Warning: This mod is no longer being developed.

My plans were to create a second layer to the base game in which would cause every item to be gained by double to work or crafting.
However, plans have changed and I'll be working on getting other content out, this mod idea was good, but with the mods around, most likely would not bring much to you all.

If you come across this and you think it's actually worth the run, let me know and I'll take a look into updating this for 1.12.2 or even up to 1.16. Thank you!

Harder items is at the moment very small but to those who want to create more difficulty or challenges to the game, this will help you.

The idea of this mod , which you will notice. Is that the items are very similar to others already implemented. The huge difference is that it takes more resources to make said item. As right now this is a very small implementation/mod. It consists of one item at the moment. This said item is called a Nova Star. This star is used to create a nether_star.
"But the wither boss drops the nether star! I don't get it."
Yes it does for now. But in the next update of this project withers will only drop NovaStars in which you are forced to use to make the nether star.
As for getting the wither boss to do such thing has been buggy. The next update that will be sent will have such feature implemented.
There is not much else to give out here besides the fact that i will be adding many more items to this mod. With in the said future it is also very possible that there will be other mods that will be required. But until then i have designed this to use basic Minecraft resources.

Please be constructive with in the comments below. As i am open to suggestions on special items and features that you may be highly interested in seeing.

As far as license goes. Everybody use this mod at your will. It was intended for adding difficulty and customization.
