Description

Basics is a Forge mod that adds basic/primitive armor and tools.

This mod is designed to be used with mods/modpacks that stagger progression in the game, such as flint tool mods, mods that make stone and wooden tools uncraftable, hot iron, overgeared, reskillable, etc. Essentially any mod that makes significant changes to vanilla progression and tool/armor tiers. 

Each item is intended to be simple to create, filling gaps in where vanilla progression is removed or changed.

- Leiomano

If you have Alex's Mobs installed, you can craft an exclusive weapon using items from it

description_e1be3315-b41b-48e6-8c5c-fe3fcc6c0aeb.png

5.5 Damage, 165 Durability
Shark teeth inlaid and bound to a wooden club. Definitely hurts to get hit by

Crafting Recipe:
- 2 Planks
- 1 Stick
- 4 Shark Teeth

description_dc5819f9-bc45-47d3-b212-61ebba58bad6.png

(Alex's Mobs exclusive item. Tiered between wood and iron damage and durability-wise, high enchantability. Attacks slightly faster than normal weapons)



- Fire Hardening

The Sharpened Stick and Crude Spear can both be upgraded with a new mechanic called Fire Hardening. Putting either weapon on a campfire for a short while will carbonize and harden the sharpened end(s) of the weapon, resulting in increased damage and durability. Can only be done once.

Other Notes

- Item recipes use forge nbt tags for better mod compatiblity (e.g. 'forge rod/wooden' for sticks and 'forge string' for string, etc.). Allows mods that add string-like or stick-like items to be used in these crafting recipes

- Built-in compatability with Better Combat

- Wearing all of the best armor in this mod will give you 3.5 armor points in-game, at least it's better than nothing!

Just the basics™
