Survivalist Essentials

New Approach to Early Game

In standard Minecraft, the early game stages are practically non-existent - just punch a tree, craft a few items, and you're done! This mod completely changes this concept by creating a full progression system for the first few nights and fundamentally reworking the mechanics of obtaining wood and planks.

Development History and Compatibility

Originally developed as an immersion mod for Tinkers' Construct, Survivalist Essentials contains all the core mechanical features of Tinkers' Survival in a separate mod. This allows for quick adaptation to new versions of Minecraft and ensures easy integration with other mods and modpacks.

Unique Features

Unlike other mods that restrict tree punching, this one implements a more thoughtful system:

• Appropriate harvesting tools must be used for resource collection, with this system working correctly and being fully configurable
• Supports both blacklist (default) and whitelist approaches for enabling/disabling specific tools or armor from other mods
• Focuses specifically on early game, gently guiding players toward proper tool usage
• Doesn't conflict with popular mods and is perfect for modpacks

Key Mechanics

• The only way to obtain wooden planks is by using a saw
• Crude tools become essential for progression since they are the only means of obtaining wood
