About this Mod

Metals

Warning this makes minecraft significanly harder

This is a decent size progression overhaul. It is designed to increase the time it takes to get max gear from 2 hours to about 7-10 hours but with becoming to grindy.

It does this by changing

Mob and Player, health and damage.
Crafting Costs, reqiring different roods for tools.
Block Drops, adding a chance for copper to drop from diorite, granite and andesite.

This should be compatable with most mods and datapacks that don't overide tool and armor stats and recipes.
