AntiTree
by toastydoll
AntiTree turns off tree punching so that players begin with flint-based starter tools instead of bare-handed wood collection.
What it does
Breaking leaves and logs by hand is disabled, and early progress runs through flint instead. Right-clicking a flint stone block yields flint shards, grass can be harvested with flint knives to get plant fibers, and flint tools are crafted from sticks, plant fiber and flint shards. The starter tools take the place of the wooden tools, and the crafting recipes for wooden tools are removed entirely.
The mod is meant for a more vanilla-like opening to the game, and it works with JEI, REI and EMI for recipe viewing and with Farmer's Delight. Better Combat ships a datapack for it, and Dynamic Trees has addons that can be combined with it. Installation is the same on every supported loader, and the mod is listed for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.21.8.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest build for each loader is 1.0.1. Both the server and each player must run the mod in this client and server setup. The code is covered by All rights reserved, which makes the mod not open source.
Key features
Disabled tree punching
Collecting wood by hitting trees with bare hands is switched off, so the early game starts with flint tools.
Flint shards from flint stone
Right-clicking a piece of flint stone block gives flint shards, and new worlds begin with two of them.
Plant fibers from grass
Flint knives harvest plant fibers from grass, and those fibers are used in starter tool recipes.
Starter tools replace wooden tools
Flint tools are crafted from sticks, plant fiber and flint shards, and wooden tool recipes are removed.
