Survivalist
Spicing up the early game, without making it overly tedious.
Introducing Survivalist 2.0
If you are wondering what "mods/1.12/Commons-1.12.0.jar" (gigaherz.commons in 2.1 and newer) is and where it came from, read this (yes it's there by design, no it's not dangerous).
- Overhauled the recipes, recipe importing, and recipe removal to match the 1.12 JSON recipe system.
- Added advancement-based recipe unlocks to give players a better sense of what to do next.
- This required removing or reducing the scope of some configurations. Sorry.
- Expanded the chopping block to have variants for all vanilla wood types.
- New machine: the Sawmill!
- Does everything the chopping block do, except it's powered like a furnace and it doesn't have a concept of axe levels or fortune. If you want to get extra outputs, work for them!
- New configuration option: custom output multipliers per axe level
- Not all axe levels have to be present
- When they are, they look like this:
axemultipliers {
D:AxeLevel0=5.0
D:AxeLevel2=10.0
D:AxeLevel5=25.0
}
- Fixed a bunch of bugs
Features
Everything listed below can be turned off on the config file:
- Sticks are no longer directly craftable from planks.
- Get them by placing sheared leaves and saplings in a crafting grid.
- Break planks into sticks in the Chopping Block.
- Rocks and Ore Rocks
- Mining stone drops rocks (4) instead of cobble. In order to craft cobblestone, you'll need clay.
- Andesite, Diorite and Granite drop rocks, too.
- Any 4 will turn into gravel, which can be crafted again into 4 generic rocks. All the cobblestone!
- The corresponding blocks are crafted by surrounding a ball of clay with 8 rocks.
- Mining iron/gold now drops ore rocks (2..4), which smelt for one nugget each.
- Mod Ore Rocks and their corresponding nuggets
- Metals supported: Copper, Tin, Lead, Silver
- Same rules as the gold and iron rocks
- Mining stone drops rocks (4) instead of cobble. In order to craft cobblestone, you'll need clay.
- Tools and armor drop one of their crafting components.
- Enchant tools with Scraping I/II/III to increase the chances it's the GOOD item.
- Enchant armor with Scraping I/II/III to increase the chances it's two instead.
- Craftable chainmail!
- Iron nuggets in a diamond shape make chainmail pieces
- Chainmail pieces are then materials for crafting the armor.
- Torches can set things on fire!
- But they have a rather high chance of breaking in the process.
- Drying rack
- Turn meat into jerky: not too nutritive, but highly saturating.
- Turn leather (which really, should be called hide), into tanned leather, for improved armour.
- Chopping block
- Crafted from Logs
- Click repeatedly until the placed block breaks (TODO: allow continuous holding)
- Allows chopping logs into planks
- Allows chopping planks into sticks
- Yield depends on axe harvest level (be careful, using your hands has a high probability of not yielding any item!)
- NEW: You can chop wool into strings (although it's a rather inefficient process -- and will never yield more string than needed to make a wool block)
- JEI Integration
- Drying recipes show input, output and drying time
- Chopping recipes show input, output, and average number of resulting items
Adding custom chopping tools
As of v1.7.0, it is possible to register new items as "axes" for the chopping block, by adding them to the "customaxes" section of the config:
customaxes {
I:"minecraft:flint"=1
I:"minecraft:dye@14"=2
}
CraftTweaker Integrations
See this link for details on scripting Survivalist recipes using CT: http://crafttweaker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#Mods/Survivalist/Survivalist/
Planned features
(More to less likely)
- WAILA / The One Probe integration (drying / chopping progress)
- Mortar & pestle: Mashing up bones and plants into bonemeal and dyes, making medicinal plant blends (anti-venom, speed, strength, ... -- less potent than proper "magical" potions), etc.
Feel free to give your suggestions, I'm open to new ideas! (Doesn't mean I will implement everything, though ;P)
Can I use this in <X>?
Yes. Unless <X>'s license is incompatible with this mod's, which is unlikely.

Hi Gigaherz,
You seem to be busy porting some of your other mods to 1.14 atm.
Do you plan to do the same with Survivalist at one point in time ?
I really loved your mod when playing on 1.12. It's really well designed and clearly reinforces the interest for early game.
Thanks to let us know,
It's next on my list. Ender-Rift is mostly working but waiting for a couple issues with models.
I meant to switch the buildscript to 1.14 some days ago, and let IntelliJ scare me with all the errors in the code, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
In reply to TheRealGigaherz:
Thanks for your quick answer, m8. Good to hear that you will be working on it soon.
Good luck for the switch to 1.14.
