HardRock Tools & Materials

This mod introduces a completely new system for crafting basic tools and materials used in various crafting recipes.

Main Features

The mod offers more rational use of plant fibers that can be harvested from regular grass. These fibers serve as the basis for creating various items: plant string, plant mesh, and durable plant ropes.

Flint becomes a key resource for making the first primitive tools. With it, you can create flint knives, flint shears, and from stone - a stone hammer.

Realistic Approach to Tools

The mod author considers the use of wooden or even stone pickaxes unrealistic, as such tools don't exist in reality. Therefore, the mod makes the initial phase of the game somewhat more challenging - instead of a regular axe, you have to use a flint hatchet, and instead of non-metal pickaxes, craft a stone hammer that can mine stone and the first metal ores.

The mod completely disables some standard wooden and stone tools from the vanilla version, replacing them with primitive flint counterparts.

Compatibility and Usage

This is a basic mod used in the author's modpacks and serves as a foundation for other developments. You can freely use it in your modpacks if you miss such elements, like them, or simply need them for your gameplay.
