I don't know my version or loader
Revamped Progression is a mod/datapack that rebalances the early-game of Minecraft, while adding many QOL progression-focused recipes.
Want to expand 1.20's new smithing template / armor trim system with Revamped Progression? Check out Reimagined Trims here - it's a standalone counterpart to Revamped Progression that overhauls smithing trim and upgrade template recipes.
Revamped Progression does not require modded Minecraft to function and can run on vanilla clients - it is only required to be installed as a mod (Fabric/Forge) or datapack (Vanilla) server-side.
Revamped Progression Features:
smelt rotten flesh into leather
stone tools require stone / deepslate to craft, not the cobbled versions
ores become nuggets in regular furnace
upgrade leather armour to chainmail (pre 1.20)
smithing tables can be crafted using copper ingots (1.16 requires iron nuggets), allowing early-game smithing upgrades (pre 1.20)
blast furnace recipe requires iron ingots with blocks of copper in place of smooth stone (1.17+)
ores become ingots in blast furnace
raw ore blocks become ingots in regular furnace (1.17+)
raw ore blocks become ore blocks in blast furnace (1.17+)
upgrade gold armour to iron in a smithing table using iron ingots, so all that gold and golden loot doesn't go to waste (pre 1.20)
cheaper chain recipe
chainmail armour recipe
new, thoughtfully balanced trident recipe
vanilla bundle recipe enabled, granting you access to the unreleased item
end stone can craft stone tools and furnaces
Host your own Server
If you're interested in playing Minecraft (with or without my mods) with your friends, I recommend you take a look at Kinetic Hosting!. For 5GB ram, they charge under $13USD a month for Performance, and under $6 for Budget, not including my discount code! I personally use their performance servers, and their specs, price, support and easy-to-use panel are the best of all the hosts I've been with. In addition, you can use code LEGACY for 15% off your first month!
More InfoYes, I am partnered with them (and a member of their feedback team), but as an already-existing customer of them (and have paid and still pay for their servers myself), I can legitimately say they're great, regardless of whether I'm partnered with them. They're just genuinely good, I know the support team, they're super friendly and quick. The server specs are as good as you can get, and importantly, they aren't overpriced, unlike other hosts - in fact, they're less than half the price of quite a few big competitors I've seen around here, with no downside! If you need a server, these guys truly know what you're doing, and will respect your wallet when they do it. If you buy a server through my link, you even help support my work!
