuning
Wondering how well your PC handles modern visuals? Genesis includes a professional, built-in benchmarking suite:
- 30-Second Fly-Through Spline: Experience an automated cinematic camera flight gliding through dense forests, swooping through deep caverns, and climbing into stormy skies.
- Interactive Frametime Graph: Pinpoint any micro-stutters or frame pacing issues with a clean visual timeline.
- ⭐ Recommended Profile: The benchmark analyzes your hardware capabilities and automatically recommends the best graphic preset (Cinematic, Balanced, or Performance) for your PC.
- Shareable Scorecard: Automatically exports a stylish 1080p scorecard PNG image to share your hardware rating with friends.
