Restricts pickaxes from mining the next tier of ores.
The intent is to make the early game more challenging and add a sense of progression as you advance through the ages and gain access to new materials. The most reliable way to progress to the next "age" (wooden->stone->iron->diamond) is to find a Creeper and have it blow up the blocks you want.
Note: the mod has to be installed on both the client and server with matching configurations.
Features
- Pickaxe tiers have extra mining restrictions
- Wooden can't mine stone
- Stone can't mine iron
- Iron can't mine diamond
- Iron Golems drop 1–3 iron ingots instead of 3–5 (balancing an otherwise quick skip to iron age)
Tips
- In the wooden age, you can still mine coal and cook food in campfires.
- When a Creeper blows up a block, there's a 1/3 chance it drops the item.
- When TNT blows up a block, it always drops the item.
