Progression Reshuffled
Progression Reshuffled reworks the early and middle stages of Minecraft by changing how tools, mobs and the Smithing Upgrade Template progress, for Fabric on 1.21.11.
What it does
The mod's main focus is reworking Minecraft's progression: the tool tiers are made more linear, mobs are rebalanced to put up more challenge than vanilla, and the early game is meant to feel more engaging while the End keeps its place as the endpoint. The author describes the aim as a friendly alternative to raising a game's difficulty through higher damage alone.
Tool durability and speed values are tweaked, but only the speed of tools changes against blocks; what blocks can break stays the same as in vanilla. The author also notes that Netherite is obtained instead of the Smithing Upgrade Template, which needs Netherrack to place, and that Endanium uses End Stone as a stopgap until an Enderite upgrade is made. Stack limits for several items are raised in steps, from 1 stack at 64 up to 48 stacks at 3072.
Progression Reshuffled requires Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric alone, with the alpha build labeled as the latest release for 1.21.11. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Linear tool progression
The tool tiers are reordered into a more linear path, so each material follows the previous one in sequence.
Rebalanced mobs
Mob strength is adjusted so encounters offer more challenge than in vanilla, without raising damage across the board.
Reworked Smithing upgrades
Netherite is obtained instead of the Smithing Upgrade Template, and Endanium uses End Stone as a temporary stand-in for the Enderite upgrade.
Stack size changes
Stack limits rise in steps for several items, from 1 stack at 64 to 48 stacks at 3072, with the 1536 step closest to vanilla.
