Formerly called Real Stone Tools
Overview:
This is a mod that re-balances a few aspects of survival, including:
- Farmland can deplete and turn to Red Sand
- Blaze Powder acts like bonemeal for nether warts
- Horse Armor is craftable
- Stone Tools are made using Stone, not Cobblestone
- Silverfish Eggs generate in small pockets throughout the world
- Silverfish Eggs mine at the same speed as Stone
- Rockslides occasionally happen in caves (WIP) (Disabled by default)
- Players occasionally trigger sand/gravel/etc falling
- Slimes absorb Magma to become Magma Cubes (WIP)
- Magma Cubes absorb Magma to grow larger (WIP)
All of the above features can be individually disabled.
This mod is focused around making vanilla-style changes, and if it ends up adding items, they will be vanilla-style items. In this aspect, it is much like Quark. Note that I am not trying to compete with Quark, so don't make feature requests for Quark features.
Future plans:
- Shulker boxes' lids can be opened by redstone signal
- Work with more other mods to change their stone tool recipes
- Cacti don't destroy the Cactus item
- Lava/Fire don't destroy the Obsidian item
- Dirt falls like Sand or Gravel
- Stone must be double-mined(Break stone, cobblestone appears)
- Stone gets harder to mine the lower you get

I see that the rockslide feature is a WIP. Is it at least functional? And is there any way to add "support beams" to add stability?
Could you add an option to set the probability that rocks will fall around the player? pls
This is a wonderful mod, im really enjoying the features you have here. :D
-Some Small Ideas:
-If the Doublemined stone feature is enabled, Diamond and Gold pickaxes gain the ability that they ignore this feature and mine like vanilla.
-Nether wart grows slightly faster with lava hydrating it.
-Drowneds sometimes spawn riding a turtle!
-15% of the animal mobs that spawn would be babies.
-Cats avoid water.
-Animals that are killed by predatory mobs dont drop meat (Example: If a wolf kills a sheep or rabbit, it shouldnt drop meat, just hide or wool.)
-Cave Spiders would uncommonly spawn naturally in caves. They would only spawn at Y = 30 and lower.
-Also in caves, Zombies and Skeletons can sometimes spawn with stone, iron, and gold pickaxes and gold helmets. They would drop their normal drops, plus rarely, they would drop their helmet, pickaxe, or rarest of all, a compass.
-Phantoms sometimes spawn with skeletons riding them. These skeletons would shoot arrows that would blind you for 5 seconds. (However, they would still drop regular arrows on death.)
-Phantoms would increase in size and strength the longer you dont sleep until their size and strength caps out. Their size would cap at around size 5 and their damage would cap at around 8 hearts per hit without you wearing armor.
-Phantoms give a "nightmare" debuff when they hit you. This prevents sleeping for 3 minutes. It is not clearable with milk.
"Stone must be double-mined(Break stone, cobblestone appears)"
Liking the sound of that!
I like the ideas, but rockslides mess up a bit. When stone drops I get glitches on screen, and they do not fall into 'place'. Blocks overlap and in order to remove them I need to place other blocks besides them so they get updated and 'click' into place. If that makes sense?

How do I individually disable some of the features on this mod? I was wondering because I didn't want my crop soil to turn into red sand, because trying to replace said sand got a bit tedious..
Menu->Mod Options->Fire's Survival Tweaks
Press the config button
The options are there.
Thanks for letting me know. Sorry for the late response, I didn't have internet for the past couple of days..
Hi Fireplace, i have some feature requests:
- dirt blocks are affected by gravity
- when mining stone it turns into cobble and you have to mine it again.
- stone gets harder to mine, the deeper you go...
some of these features are from other mods, but not updated yet.
thanks,
shootHug

This makes you work a little more to get away from the wood tier. Rather than spawning, making a wood pickaxe, then immediately mining 3 cobblestone and making a stone pickaxe, you have to mine enough cobblestone to make a furnace, then obtain fuel, then smelt the cobble in to stone, then make tools.
If you don't like it, don't use it.
Hi, The_Fireplace, can I forward this to Chinese forum "mcbbs"? I wish more prople know this interesting mod.

I kinda like this one. Makes you work towards those stone tool a bit, instead of getting them within seconds.
