🔥 Description

Slower Blocks is a lightweight Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that cranks up the tension by making every block take longer to break unless you’re using the proper tools. No more punching trees like a superhero — this mod forces you to respect the grind, plan your moves, and actually use the gear you craft.

Perfect for hardcore worlds, realism packs, challenge runs, or anyone who wants Minecraft to feel a little more brutal and a lot more intentional.

⚙️ What This Mod Does

• ⛏️ Massively increases block break time when using fists or the wrong tool

• 🪓 Keeps normal break speed when using the correct tool

• 🧱 Affects every block in the game (vanilla-friendly, no weird exceptions)

• 🔥 Adds real tension to early‑game survival

• 💀 Makes hardcore mode feel actually hardcore

• 🧩 Fully server‑compatible — everyone feels the pain

• ⚡ Zero configs needed — drop it in and go

• 🧼 Lightweight, clean, and conflict‑free

🎯 Why You’ll Love It

This mod transforms the early game into a gritty, deliberate experience. Every block matters. Every tool matters. Every decision matters. If you want Minecraft to hit harder without adding bloat, this is the one.

🙏 Special Thanks

Huge shoutout to Microsoft Copilot — I literally didn’t know how to code before this, and this mod wouldn’t exist without the help. Absolute lifesaver.
