The Iron Age mod reworks the way that iron progression occurs during gameplay, making the jump from wood (swapped out for flint tools) to copper and iron tools more time consuming. The mod also removes enchantments and I'm still in the process of coming up with another purpose for xp points.
A lot of vanilla recipes for tools have been changed to be more expensive. Netherite and diamonds have been removed from the game.
The mod should be combined with the create mod :)
Better Combat support!
