Ages Primitives

by hyperlitica.geopolitical

Ages Primitives adds a knapping interface for shaping stone and flint tool heads, aimed at the early stages of primitive progression.

ForgeClient and serverApache License 2.0Open source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Right-clicking on air while holding the correct material opens a knapping screen. The player carves patterns on a grid, and a grid pattern that matches a recipe produces the tool head. Stone and flint heads are the first step toward primitive tools, and crafting consumes only the material, while the finished result is the one taken from the screen.

Knapping recipes are data-driven JSON files, so pack makers can add or change them without code. JEI and EMI show the recipe categories, and KubeJS can read a custom knapping recipe schema for scripted recipes. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 0.6.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest alpha file, under the Apache License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Knapping screen

    A right-click on air with the matching material opens a grid where the player carves shapes into a tool head.

  2. Pattern matching

    A carved grid is compared against recipe patterns, and a match produces the crafted tool head.

  3. Data-driven recipes

    Knapping recipes are written as JSON, so new patterns and outputs need no Java code.

  4. JEI and EMI support

    Knapping recipes appear in their own recipe categories in JEI and EMI for lookup.
