About this Mod

Better Punching

A minecraft mod, making punching and breaking blocks much more realistic!

Features

  • If you (open-hand) punch a block, you can't harvest, you will hurt yourself.
  • You can no longer punch wood at the start of the game, you need to first get a flint axe.
  • Trying to break a block with no tool or the wrong tool will result in never ending breaking.
  • Glass of any kind now breaks instantly and will hurt you badly if you break it with bare hands.
  • You can now right click flint onto any stone block in order to sharpen it and make tools out of it.

Why this mod?

I really like playing realism based modpacks, so I decided to make the game more believeble, as punching
and breaking blocks is one of the main things all players do from the beginning, to the end of the game.

Aren't there mods out there that have the same feature as yours?

Yes, there are! But not a single one of them features what my mod features, and this is simplicity!
I have made the mod so it is as lightweight as possible without any bloat, also trying to be compatible with any modpack.

Is "x" mod compatible?

If "x" registers their tools with proper blockHarvestType, yes it "should" be 100% compatible.
If "x" registers their blocks with proper blockTags and harvestToolTypes yes it "should" be 100% compatible.

Features to be implemented soon:

  • Adding a configuration to the mod.
  • Add a option to remove all wooden and stone tools for more realism.

Compatible mods: (Tested on 1.16.5)

  • Dynamic Trees
  • Probably a lot more, I will be slowly adding to the list as I test out new mods.
