What it does

Flint tools are the first item tier in the mod. Flint tools break stone tools faster and come close to iron tools in effectiveness, so they suit the early hours of a survival world. Tree taps collect sap from birch trees and pitch from spruce trees, and sap can be processed into syrup.

A hand pump draws fluids from the area around it, and the pump keeps working for as long as the player keeps pumping. Leather, string and clay can be obtained from a drying rack, which makes it a useful supply point. A coal-powered block washes other blocks, and water from it can erode smaller pieces. Heat sources placed underneath melt blocks, while ice placed under or around fluids cools them into solid form.

Bushcraft also includes a copper bell that sounds a warning when creepers approach a camp, and a rabbit snare that lures rabbits and traps them. Its machinery works with hoppers in a similar way to a campfire. The low-capacity block needs to be checked regularly. The mod runs on client and server and depends on Architectury API and Geckolib, with EMI, Jade, JEI and REI supported as optional add-ons.
