About this project

What does Fry's Essentials add?

Fry's Essentials is a lightweight tweaks and minor additions mod (for Forge), focused on finding uses for things that aren’t that useful in vanilla and adding small gameplay tweaks that I (and others) would like to see in the game. Feel free to suggest any!

Some of the mod's additions and changed items

So far it adds the following things (with MANY more to come):

New uses for vanilla items:

  • Flinty gravel and flinty sand (A quick and aesthetically pleasing way to gather flint useful for early game arrows, flint and steel, and many other items for mods)
  • Flint block (Wow a lot of flint stuff... a compacted version of flint, like other ore blocks. Can be crafted with 9 flint, and can be crafted into 9 flint as well)
  • Flint tool set (A toolset that is sharper than stone [more damage and mines faster than stone], but is more primitive [lower durability, poor enchantability] to help utilize flint as an option for cheap tools)
  • Flint bricks: flint brick walls, stairs, and slabs, with all appropriate recipes and stonecutter recipe\
  • Cooked egg
  • Egg salad sandwich (when a cooked egg and bread have a baby, you get a cheap and very saturating food)

Recipe additions:

  • A recipe for a reduced number of arrows using wheat instead of feathers (For early game)
  • Chainmail armor recipes (Use chains in a normal amor configuration)
  • A recipe to craft cobwebs (5 string, can also craft cobwebs you find in chests into 1 string)

Added missing vanilla recipes (blasting and smelting):

  • Added ability to blast and smelt raw ore blocks (slightly faster than smelting 9 raw ores individually, slighly less total xp)
  • Added ability to blast clay balls and netherrack into their bricks
  • Added missing blast furnace recipes (Cobble -> stone, stone -> smooth stone, cobbled deepslate -> deepslate)
