No Tree Punching
Without the right tool, blocks in No Tree Punching drop nothing, so the first minutes of a new world depend on flint, gravel and handmade tools.
What it does
The titular rule is that a block broken without the correct tool leaves no drop. The idea was first drawn from older survival designs and has since been refocused around that rule. Gravel yields flint when mined bare-handed, flint can be knapped from exposed stone into flint shards, and a Flint Knife can harvest plant material for plant fibers and plant string.
Early tools are built from flint: a Flint Axe gathers wood and makes a crafting table possible, while a Flint Pickaxe-style set of hoe and shovel covers the early game. A Macuahutil serves as an early weapon. Recipes for wooden and stone tools are removed, and the campfire is made from a starter item rather than its usual ingredients.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. The mod runs on client and server and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.15.2 – 1.20.1. Its code is open source under the MIT License.
