Progression Reborn

by Rebel459

Progression Reborn reworks the early and mid-game of survival play, reshaping how copper, iron, gold and diamond gear and ores are obtained and upgraded.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.19 – 26.1.2

What it does

Copper gear comes before iron in this progression, and iron can be upgraded from copper at a smithing table. Gold can be upgraded from rose-based materials at the same table, and the new iron equivalent in gold is found only in specific places. Armor values are rebalanced, tools last longer, and armor trim duplication costs less.

Ore handling is also changed. Ore drops are rebalanced, raw and smelted ore nuggets are added, ore generation is tweaked, and whole raw ore blocks can be smelted at once. Two new enchantments are added to match the changed drops. Stone variants drop less than deepslate variants. The mod needs Cloth Config API, Trim Patcher and Unified API, and the two archived addons Progression Reborn Knives and Progression Reborn - Vanilla Crafting require it. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover 1.19 – 26.1.2 for Fabric and NeoForge, under a custom license.

Key features

  1. Copper before iron

    Copper gear is introduced ahead of iron, changing the order of the early tool and armor tiers.

  2. Smithing table upgrades

    Copper converts to iron and rose-based material converts to gold at a smithing table.

  3. Rebalanced combat and tools

    Armor values are adjusted and tools have improved durability compared with vanilla.

  4. Reworked ore economy

    Ore drops are rebalanced, raw and smelted ore nuggets are added, and whole raw ore blocks smelt at once.

  5. Rose building blocks

    A new set of rose building blocks is added, and rose ingots can serve as a trim material.
