Territorial Mod

This page explains how to configure the Territorial mod for Minecraft 1.20.1.

Overview

Territorial controls where crops can grow and animals can breed based on biomes, coordinates, temperature, and dimensions. Configuration is done through TOML files in the config/ directory.

Configuration Files

File	Purpose
config/territorial-common.toml	Global feature toggles (auto-generated by Forge)
config/territorial-rules.toml	Event rules for plant growth and animal breeding

Global Options

Set in territorial-common.toml:

enablePlantGrowthControl = true    # Enable plant growth rules
enableAnimalBreedingControl = true # Enable animal breeding rules
enableBiomeControl = true          # Enable biome-based filtering
enableCoordinateControl = true     # Enable coordinate-based filtering
enableDynmapIntegration = true     # Show rules on Dynmap
debugLogging = false               # Enable debug output
giveAlmanacOnFirstJoin = false     # Give Farmer's Almanac to new players

Rule Configuration

Rules are defined in territorial-rules.toml under [plant_growth] or [animal_breeding] sections.

Rule Fields

Field	Type	Description
enabled	boolean	Whether this rule is active
allow	boolean	true = allow event, false = block event
biomes	list	Biome IDs (e.g., ["minecraft:plains"])
temperature_min	float	Minimum temperature (-0.5 to 2.0)
temperature_max	float	Maximum temperature (-0.5 to 2.0)
x_min, x_max	integer	X coordinate range
y_min, y_max	integer	Y coordinate range
z_min, z_max	integer	Z coordinate range
dimensions	list	Dimension whitelist (e.g., ["minecraft:overworld"])
dimensions_blacklist	list	Dimension blacklist
crop_types	list	Plant growth only: crop IDs to match
animal_types	list	Animal breeding only: entity IDs to match

Temperature Reference

Temperature	Climate	Biomes
-0.5 to 0.0	Cold	Snowy Plains, Frozen Peaks
0.0 to 0.5	Cool	Taiga, Old Growth Spruce
0.5 to 1.0	Temperate	Plains, Forest, River
1.0 to 1.5	Warm	Savanna, Jungle
1.5 to 2.0	Hot	Desert, Badlands

Examples

Block wheat in hot biomes

[[plant_growth.rules]]
    enabled = true
    crop_types = ["minecraft:wheat"]
    temperature_min = 1.5
    allow = false

No farming within 500 blocks of spawn

[[plant_growth.rules]]
    enabled = true
    x_min = -500
    x_max = 500
    z_min = -500
    z_max = 500
    allow = false

Allow cows to breed only in plains

[[animal_breeding.rules]]
    enabled = true
    animal_types = ["minecraft:cow"]
    biomes = ["minecraft:plains"]
    allow = true

[[animal_breeding.rules]]
    enabled = true
    animal_types = ["minecraft:cow"]
    allow = false

Nether-only mushroom growth

[[plant_growth.rules]]
    enabled = true
    crop_types = ["minecraft:red_mushroom", "minecraft:brown_mushroom"]
    dimensions = ["minecraft:the_nether"]
    allow = true

[[plant_growth.rules]]
    enabled = true
    crop_types = ["minecraft:red_mushroom", "minecraft:brown_mushroom"]
    allow = false

Rule Precedence

When multiple rules match, more specific rules take priority:

1. Coordinate-based rules (highest priority)
2. Temperature-based rules
3. Biome-based rules
4. Global rules (lowest priority)

If no rules match, events are allowed by default.

Commands

All commands require OP level 2.

Command	Description
/territorial reload	Reload configuration from disk
/territorial rules [type]	List rules (all, plant_growth, animal_breeding)

Farmer's Almanac

An in-game book that displays all active rules.

Crafting:

    Paper
Ink - Book - Ink
    Paper

Right-click to view current rules in a readable format.

Dynmap Integration

When Dynmap-Forge is installed, coordinate-based rules appear as colored regions on the map:

• Green/Red: Plant growth allowed/blocked
• Blue/Orange: Animal breeding allowed/blocked

Troubleshooting

1. Run /territorial rules all to verify rules loaded
2. Enable debug logging in config/territorial-common.toml: debugLogging = true
3. Reload with /territorial reload
4. Check logs/latest.log for errors
