📖About Slow Start

Slow Start aims to make the early game slower by tweaking recipes, loot tables, but still trying to keep it feeling vanilla and hopefully fun.

This mod takes ideas and inspiration from different Mods and Datapacks such as...

- Eerily Slow by rexrexrexxhere

- Don't Punch Trees by TNT_Blox_0

- Martini´s Cooking and Smelting by Der_Martini

- Overly Realistic by Wilozyx

Go check them out!

Features:

Advancements:

Spoiler

The mod currently adds 19 new advancements to help guide the players on what to do.

The 13 advancements added by Slow Start.

Smelting changes:

Spoiler

Slow Start does a lot of change on smelting most notable is that campfire can be used to smelt pretty much anything that a normal furnace can,

But another change is how long it takes to smelt some items.

Items are separated in three categories Food, Stones and Ores.

Each of these categories have different smelting/cooking time for each furnace types and campfire.

Tweaked and new crafting recipes:

Spoiler

Slow start remove the ability to get wood with your bare hands, so the process of getting your first tools is a bit different.

You'll need to get stick from leaves, bamboo, dead bushes or sapplings.

And use those sticks to make planks.

Stone tools recipes are also changed being only hable to be crafted using stone, deepslate or blackstone, making players rely on wood tools for a bit longer.
