This datapack overhauls core Minecraft progression by replacing the stone tier with an improved wooden tier, adjusting ore processing to use nuggets in furnaces and ingots in blast furnaces, and modifying resource acquisition such as raw ore drops and clay smelting. It also introduces new crafting interactions like turtle scutes for lime shulker boxes, blaze rods converting to blaze powder via campfires, and spyglass recipes with glass. Additionally, potion brewing has been shifted from the Nether to the Overworld, with new world generation tweaks like nether wart spawning in ruined portals, making survival gameplay more challenging and rewarding.
