It was initially inspired by features from TerraFirmaCraft, but has since been refocused around the titular idea: **Blocks don&#8217;t drop anything if broken without the correct tool.** In order to cope with this, there are several new features:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Leaves can be harvested without a tool for sticks (this is a vanilla feature, but will be very important here.<br \/>\n&#8211; Gravel can be mined without a tool, and enables you to aquire flint.<br \/>\n&#8211; Flint can be knapped on an exposed stone surface, obtaining flint shards.<br \/>\n&#8211; A Flint Knife can now be crafted, allowing you to harvest plant materials for plant fibers and craft plant string.<br \/>\n&#8211; A Flint Axe can enable you to collect wood and build a crafting table.<br \/>\n&#8211; A Flint pickaxe, hoe and shovel will serve as early game tools, while you can create a Macuahutil for a good early game weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Later on in the game, there are also a couple other additions and changes which fit the stylistic theme of this mod<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Vanilla recipes for wooden and stone tools have been removed.<br \/>\n&#8211; The vanilla campfire recipe as been removed, and instead it is crafted using a Fire Starter.<br \/>\n&#8211; Pottery can be created using a Clay Tool on a block of clay, forming it to shape before firing it in a campfire or a furnace.<br \/>\n&#8211; Knives are a new tool available in all vanilla tool materials, and can be used as weak swords, as a crafting tool, or a plant harvester.<br \/>\n&#8211; Saws are a weaker version of an axe which are used as crafting items, and are essential for converting wood into planks and planks into sticks.<br \/>\n&#8211; Mattocks are the ultimate all-in-one tool. They can mine blocks as if they were a shovel, axe, or hoe, and can strip wood like an axe, till grass like a hoe, and make paths like a shovel. (The latter two functions sometimes conflict and can be chosen by sneaking).<\/p>\n<p>![Splash Image](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/alcatrazEscapee\/no-tree-punching\/1.20.x\/img\/splash.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Credit<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to EERussianGuy for spontaneously updating ALL my rubbish programmer art to beautiful new textures!<\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy<\/p>\n<p>~ AlcatrazEscapee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This mod adds a little more believability to your first few minutes of play, via the titular feature: Blocks don&#8217;t drop anything if broken without the correct tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":112650,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"no-tree-punching","_minecraft_project_id":"2W2FL5UY","_minecraft_author":"alcatrazEscapee","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":711780,"_minecraft_follows":123,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"no-tree-punching.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1317846,"_minecraft_version_count":4,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T15:22:31.755084Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-06-13T04:52:19.931987Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2023-06-21T00:53:54.313104Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/no-tree-punching","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":112650,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-06T15:07:40+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"af7ab71b7d568f4aa059e4ed676fa0c0","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[156,97,104,89,158,159],"mod_loader":[106,160],"minecraft_version":[117,48,53,56,59,36],"class_list":["post-112649","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-decoration","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-worldgen","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-15-2","minecraft_version-1-16-5","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
