FAQ:

1. "Is this compatible with mod xyz?"
   Probably! (to some degree) - TerraForged is designed to work with many of the same world-gen systems
   that the majority of block & biome providing mods use. Certain biomes' terrain may not always look
   exactly as their author designed but should otherwise be compatible. Feel free to report any other
   compatibility issues on the issue tracker.

2. "How can I use this on my server?"
   When Forge supports it, you can simply set level-type=terraforged in your server.properties file. In
   the meantime, you will need to create the world in single player and then copy that to your server
   directory. (In both cases, TerraForged must be installed on the client and the server).

3. "Will I need a super-computer to run this?!"
   _No, not really - while this world generator will be a bit slower than vanilla's (on account of it
   doing more work to make things look nice), it would only be apparent when first generating a chunk

• they might load in slower when moving to new parts of the world, but game performance should
  otherwise be normal. A 4-core CPU should be able to handle this just fine._

4. "Can this be ported Fabric/Bukkit/Spigot/Sponge?"
   If someone would like to take this task on, yes - a large part of the TerraForged codebase is already
   platform independent. There are certain client-side features in the forge-mod that would not translate
   onto server-only APIs, but the core experience could certainly be ported. I don't intend to work on
   this directly but others are very welcome.

5. "Will this be back-ported to older Forge versions?"
   Not by myself, no - My aim is to keep current with Forge. I'm simply not prolific enough a modder to
   write and maintain for multiple versions (hats off to those who do!). Again though, others are welcome
   to back-port it, if inclined to do so.
