Minecraft Slash Blade Crafting Recipes

The first step in exploring Tetra is to create your first Workbench. The Workbench allows you to customize and upgrade tools and weapons using various in-game materials, as well as create specific tool types unique to the mod.
To create a Workbench, you need to craft a Hammer at a regular crafting table using two sticks and two wooden planks (or stone) in a diagonal formation. (JEI is recommended to view crafting recipes)Once you acquire your first Hammer, hold it in your hand and right-click (RMB) on a regular crafting table to turn it into a Workbench. The crafting table will lose its crafting grid and give access to the Tetra menu for modular crafting. At any time, you can turn a Workbench back into a crafting table simply by breaking it.
Tetra's modular crafting allows players to upgrade and customize tools and weapons using Modules. Tetra's tools are made by modifying base vanilla tools (like axes, pickaxes, shovels, bows, and similar) in a workbench. Tools from other mods can be supported using compatibility mods and datapacks. Think of tetra tools as "skill trees" for individual items. Tetra tools don't break when their durability runs out! Instead, they simply stop working until their modules are repaired in the workbench.
To get started, right-click on the Workbench and place any vanilla tool or weapon into the slot. Each tool has a set of different Modules: required (diamond shaped, like an axe head or a handle) and optional (square shaped, like a binding on a pickaxe). Tools are divided into seven basic categories, which can be viewed in the main menu of the Holosphere (read more in the next section):
To craft modules, you will need tools of certain tiers (in your inventory, on a Rack, or in the form of a Forge Hammer). The basic and first tool you will likely use is a hammer of a certain tier. Other items, like handle wraps, may require a "cutting implement tier II," which can be acquired by modifying a sword to use a short blade module. You can learn which tools provide which capabilities by investigating the Holosphere's tool head screen. In its interface, you can inspect each individual tool and check material properties, including durability modifiers, efficiency modifiers, the tier it provides when used for a tool's major module, the tier of tool required to craft it, and more (see Materials). You can filter by various properties in the module's details screen of the Holosphere.

Terrafirmacraft+ is an re-imagination of what Minecraft can be, with a emphasis on making the game more believable. It is suited for experienced players of vanilla Minecraft, whom feel that an amount of complexity and detail has been lacking in the vanilla game, and want a level of realism that vanilla Minecraft does not provide.
This guide will help new players through the early game, with a focus on the differences between TFC+ and vanilla Minecraft. Players who already have experience with the original TerraFirmaCraft might want to look at Differences from TFC instead. If you have an issue or question, you can visit the Discord or Subreddit for support.
Note: The current version (0.89.1) has a bug where hostile monsters do not spawn on the surface. This issue will be fixed in the next version. Until then, if you wish to play with hostile monsters, play the previous version (0.88.4)
When you start a new world, you might notice that your HUD is quite different from what you are used to in vanilla Minecraft. This section will guide you through the various bars and menus of the Terrafirmacraft+ HUD.
The first bar that is quite different from vanilla Minecraft is the health bar. Instead of hearts, in TFC+, HP is shown as a red bar. You start with 1000 max HP, and this will vary depending on various factors, such as nutrition and XP level. HP will regenerate very slowly over time, as long as your hunger is above 25%. Even on a full stomach, you cannot heal very quickly. Healing can be accelerated by wading in hot spring water or by using sterile bandages, which restore 100 HP for each bandage used.
Players can also be wounded, which has a variety of effects. You can only get wounded if you take 20% or more of your health in one hit. Having an untreated fractured bone slows the player's movement, while having a wound or a cut gradually damages the player for as long as the effect lasts. Specific wounds are inflicted by specific damage types. Fractures are only caused by crushing damage or falling damage, while wounds are caused by piercing damage and cuts are caused by slashing damage. The effects of wounds can be managed through medicine.
Unlike vanilla Minecraft, which uses arbitrary "filling values", the hunger system in TerraFirmaCraft+ is based off of food weight. TerraFirmaCraft+ uses the imperial measurement of ounces. However, this measurement does not relate to any other measurement in the game, so if the concept of ounces confuses you, you are welcome to instead think of them as generic "food units" or "bites." Each stack of food in TerraFirmaCraft+ can weigh up to 160 ounces.
