Paleolithic Era

Early progression is built around a Knapping Station, where flint, bone and stone are shaped into the essential tools of the stage. A Fire Drill lights a flame, and a Crude Campfire lets players cook once ignition tools are in hand. Wooden and bone spears support hunting, and a harpoon fishing minigame handles catching fish. Forage covers wild plants such as elderberries and yarrow, which carry useful but risky effects, and gravel, sand, sticks and stones can be found in leaves and shrubs.

Stage-based advancements guide the path forward without spelling out each step, and the mod slows the early game to stretch the survival challenge. New fauna, including wild boars roaming forests, extends the hunting and crafting loops with meat and hide. The project is open source under the MIT License and is maintained with a public issue tracker and wiki.

Paleolithic Era needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, so both must be installed alongside it. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player run it, and the mod is published for 1.21.5 – 1.21.8, with 0.3.2 for 1.21.8 as the latest file.
