## 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.<\/p>\n

### Advancements:<\/p>\n The mod currently adds 19 new advancements to help guide the players on what to do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n ### Smelting changes:<\/p>\n 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,<\/p>\n But another change is how long it takes to smelt some items.<\/p>\n Items are separated in three categories Food, Stones and Ores.<\/p>\n Each of these categories have different smelting\/cooking time for each furnace types and campfire.<\/p>\n  ### Tweaked and new crafting recipes:<\/p>\n Slow start remove the ability to get wood with your bare hands, so the process of getting your first tools is a bit different.<\/p>\n You’ll need to get stick from leaves, bamboo, dead bushes or sapplings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And use those sticks to make planks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Furnaces have a different recipe too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Iron amors recipes now results in chainmail armors instead. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now to craft iron armor you need to suround an existing piece of chainmail armor with 4 iron ingots.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beds will require leather to craft.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Slows down the early game progression, by tweaking crafting recipes, loot tables, and more…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":143370,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"slow-start","_minecraft_project_id":"A6OLMrCz","_minecraft_author":"Azertium","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":776,"_minecraft_follows":8,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"slow-start.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":921472,"_minecraft_version_count":10,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T21:39:58.756214Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-09-22T04:02:01.731358Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-12-11T14:53:07.446468Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/slow-start","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":143370,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-08T13:02:59+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"1b3243b216cea51db700e1b5258178df","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,88,97,89],"mod_loader":[99],"minecraft_version":[40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-143369","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-equipment","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_loader-fabric","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\nSpoiler<\/summary>\n
