Description

Overview

Early game is pretty much non-existent in Minecraft. Punch a tree, craft a few items, done! This mod creates a very early game (first few nights) progression and changes the mechanic for getting wood and planks.

NOTE: Originally designed as an immersion mod for Tinkers' Construct, this is all of the core mechanic features for Tinkers' Survival in a separate mod to allow for building on new versions of Minecraft quickly, and allow other mod or modpack integration.

Differences From Other [Insert Anti-Tree Punching Mod Here]

  • A proper harvest tool must be used. Which works correctly, and is configurable!
  • Can work with either a blacklist (default) or whitelist to enable/disable specific tools or armor from other mods. By default, allows all mods.
  • Doesn't try to do too much for early game, really guiding the user to proper tool usage.
  • Does not conflict with major mods
  • Modpack friendly

Major Features

  • The only way to make wood planks is with a saw.
  • Crude tools are necessary to progress to initial tools, as they are the only way to obtain wood!
