This is not the current info, this is older info from previous server, left for future reference.
The HappyDiggers TFC server attempts to stay as close as possible to the TFC experience. Players joining only need to have the latest TFC installed. The server has no whitelist and is open to anyone as long as they are friendly to other players and the staff. Please read through the information below and follow the rules.
Rules
Spoiler!The server has a few basic rules which all boil down to: be nice.
While on the server, type /rules to read the latest server rules.
- Respect the staff and other players.
- No bad language.
- Please don't ask the staff for blocks, items, teleport, promotions, etc.
- Please don't grief or steal from other players.
- Don't turn your town spawn into a death trap. A small room with a door will keep unwanted visitors out.
To try to keep things running smoothly we are going to enforce some restrictions. These restrictions are on a per town basis. Meaning each town may have:
- 4 mature animals of each kind. This means: 4 cows, 4 pigs, 4 horses, etc. All mature, not counting young animals.
- 3 plots of tilled soil farmland or berry bushes. This means 768 blocks. They may be in more than three plots, but 768 max.
- 9 fruit trees. (All kinds allowed: red apple, green apple, banana, peach, etc.)
- 1 of each kind of anvil. (copper, bronze, wrought iron, steel, etc.
Features
Spoiler!
- Huge 80.000 x 80.000 pre-generated world.
- Large 42.000 x 42.0000 pre-generated world dedicated to the hardcore group on a separate server instance.
- Lobby server with a lot of mini-games like: Spleef, MOB arena, PVP arena, Paintball arena and parcour.
- Protect your builds using Towny. Use the /t command. Towns get 32 plots per resident to use to protect their towns. More people in a town means more plots!
- Each town starts with 32 plots and gains another 32 plots per resident making huge builds possible.
- Absolutely no pay-to-win. Donors get an honorary title, but not game-changing or cheaty perks (aka "free" stuff).
- All block and inventory interactions are logged. Griefing and stealing has become pointless because anyone can see who did it using /prism i (use /prism i off to turn off the inspector)
- Players can set personal warp points with /sethome name and then use them with /home name
- Towns may create up to 10 outposts to help protect off-site farms, freezers or mining areas in the world.
- Need help and no staff around? Use /ticket-open YourQuestionHere
- Explore the map on Dynmap and plan your journey. You can chat on Dynmap if you register an account while you are on the server using /dynmap webregister
- Moderators have all the tools they need to solve any crime on the server. They can become invisible and investigate reported players, they can see who killed your animals, they can inspect player's inventories, they can kick and ban players and much more.
- The server can load and unload (new) plugins without the need for a server restart.
- Corrupted chunks can now easily be regenerated.
- Scheduled daily server restart after the backup is done. It's scheduled between 8AM and 11AM CET.
- Town mayors may claim a vanity plot right outside of spawn to advertise their town with. Ask staff if you wish to claim one.
- Much, much more.

Some useful commands and info
Read the signs at spawn, they are there for a reason.
Spoiler!
Server travel
- /server (gives a list of available servers
- /server tfc (go to the Regular TFC server)
- /server tfchc (go to the Hardcore TFC server)
- /server lobby (go to the Lobby server)
Chat
You can use these channels to chat in:
- general
- nation
- town
- local
You can join those channels with the following commands respectively:
- /g
- /nc
- /tc
- /l
While you are in one of these channels, you won't pick up chat from other channels so keep that in mind. Being in the town channel for example should only give you chat from fellow town members. That should greatly reduce the "noise" in chat.
Towny
/towny (Looku towny commands)
/town new TownName (create your very own town!)
/town add PlayerName (invite someone to join your town)
/plot forsale (Mayor can set plots for sale which town members can then claim as their own. Remember: we don't use currency so don't set a price.)
/plot notforsale (Cancel a plot being for sale)
/plot claim (Residents can claim a plot that has been put up for sale by the mayor.)
A full list of commands can be found here: https://code.google.com/a/eclipselab.../wiki/Commands
Lockette
People who are not part of a town, can't switch inside that town. This means they can't open things like doors, chests, tool racks, barrels, etc. To further protect such items from fellow town members or outside of a town, you can use Lockette. Simply place a sign on anything you wish to make your own private property and type [private] on the first line.
Tickets
If you need help and there aren't any mods or admins on the server, you can open a ticket.
/ticket-open YourQuestionHere (this opens a new ticket with your question)
/ticket-list (View your tickets)
/ticket-check # (Check your ticket with number #)
/ticket (this prints the help, don't type "/ticket help" as that would create a ticket with "help" as it contents. We know that's stupid.)
