About this project
What does EarlyStage add?
EarlyStage adds a flint tool set for the start of the beginning. It adds the requirement to use an axe for logs.
It also adds a sieve which can get customized item drops with a datapack.
Stones laying around in the forest for more immersive gaming.
How to get started: break leaves to get sticks, find gravel to get flint, gather rocks, craft a crafting rock, put sticks and flint on it and hit it a couple times with another rock!

Sieve
The sieve can be used to sieve blocks like dirt or sand. Try it out and see what is hidden in the dirt.


This mod is developed for Fabric.
There are no plans to develop a Forge version.
