Better Progression
by terozalent
Better Progression changes the early game of Fabric 1.19.2 by replacing the wood, stone and iron tool and armor steps with flint, brass and cast iron.
What it does
The mod removes the wooden, stone and iron tools and the iron armor from the early progression path, and adds flint, brass and cast iron tools plus brass and cast iron armor in their place. The author describes the default early game as too quick and too simple, and the changed gear is meant to make the first stages of progression slower and more demanding. Advancements were adjusted to match the new tool and armor chain.
Only the server and players need the mod, since the environment is client and server. The license is the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the project is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Its author notes that it works alongside Create, Fabric Better Combat, Alloy Forgery and Better Progression's companion mods, which the author recommends for a fuller playthrough.