Block and inventory logging
If you suspect someone griefed you or stole something, you can check to see what happened with Prism. You can turn on the inspection wand with:
/prism i
Now you can left click blocks, chests, tool racks, etc. and see who placed/destroyed/opened/picked them up.
If you right click a block with air above it, you'll see the history of the air block. Maybe it was broken, burned, etc.
To turn off the inspector use:
/prism i off
We can also do more complicated look-ups of events like killed animals, picked up items, etc. This requires a bit more knowledge of prism so if you need help with that ask a staff member or look up how to do it in the Prism documentation.
Personal warp points / home
You can set "home" using /sethome. You can set more then 1 home using:
/sethome name
You can teleport to your homes using
/home name
Dynmap chat
You can chat on Dynmap if you register an account while you are on the TFC server. Use
/dynmap webregister
You should get a code. On the Dynmap web page, if you click the button under chat labeled: "Chat Requires Login" you can use the code you got in game to register an account.
Hard Core Group
Spoiler!
Hard Core TFC will be considered a special group in the HappyDiggers TerraFirmaCraft server. In order to join you must apply using the appropriate application guidelines. This is so anybody joining the HC TFC group understands exactly what they're getting themselves into.
This group will be considered in all cases a Vanilla of TerraFirmaCraft. There will be no home teleports, town teleports, or special game play server commands.
A large continent of land has been set aside far away from spawn that will specifically cater to members of the hardcore group. This land will be protected by worldguard and will only allow HC group members access to mine/build/etc on it. Normal members will not be able to enter the area. The whole point of the special area is to allow HC members a large area with varying temperatures, biomes, mineral distribution, etc to establish a livable community. HC members will not be able to leave the area after they enter it. This will prevent normal member and HC member interaction other than using public chat. This will promote a specialized community of similarly focused players, so keep this in mind.
In order to reach the HC area, HC members must travel to WallBridge Outpost and board the HMS HardCore. Upon teleporting, your inventory will be removed and when you initiate your HC quest you will be given a bed and a boat.
Towny, lockette, and basic protections are still in effect in the HC area, but you won't be able to utilize town teleportation.
There will be no "membership hopping". If you are accepted as a Hard Core member and change your mind later you will not be allowed to re-apply for HC membership. If you've played as a normal member for a while you may not bring items you obtained in the open world to the HC area to prevent any sort of advantage. The same goes for HC members that decide to revert to normal members, they will have to leave their items in the HC area.
Due to graphite generation schist bug in the previous Build 79 versions I have added a Graphite vendor in the center area of the continent. The vendor will accept 1 kaolinite and give the player 1 graphite.

Mod-whitelist
Spoiler!The HappyDiggers TFC server now uses a mod-whitelist. This means that players may only have certain mods installed when they join our server. To be absolutely clear. You only need TerraFirmaCraft installed to be able to join, nothing else.
We have taken this measure in an attempt to prevent server instability and mass disconnects that happen from time to time.
The following list are OPTIONAL mods. They are all client-side mods that enhance visuals or provide extra information like mini-maps, tool tips and damage indicators.
- MobiusCore
- Waila
- Opis (Use this instead of MapWriter, it's the same)
- ReiMinimap
- journeymap
- voxelmap
- NotEnoughItems
- TerraFirmaCraftNEIplugin
- CodeChickenCore
- DamageIndicatorsMod
- bspkrsCore
- wawla
- DynamicLights_dropItems
- DynamicLights_entityClasses
- DynamicLights_onFire
- DynamicLights_otherPlayers
- DynamicLights_mobEquipment
- DynamicLights_floodLights
- DynamicLights
- DynamicLights_flameArrows
- DynamicLights_creepers
- DynamicLights_thePlayer
- OpenEye
- Schematica and LunatriusCore
- BetterFoliage
- FastCraft
We have chosen not to include Fastcraft. This mod is obsolete since the chunk generating problem was fixed in the current Forge version and it doesn't run on Cauldron. In regard to chunk loading (not generating) you are better off using Optifine. It is known to not only increase performance significantly, it also prevents certain crashes due to bugs in TFC in regard to fruit trees in b78 and b79.
If you would like us to add any other mods to this list, please use the following form:
Mod name:
Mod website/forum post: (url)
Why do you want us to allow this mod?:
After months of hard work by dozens of volunteers we are now ready to launch the new and improved HappyDiggers TFC b79 server.
The server IP is:
tfc.happydiggers.net:4000
So as always, please enjoy your stay and use in-game tickets or the forum if you need help
The server is now open.
