EarlyToBed

In the beginning of the game you have to kill three sheep to create your first bed. How can you sleep soundly after such a brutal act? So I created the wooden shears to allow a less violent start.

About this Mod

Minecraft Early to Bed Mod

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise"

But when starting a new game in Minecraft you cannot go early to bed.
First you must kill three sheep with your bare hands or with a wooden sword.
Then you create a bed from the spoil of this brutal act and expect to sleep soundly. - Barbaric.

So I made this mod to allow a less violent start.
I have created the wooden shears.
It has pitifully low durability, barely enough to collect 3 wools for your first bed.

There is one more item to help you at the very beginning of a new game: the wooden bucket.
It is similar to a normal bucket, but made of wood, can hold only water, and does not interact with cauldrons.

For developers

Quite often, when I start learning programming on a new platform, I find even the simplest examples too complicated.
Tutorials, written by experts, with years of experience programming on that platform, sometimes forget how difficult those first step are.
This is why I decided to make my first, very simple, Minecraft mods publicly available.

EarlyToBed server crashes on startup – what to do?

EarlyToBed officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with EarlyToBed – how to optimize performance?
