About this Mod

Ever thought that the beginning of minecraft worlds were too easy? Well, with Creeper's Alternative Start™, you can change that.

In CAS, you can't punch trees, so get flint and knap it on a rock. Combine a shard from knapping and a stick to make a flint knife. Break grass with the knife to get Grass fibers. Combine 3 fibers to make Grass string. With string, make a flint hatchet and pickaxe. With the pickaxe, mine copper to make copper tools! (Equivalent to stone tools)

Minecraft Progression has been altered! Instead of going straight to the nether after getting diamonds, you have to kill the Elder Guardian. Turtle Armor can help you kill it, as even though the default armor bars of it are weaker than iron, it has more armor toughness, knockback resistance, and, with the full set equiped, grants you water breathing for 4 minutes. Iroll is a post EG metal made from combining gold and Iron and putting it into a Blast Furnace, which needs blackstone now, requiring you to go to the nether. Anvils will need this Iroll, making repairing hard early game and enchantments impossible pre-EG. But, to kill the dragon, you must kill the wither first! The Enchanting Table also requires a piece of endstone, meaning you must kill the dragon before an enchanting table is given.

Look at Advancements for a more complete Guide!
