How to Enable Lifeless World

Tips on How to Beat the Game
How to get wood?Since items are entities, you won't be able to punch a tree to get logs.
Spruce logs can be found in chests in taiga villages and dark oak logs can be found in pillager outposts.
However, wood may not be required to beat the game!
Food can be found in a lot of places, from villages' chests, ruined portals, shipwrecks and any other chests really.
How to get obsidian?Obisidian can be found in chests in villages and ruined portals.
However obsidian may not be required to beat the game! You can find iron ingots and use a bucket to build a portal.
Blazes still spawns in the nether since it is the only way to get blaze rods. Also, blaze rods are the only items allowed to be dropped by any entities.
How to get enderpearls?Enderpearls can be found in chests in strongholds and trial chambers.
