## Harder Tools<\/p>\n
This data pack reworks Minecraft’s progression, making tool and weapon crafting more complex, logical, and resource-intensive. The goal is to add depth to the early and mid-game without disrupting balance.<\/p>\n
**Crafting Changes:**<\/p>\n
The early game has been made more difficult:<\/p>\n
Wooden and stone tools now require string, which is crafted from wool, making early tools and other items dependent on sheep hunting.
\n<\/p>\n
**Tools and weapons require more resources:**<\/p>\n
Recipes for all swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, and spears have been reworked.<\/p>\n
Crafting iron, diamond, and netherite tools now requires additional nugget, slightly slowing down the progression to new equipment levels.<\/p>\n
**Added a new endgame craft:**<\/p>\n
The Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template duplication crafting has been changed and made more difficult. This makes the transition to endgame gear more difficult and time-consuming.
