Forged Progression completely reworks Minecraft’s survival progression by removing direct crafting of higher-tier tools and armor.
Instead, you must upgrade your existing equipment step by step.
🔧 Features
- Start with wooden tools
- Progress by upgrading tools instead of crafting new ones
Tool progression:
Wood → Stone → Iron → Diamond
Armor progression:
Leather → Chainmail → Iron → Diamond
(netherite crafting remains vanilla)
