About this project
What does Survivalist Essentials add?
Survivalist Essentials
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' Survivalin 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!
