Design Note: In the mid to late game, especially once players get looting on their weapons, players stack up on vast amounts of mob materials to the point where there is no need to venture out to collect more. These changes aim to reduce the amount of excess material that players can stockpile while also dampening the power spike looting grants. Some items that are tedious to grind have also gotten some adjustments to improve the process of obtaining them.

Design Note: Gathering materials in the early-mid game is much more time consuming with the lack of powerful enchants and gear compared to vanilla’s progression curve. These changes add some more forgiveness to the resource input to output ratio so players aren’t disincentivized to build due to the amount of time that is needed to gather materials.
