🔥 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.

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.
