About the mod
This mod is my take on improving Minecrafts progression. So far, I have added copper tools and rose gold tools, which are both ACTUALLY required to progress in the game.
Additonally, this mod tweaks ore generation to make copper as rare as iron and have iron only appear below deepslate.
About its future
The next version will probably be for the latest Minecraft version and add more stuff.
Planned additions are:
- Enderite
- New biomes for the end
- Moving the pale garden to the end
- New Void dimension (below bedrock)
- New Aether dimension (inspired by the aether mod, but hopefully more vanilla-ish)
- New Abyss dimension (sculk)
- More tool tiers (enderite, obsidian, soul steel)
