What's new

## TechGrid – Update: Tools via Hephaestus

### Starter Kit
- Removed the stone tools from the starter kit.
- The kit now contains: Quest Book, Backpack, food (bread, cooked beef, apples), 32 torches, crafting table and bed.
- Updated welcome message: tells players to start with the Forge Table (Hephaestus).

### Tools
- Vanilla tools are now crafted from Hephaestus Tools parts (head + binding + handle):
  - Stone: stone head (Forge Table)
  - Iron / Gold: head cast in the Hephaestus Forge
  - Diamond: cast iron head + 2 diamonds
  - Wooden axe, shovel, hoe and sword: wooden head (Forge Table)
- Exception: the Wooden Pickaxe keeps its original recipe (3 planks + 2 sticks) for the early game.
- Netherite is still made at the Smithing Table.
- Hephaestus' own tools (mattock, kama, hammers, paxel...) are built at the Forge Table and are better than vanilla.

### Hephaestus
- New Forge Table recipe: 3 flint + 5 planks + 1 crafting table (previously required an anvil, which was not obtainable early).
