If you combine Coal and Steel in the Foundry, you will get Carbon Steel. It is slightly below diamond, but you can still mine obsidian with it.
Grab some iron, glowstone, and glass to obtain this helmet. You don't need Night Vision potions anymore, you can just put this on your head and gain the effect as long as it is equipped!
The Foundry is very easy to use, just put your stuff in and let it go!
If you combine molten carbon and string in a crafting table, you will get carbon fiber. This set of tools and armor is slightly better than diamond. The attack speed is very good on this set.
If you manage to kill the dangerous Wild Boar, you will get this A-tier source of food.
This little harmless animal will wander around in forests and plains. They are annoying though so you'll probably want to kill them as soon as possible.
As well as a Turkey Breast, you might get this little treat.
The Coke Furnace runs on Coke, smelted Coal, and it smelts a little faster than a normal Furnace. Just add Bricks in a Crafting Table, and that's it!
Combine Coal and Iron in a Foundry, and you will get Steel. It is between iron and diamond. It's a solid upgrade before you find diamonds.
If you find a Turkey and kill it, you will get this B-tier food item.
Find this ore in the lower half of the world, and make yourself some armor to save your iron for other things.
If you make the Foundry, and smelt Coal to get Coke, you can melt and combine metals to make better ones.
This animal spawns in forests and plains, and will attack you on sight. Can you survive with nothing while a herd of 5 boars are after you?
If you add Obsidian to any set of armor, vanilla or modded, it will be more durable. If you want your armor to last longer, this is the ticket.
Fire tools can be made from Blaze Powder. They are as good as diamond. They break blocks fast, but don't have good durability. The sword and axe set the target on fire.
The Coke Furnace looks just like your basic furnace.
Combine molten iron and string in a crafting table, and you'll get Kevlar. This armor is better than diamonds, and you even get a six pack!
Grow this crop as a source of food, or you can even give it to a farmer villager to get emeralds!
Find Lead underground and get a solid set of armor that is as good as iron.
If you add more material to any set of armor, vanilla or modded, it will protect you more. It is expensive but worth it.

For more details, go to the images section, where all of these topics are explained in depth.
The list above is for the latest version of the mod. It is not final, as I will be taking suggestions on here, the GitHub repository, the Discord server, the subreddit, Instagram, and YouTube.
My mod's code is also open source, so it's on the GitHub as well.
One other important feature to note is JEI compatibility. You can find crafting recipes, smelting recipes, and foundry recipes using Just Enough Items. Other mod compatibility:
-Just Enough Resources
If you would like to know if any more mods are compatible, just ask.
If you want to see the backstory and main focus of the mod, it's in the spoiler.
When working on this mod, I focused on 3 things that vanilla Minecraft does very well. I kept everything as simplistic as I could, it's easy to memorize and not complicated. I made sure everything was balanced, so you are rewarded with the time you invest, but nothing is overpowered. Everything that exists in real life is kept realistic without making it complicated. I do address one thing in this mod that I feel like is a weak spot in vanilla, and that's variety. There's a lot of room to add stuff, and that's exactly what I'm doing. I want this mod to be packed with content, and it will give the game a lot more variety. But it doesn't feel modded. It feels as if it were in the game the whole time. This mod is also run on community suggestions, so if you have any ideas, leave a comment. Every single idea is considered, whether it be in the next update or somewhere down the line. I've been playing Minecraft for years, since 2012. I grew up with this game. Just know that the people behind this mod are seasoned Minecraft players who know a lot about it.
