The goal of Better Beginnings Mod 1.10.2, 1.7.10 is to extend the beginning portion of Minecraft’s early game, increase the difficulty, all while staying true to the original feel of vanilla.

The early stage of Minecraft tends to be quick and easy. Punch three logs, make a crafting table, make a wood pick, mine three stone, and that’s it. No more early game. With Better Beginnings, you will spend a much longer time “on the move”, simply trying to survive the terrifying world you live in. Punching trees? Wood tools? Haha…no. While this mod is primarily designed with early game in mind, it also adds features that continue this experience throughout the survival gameplay. This mod is designed to stay close to the gameplay of vanilla Minecraft.