I've been playing around with this mod a bit and I have a few bugs/suggestions.
Firstly, when placing chopping blocks, it always places an acacia or oak one, regardless of what log it is.
Secondly, support for mods such as quark, rustic, and BoP would be appreciated, as it would allow making chopping blocks from modded logs and get rocks from modded stones.
I also feel that the drying rack should serve more of a purpose than just leather and jerky. Recipes like drying wood pulp into paper, BoP mud into mud bricks, or even something as silly as drying saplings into dead bushes.
Moreover, I feel that this mod adding its own bread is redundant, and simply changing the recipe for vanilla bread would work much better.
Lastly, I feel like this mod could utilize some sort of grindstone very well, for the purpose of dyes and powders, and maybe flour that would be used to make dough instead of straight wheat.
Overall a fun and interesting mod, and I can't wait to see what it becomes.
Thanks for all the suggestions! The chopping block issue I think I already fixed locally, but I haven't released an update since then, so it's still just in my pc.
As for modded chopping blocks or rocks, I don't like to autogenerate things based on other mod's content, so it would require some addon to provide those modded blocks/items. I may accept a PR if it contains common wood types or such, but I wouldn't want to bloat my mod with a version of the chopping block for every possible wood type in BoP or Forestry.
The paper idea I really like. Chop wood into pulp, and dry it into paper -- I'll write that down in my todo list!
A mortar&pestle, with its corresponding automatic grinder, is something I have considered, but I didn't add because it's present in so many other mods that it feels like a cliché.
Note however, that I'm focusing my scarce energy into porting my mods to 1.13.2, as a stepping stone for 1.14.x, so it's unlikely I'll do any large additions to this or any other of my mods, that I didn't already start working on.
Can you maybe add an option for the sawmill to be RF powered? A coal powered multi block sawmill would be BADDDASSSS. I hate the "just another vanilla furnace" feel of the current sawmill.
I could, yes, but it feels out of place for this mod. The point of the sawmill was to provide a vanilla-like solution that didn't involve high-tech. Also, aren't there sawmills and sawmill-like blocks on more high-tech mods?
In reply to gigaherz:
Only one I know of that adds a sawmill is Thermal Dynamics, which is a huge tech mod and I don't want that in my pack. If I could just rip the sawmill out of that mod and add it into your mod I would be stoked.
Hello. I have a request but I understand it may not be to your liking. I'd really like to stop flowing lava mixing with flowing water to create infinite cobble/stone.
Clearly I'm not playing in a skyblock. That's the only place where I personally see infinite cobble/stone as being appropriate in a survival or hardcore world. I also understand that mod-added cobble generators would have to be disabled. I already do that in my packs but disabling infinite cobble isn't something I've been able to do in 1.12. RIP Vanilla With Sprinkles :(
Of course, this sort of thing is best implemented as a config setting - probably set to false by default.
When flowing water (not a source block) hits a lava source block, that should still make obsidian. That consumes the source block so it's ok. The goal is to prevent the infinite creation of blocks from nothing. This enables a host of other gameplay mechanics that are great in survival, without them becoming OP.
Thanks for reading and thanks for all your work on this mod :)
Hey sorry I forgot to reply. I'm not sure that such a feature belongs in Survivalist. I'll keep it in mind, and give it some more though.
In reply to gigaherz:
I appreciate it and understand what you mean. The reason why I thought of your mod in particular was because of what you do with stone dropping rocks which then need to be crafted with clay to make cobble. Silk touch and cobble gens make this entirely redundant.
There does seem to be scope for a survival mod of this sort so I'll see if I can either find someone else to do it or finally learn how to mod for myself.
All the best.
Having some trouble fully disabling Scraping - I have all the relevant settings set to false but it's still showing up on tools/armor when using the enchantment table.
Are you using the latest version for 1.12? In theory it shouldn't show up but if it does, then I'll have to take a look.
Note that when you disable Scrapping I keep the enchantment registered, so that items that had it previously won't stop working. However even if an item keeps the enchantment in the itemstack, it will do nothing.
In reply to gigaherz:
How do I use the chopping block?
In reply to endercreepconcept:
Is there any way to add multiple outputs to a chopping recipe with crafttweaker? For example, if I want chopping a log to give planks, sawdust, and bark, what's the format?
Sadly no, my current implementation doesn't have any provision for multiple outputs. It's currently limited to 1-to-1 mappings, 1 input 1 output.
If you post a feature request in my issue tracker, I will take a look at it sooner or later, although I don't know if it will make it into 1.12, or I'll wait and implement during/after the port to 1.13.
