Tough Environment

Tough Environment is a mod that overhauls how most blocks in the world break and how the player interacts with them. Slower early game and a more fletched out progressions of tools in the beginning provide the player with an interesting challenge.

List of Features:

Added:

• Copper & Netherite Nuggets!
• Stone Brick Item
• Block of Clay (because the vanilla clay block has been changed)
• Chisel Items
• Loose Blocks variants for most stone blocks & Loose Dirt. Slab block variants for those blocks as well
• Placeable raw ore items as blocks
• Mortaring mechanic for loose stone type blocks
• Sound cues when breaking certain blocks for more immersion

Configuration Settings for:

• Hardcore Mining Speed (slower overall speed)
• Block Breaking Restrictions - Makes blocks unbreakable if the player is not using the correct tool
• Stratification Toughness - Makes some blocks that are considered higher strata than stone level blocks require higher level pickaxes to mine effectively

Changed:

• Most blocks in the world drop lesser loot instead of full blocks when harvested with an improper tool
• Stone Blocks in the world break in layers when mined with a primitive tool
• Primitive tools (stone & wooden types) have reduced durability
• Changed Clay block generation with a new custom "Dirt Clay" block
• Flint and Steel, Compass & Bucket's recipes now require nuggets instead of ingots
• Clock recipe changed to require gold nuggets instead of ingots & quartz instead of redstone

Acknowledgement: This mod is a substantial adaptation and ports functionality from the original BTW Mod, which was created by FlowerChild and is currently maintained by the CE Team. Link to the original mod -> here
