Simple Flint Tools
A good pairing with my No Tree Punch mod. This allows the player to craft a flint hatchet and knife, early game, without a crafting table

About this Mod
Adds simple flint tools which can be crafted in the 2x2 crafting grid in a shapeless crafting format.
This mod exists simply because I needed it for a larger mod I am working on and is a good companion to my No Tree Punch mod (An optional dependancy if you want to prevent punching of any log).
Both items have very low durability becasue that's how it would be in the real world. I should know, I've made both of them in real life and they do not hold up to much tree smaking.
DEVS:
Yes, you may use this in your modpack.
This mod adds two flint items (hatchet and a knife) and their recipes, and an advancement that gives the player the recipes and nothing else.
I added a full description in the spoiler below:
Spoiler
Flint knife is added: Crafted by obtaining 1 flint from gravel and 1 stick from either tree leaves or dead brush and crafting in a shapless format in the inventory screen. Low attack damage but a fast attack speed. Good starter weapon.
Flint Hatchet is added: Uses two flint and one stick, also a shapeless recipe able to craft in the inventory screen.
Slow chop speed but hey, it's an axe made out of a rock... what do you expect?
