Toby's Better Progression

Requires you to upgrade your armor progressively instead of skipping to higher tiers.
MODS SUCH AS JEI AND REI ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Tired of jumping from stone tools to diamond in your first cave? This mod completely reworks Minecraft’s gear progression, creating a slower, more rewarding upgrade path that encourages exploration, crafting, and survival.
No more mining iron with stone tools! Each tool and armor tier must be crafted using the previous tier as a base. And progression is locked behind Upgrade Smithing Templates that must be found in structures across the world.
Progression Path:
🪨 Stone → 🟠 Copper → ⚙️ Iron → 🟣 Obsidian → 💎 Diamond → 💚 Emerald → 🔥 Netherite
Core Features:
⛏️ Tools and armor require the previous tier to upgrade, no skipping ahead.
Progression is locked behind Upgrade Smithing Templates found in world structures:
Iron Upgrade Template
Obsidian Upgrade Template
Diamond Upgrade Template
Emerald Upgrade Template
Templates are hidden in dungeons, temples, bastions, and other structures, exploration is key.
Makes underused materials like Copper, Obsidian, and Emerald vital to your journey.
Designed for survival players and modpack creators looking for a richer, more immersive progression.
✅ Compatible with most ore generation and gear-related mods.
Earn your upgrades. Explore the world. Forge your legacy, one tier at a time.
New recipe for obsidian, since its unobtainable without diamond