Players will slowly get hungrier over the course of a few days, even if they do not move. When a player is very hungry, they will begin to suffer negative effects, such as Mining Fatigue and Weakness, until they have eaten again. Once a player's hunger bar is depleted, they will begin suffering from starvation, and very quickly die. Please note that the hunger bar is not linear, but rather logarithmic. As such, the last portion of the bar lasts significantly longer than the first. If you are running low on food, consider not constantly eating.
Terrafirmacraft+ introduces the idea of Thirst. Players will slowly get more thirsty, eventually suffering from effects like Slowness and Weakness, and will suffer heat strokes if they are completely dehydrated. Thirst is represented with a blue bar. Like Hunger, Thirst will go down slowly, even if players are not moving. Players can only drink fresh water from pools scattered throughout the world, distinguished from the coastal seawater by cattails and lily pads. Thus, finding fresh, drinkable, water is very important for survival. The world generation always attempts to spawn the player near fresh water, even if it is a single block.
To drink water, players must Right Click on the block under Fresh Water. You can hold Right Click to continue drinking until you are no longer thirsty. If you are experiencing issues with drinking, relog into the world.
The experience system represents life experience, and so each level increases a player's maximum health, thirst, hunger, and alcohol tolerance, allowing them to take more hits, survive longer without drinking fresh water or eating, and drink more alcohol before getting negative side effects.
Body Temperature is shown by a thermometer on the bottom right side of the screen. The green area of the thermometer shows the player's comfort range. The player's body temperature is affected by the season, body exertion from sprinting, their local climate, and certain blocks. If the player is too hot, or too cold, they will suffer negative effects such as Slowness and Mining Fatigue. They will also not be able to sleep in Straw & Hide Beds. Being too hot, or too cold, will also cause the player to lose hunger and thirst faster, as their bodies will "sweat" to keep cool, or burn calories to warm themselves up.
Body Temperature is primarily managed through the use of Clothing. Roofs also provide moderate temperature protection, and standing in shade out of the sun (or wearing a hat underneath it), or being in a cave, will also protect the player from the elements. Drinking water will temporarily give players heat resistance, while standing near lit campfires will provide cold resistance.
The Inventory in Terrafirmacraft+ contains four tabs: the Inventory tab, which is like the vanilla Inventory, allowing you to interact with your items and craft, the Skills tab, displaying a player's proficiency in various skills, the Time tab, displaying the time of year, season, and day of week, and the Nutrition tab, which displays the five categories of food a player must eat in other to maintain their maximum health.
Unlike Vanilla, all crafting is done directly in the inventory tab. Players start out with a 2x2 Inventory Table, which can later be expanded with a crafting table to unlock the 3x3 grid. Unlike Vanilla, the Crafting Table is not an actual block, but is immediately used up to unlock the 3x3 grid.
The goal for the first day is to prepare for the night and for the player's long-term survival. It is important to look around you, and to see what resources are available to you. If you see yourself in a plain, with grass, shrubs, and boulders stretching to the horizon, you might be able to find metal nuggets and animals to hunt quite easily. If you see yourself on a coast of an ocean, seaweed and fresh water is easy to find. If you find yourself in the deep rain forest, clay, fresh water, and wood are plentiful.
You might notice that you can't punch trees to get wood. This is because the tech-tree in Terrafirmacraft+ is completely different from that of vanilla Minecraft. This means that your first tools will be made from stone. There is no such thing as wooden tools in Terrafirmacraft+, and wasting your time to punch down a tree will yield you absolutely nothing. You cannot make planks in the same way as vanilla, and thus a crafting table in Terrafirmacraft+ - you will need a saw, which can only be made from metals.
There is no such thing as a Wooden or Stone pickaxe in Terrafirmacraft. In the early game, you do not mine stone for ore. Instead, there are other ways to acquire metal ore and tools, without needing a pickaxe. This will be how you will make a pickaxe to mine more ore.
