About this Mod
PLEASE VISIT THE ORIGINAL PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE PACK
If you intend to use the mod's built in textures or are using the datapack as a resourcepack, you need Modefite to get the sword models working. The resourcepack is also available here. For best results use the separate resourcepack, on top of all other resources. Otherwise you will need to put mod resources on top of everything else.
This is the easier version of my Metallic datapack (found here). It is designed for modpacks that significantly increase the difficulty of minecraft, and make exploring caves much more dangerous. Don't feel bad about using it. The main changes from the original are as following:
-Blasting and smelting produces ingots instead of nuggets
-armor requires pressure plates to craft instead of ingots, to slightly balance the ore economy
-Animals drop leather instead of rabbit hide
-Diamonds now only require smelting, you do not need to craft Diamond Ore out of 4 Deepslate Diamond Ore blocks
For a progression guide and more, please visit the original page. Link can be found above.
