About Rudimentary

From Modrinth

Slow down early game progression by making players gather resources before breaking blocks.

Rudimentary

Slow down the early game when creating a new world by forcing players to gather resources with their hand before chopping down trees.

Rudimentary adds the following mechanics:

Flint Tools

Players cannot break logs with their fists, but instead need to gather flint, sticks and flax (obtained by breaking grass) to craft a flint hatchet. Rudimentary also provides a flint pickaxe.

Unlit campfires

Campfires are now unlit when placed down. Players can craft fire starters from sticks and flax to ignite them without having to acquire iron.

Brick Furnace

A slow blast furnace which requires a bit more work to get than a normal furnace. It is recommended that you make vanilla furnaces harder to get (e.g. using Privileged), otherwise brick furnaces don't make much sense.

The brick furnace is accompanied by a new set of brick blocks.

Dependencies

Rudimentary only depends on Fabric API, but a recipe viewer is recommended.
