Early Survival - v1.0.0 (Initial Release)

Welcome to Early Survival! This first release introduces a complete overhaul to the early game, requiring you to use your surroundings to survive your first few nights in the wild.

✨ New Features

Primitive Survival & Gathering

• Wood Punching Punishment: Trying to break logs with your bare hands will now deal progressive damage to you. You'll need tools!

• Plant Fibers: Breaking grass and tall grass now has a 30% chance to drop Plant Fibers, which are essential for binding your first tools.

🪓 Flint Tier Tools

• Added the Flint Axe, Flint Knife, and Flint Pickaxe.

• Crafted using Plant Fibers, Sticks, and regular Flint.

• They feature 25 uses and balanced mining speeds specifically tailored for the early game.

🍃 The Cutting Log

• New interactive block for manual processing.

• Place any log (Vanilla or from other mods) on the ground to turn it into a Cutting Log. The block will dynamically adopt the texture of the wood used.

• Use an axe on the Cutting Log to chop it into a Handful of Logs.

⛏️ Early Mineral Processing

• New crushing mechanic: Place Coal or Raw Iron on top of a Cutting Log and smash it with a pickaxe to obtain mineral dust.

• Coal Dust: Burns in the furnace for exactly half the time of a normal piece of coal (800 ticks).

• Iron Dust: Can be smelted directly in Furnaces or Blast Furnaces to create Iron Ingots.

• Steel System: Mix Coal Dust and Iron Dust in a crafting grid to create Steel Dust. Steel Dust can be smelted in fires, campfires, or furnaces to create a Steel Ingot. Dropping it in lava will destroy it!

🔥 Discovering Fire

• The default Vanilla Campfire crafting recipe has been locked.

• Flint Knapping: Hold Shift and strike a piece of Flint against any stone block 5 times to knap it and obtain a Flint Body.

• Craft a Steel Body using a Steel Ingot and Steel Dust.

• Combine both to create your Fire Starter.

• Manual Campfire: Stack 4 Handfuls of Logs on the ground, add Plant Fiber, and use the Fire Starter to spark your first flame.

• Advancement Added: Lighting your first manual campfire grants the "Discovering Fire" advancement and permanently unlocks the original Vanilla campfire recipe.

🛠️ Technical & Backend Tweaks

• Custom Renderer (BER): Built an advanced dynamic renderer for the Cutting Log, ensuring it doesn't require multiple JSON files and reacts perfectly to world lighting (EntityCutout & NoOcclusion).

• Data Synchronization: Implemented Network Packets to sync the campfire unlock state between the Server and the Client.

• Compatibility: Fully compatible with Forge's Tag system (forge:tools/axes, minecraft:mineable/axe).

• Localization: Texts, advancements, and items are 100% translated into English (en_us) and Brazilian Portuguese (pt_br).
