## Overview<\/p>\n
Early game is pretty much non-existent in Minecraft. Punch a tree, craft a few items, done! This mod creates a very early game (first few nights) progression that leads directly into Tinkers’ Construct tool making. If Constructs’ Armory is installed (1.12.2 only), a progression into armor making as well!<\/p>\n
### Major Features<\/p>\n
* Vanilla and vanilla-like tools and weapons don’t work for players, but are usable by NPCs and craftable for recipes.
\n * All tool progression is based around Tinkers’ Construct tools and weapons.
\n * The only way to make wood planks is with a saw.
\n * Saw is a new item introduced that has a “Crude” version and an advanced Tinkers’ version.
\n * A proper harvest tool must be used. Works correctly, and configurable!
\n * Crude tools are necessary to create items needed for crafting Tinkers’ tools.
\n * Should not conflict with major mods
\n * Modpack friendly<\/p>\n
#### Gameplay Features
\n * Gameplay
\n * A correct tool must be used given the block type. Failure is an option.
\n * Incorrect tool will make harvesting really slow.
\n * All tools and weapons in non-whitelisted mods are rendered ineffective.
\n * If enabled, all non-whitelisted armor mods and items are disabled.
\n * Planks and sticks are no longer craftable without a tool component. See Crude Saw\/Saw.
\n * Special Drops
\n * Sticks from leaves. (Better drop rate when using a knife)
\n * Rocks from rock piles. (No tool required)
\n * Plant fiber from grass. (Only if using a knife)
\n * Flint shards from whacking rocks on stone.
\n * WorldGen
\n * Adds rock piles throughout the world. (Generation rate configurable)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
