About this Mod

Progressioned is a mod that aims to make the early game of Minecraft feel more grounded and Harder. Instead of immediately punching trees and jumping straight to iron, you'll need to work your way up through primitive tool tiers before you can progress further.

Flint Tier : The beginning of your journey. Flint tools won't come easy ,you'll need to knap raw flint against stone repeatedly to produce flint shards and flint chips. You'll also need plant fiber, gathered by breaking grass with a flint knife.
Toolset : Axe , Pickaxe , Shovel , Knife , Spear , Saw
Bone Tier : Bone tools are a scrappy mid-point , fragile but surprisingly enchantable and high damage, making them a good early game weapon choice or even mid-game. Sharp bones are crafted by striking a bone against stone, the same knapping process used for flint. Bone tools can also now be upgraded to Amethyst bone and Golden bone with their own different benefits
Toolset : Sword , Spear , Club
Copper Tier : Copper finally has a real purpose. Iron ore can no longer be mined with a stone pickaxe. You'll need copper tools to reach the iron age. Copper sits firmly between stone and iron, acting as a necessary stepping stone rather than a skippable tier.
Toolset : Sword , Pickaxe , Axe , Shovel , Hoe , Spear
Chopping Block : To get wood for a crafting now you need to make posts by hitting logs with an axe on the chopping board to get 2 posts which can be crafted with an axe to get planks. Saws can be crafted later on to be able to get planks easier
Porcelain Kiln : Early game alternative to the furnace. Right click with the items to smelt , holds upto 16 items at a time , right click to extract the output , shift right click to extract the input. Needs to be above a fire block to smelt items.(use coal blocks under the fire as it makes the fire stay on for forever)
Campfire Base : Right click with a coal/charcoal to turn into an unlit campfire.
Fire Stick : Hold in both hands then hold right click to set the block on fire, works on unlit campfires aswell
Clay Buckets : Smelt an unfired clay bucket to get a clay bucket which can be used to transport water and lava (breaks after placing the lava down stays fine with water)

- Throwable Spears
- Harder Stone Age progression
