TFC Scout

TerraFirmaScout 1.0.0 — Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge)

The first stable release of TerraFirmaScout, following a full audit of the mod.

Requires: Forge 47.4+, TerraFirmaCraft 3.2.25, and Java 17.

Tested with plain TFC and the full TerraFirmaGreg Modern 0.13.10 pack.

Fixed

• One bad seed no longer stops the entire search

  If TFC or another mod throws an error while checking a single seed, Scout now skips that seed and logs the error instead of ending the search.

  A search only stops after 25 skipped scans or 5 failed checks in a row.

• Saved seeds now work properly between game sessions

  Saved seeds now use a key that stays the same every time the game starts, so their file, notes and delete option stay linked correctly.

  Seeds saved by older versions are still detected, and duplicate entries are hidden.

• Faster repeat searches in large modpacks

  Starting another search or checking a seed no longer requires Scout to re-read every installed mod jar.

• Clearer search result wording

  If there is no confirmed seed yet, Scout now shows "So far: 100%" instead of "Match: 100%".

  A seed can pass every weighted check while still having a required check waiting to be confirmed.

• Better handling of blank number fields

  Leaving the Min. match or Range box empty now shows "Type a whole number" instead of exposing a Java error.

• Improved server list compatibility

  Scout is now marked as client-only, so a client with TerraFirmaScout installed is no longer shown as incompatible with servers that do not have it.

• Added the mod's issue tracker, author and home page to its metadata.

Included from earlier versions

• Faster and more responsive checks in large modpacks, with Pause taking effect in under a second in TerraFirmaGreg.

• Crops

• River

• Lake

• Coast or ocean

• Animals that can spawn

• Tree density at spawn

There is no Farmland moisture check on the 1.20.1 build.

Saved seeds, results and wishlists created with older versions continue to load normally.

Known limits

• Searches are still slower in TerraFirmaGreg than in plain TFC.

• GregTech may print extra "Tried to set output item stack that doesn't exist" lines in the game log while Scout checks seeds. These come from the pack's own data and are not crashes.

• Dedicated servers, other TerraFirmaGreg versions, other worldgen-changing packs and slow computers are currently untested.
