The purpose of this mod is to slow down early and mid game progression. This mod disables tree punching to force players to use either a flint tool or a bone tool to obtain wood (similarly to many 'no tree punching' mods). The process of progressing to iron level tools has been made a bit more complicated since stone tools can no longer break iron ore and a copper pickaxe is now required to obtain it.
New Mechanics:
- Trees can no longer be punched and you must craft a tool first (the flint tool or the bone tool).
- Iron can no longer be mined with stone tools (requires copper tools).
- Gravel can be crafted into flint to obtain flint easier.
- Copper ore only drops one raw copper instead of multiple (to balance how quickly copper tools can be obtained).
- Sculk must be broken with a hoe.
- Chorus plants must be broken with a stone axe or better.
Added Items:
The Flint Tool:
- 3 efficiency.
- 5 enchantability.
- 1.2 attack speed.
- 4 damage.
- 96 durability.

(The mod adds a recipe that allows gravel to be crafted into flint so that obtaining flint is less annoying).

- 8 enchantability.
- 1.2 attack speed.
- 4 damage.
