About Survivalist Essentials

From Modrinth

An early game survival concept for immersion into various mods. Enforces correct tool to be used for breaking blocks, so no tree punching!

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!
