BETTER PROGRESSION

This mod is intended to slightly draw out Minecraft's early game by making some simple processes slightly harder. Feel free to use this in modpacks and YouTube videos!

Spoiler

HOW THE MOD WORKS:

---

Goal #1: Obtain a crafting table

Mine many logs, which drop sticks unless broken with an axe.

Craft four sticks into a bundle of sticks.

Craft four bundles of sticks into bundled planks.

Craft four bundled planks into a crafting table.

---

Goal #2: Obtain wooden and stone tools

Wooden tools are now crafted with bundles of sticks instead of planks.

Stone and cobblestone, when mined with a wooden pickaxe, drop 1-2 rocks.

Craft nine rocks into cobblestone.

Stone tools can be crafted with stone only, meaning cobblestone has to be smelted.

Craft eight cobblestone into a furnace.

Obtain more cobblestone and smelt it.

The resulting stone can be used to make stone tools!

Stone and cobblestone, when mined with a stone pickaxe, drop 3-4 rocks.

---

Goal #3: Obtain iron tools

Iron ore drops 1-2 lumps of iron.

Four lumps of iron can be crafted into raw iron.

When raw iron is smelted in a furnace, the iron output is normal.

When raw iron is smelted in a blast furnace, the iron output is doubled.

This process also applies to gold.

Stone and cobblestone, when mined with an iron pickaxe or better, drop themselves.
