Short introduction
Mod replaces silly wooden tools and tree punching with more reasonable options.

You heard this before. There are small mods that add flint tools and maybe grass fiber; there are large mods like MITE that completely change the game. And I liked none of them.

I wanted a more believable early game. I wanted more difficult but still satisfying early game. Since no modder did it right, here we are...

Vision and history
This mod was partly inspired by "minecraft is too easy", where there was a clear pre-stone phase of the game. That is what I wanted to capture.

But only that; there are no more similarities with MITE because its author Avernite is apparently a sadist.I am not a sadist. I can make the start more difficult, I can make you worry about food and shelter, but I want you to get out of all that victoriously - proud of yourself and, perchance, a tad thankful to me for making this.
