Smooth Survival: Early Game Overhaul

by Canfee75 · on Modrinth

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.11–26.1.2 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.11–26.1.2 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.11–26.1.2 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.11–26.1.2 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.11–26.1.2 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Enhanced Recipes

This datapack expands your crafting options with highly requested recipes, including the Enchanted Golden Apple (Notch Apple) and Horse Armor. It also adds quality-of-life features like compacting 9 cobblestone into a single stone block—perfect for inventory management during long mining sessions. Bulk Torches: Need to light up a cave? Combine 1 Coal Block and 1 Plank to get 36 Torches instantly.

New Foods

No Need to carry a crafing table thanks to the new croissants that can be crafted in the 2x2 crafting grid. Another fan favourite is the meat pie which is crafted using 6 wheat and 3 of any meats like pork, chicken, steak and mutton.

Note: All recipes are automatically unlocked upon world load, so you can start crafting immediately without the guesswork.

Quick facts

Install steps are the general flow for this file type — see the MC Java Mods guides for the full walkthrough.
