YTech
Immerse yourself in the Stone Age era where the early stages of the game become significantly more challenging. You'll need to master primitive technologies to advance in civilization development.
Standard Minecraft mobs like cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens are replaced by their wild ancestors. Crafting recipes for early-game items are completely reworked - now specific tools are required to mine certain blocks. The mod adds numerous new tools, items, and blocks that will help you in your progression.
Current development eras:
- Stone Age
- Bronze Age
- Beginning of Iron Age (crafting iron ingot is the final step currently)

Gameplay Tips
- Wood and dirt cannot be mined without the correct tool
- Your first goal is to find flint and strike it against stone
- Grass fibers can be obtained by breaking grass with sharp flint
- Look for deer - you'll need them for your first pickaxe
- Only deer with antlers drop the correct items

- Each chimney type can be up to 4 blocks high, otherwise it collapses
- Using reinforced chimney, you can increase height up to 8 blocks with combination of different types

- Using JEI is recommended for convenience
- Wild animals must be bred to obtain their domesticated versions:
- Aurochs → Cow
