"What if Minecraft had reasonable progression?"

Slowing down the progression of the game whilst enhancing each stage to make it more enjoyable. The beginning might be tedious, but the features of this mod make it so rewarding!

Base Features:

Sharpened Flint - Your first axe/tool; crafted from one pebble and one flint.
More Ore Nuggets - There are now ore nuggets for coal, copper, lapis, raw iron, raw gold, diamond, emerald and netherite. The quantity of an ore that you obtain is now effected by the tier of pickaxe. Wooden and stone pickaxes now break much more easily.
Collection Net & Sluice Box - Place them in water to passively gain fishing or mineral loot respectively!
Hydration - Purify water in a Sand Filter and cook it to get Purified Water! Drink it to gain the hydrated effect which makes you faster and immune to the thirst effect (caused by bad food, excessive jumping & excessive sprinting).
Illness - Mobs have a chance to be ill. If they sneeze on you, they can give you the ill effect which makes it impossible to gain saturation. Cure it by drinking purified water.
Mercy Killing - Kill an animal in one shot to gain normal drops, otherwise you may gain their carcass. To cook a carcass, first break it down with a cutting board which also has a chance to produce rare cuts like bacon and jerky!
New Flowers! - Named after viewers of my YouTube channel! Collect them all to fill out your viewer garden!
