Simple Survival Extension
by BahStrada
Simple Survival Extension adds new weapons and tools in the style of vanilla Minecraft, aimed at players who want more gear as they explore and progress.
What it does
The mod adds weapons and tools that match the original Minecraft look, so they sit alongside vanilla items without changing the feel of the game. Its goal is to give exploration a reason and to keep difficulty rising as a player moves through a world, instead of leaving the player bored once the early gear runs out.
Simple Survival Extension requires EMI and Geckolib, so both must be installed alongside it. The mod is built with MCreator and runs on Forge and NeoForge; the notes state that it also works with other mod loaders. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Original-style weapons
New weapons are drawn to fit the look of vanilla items, so they do not clash with the game's aesthetics.
Extra tools
Tools added by the mod extend the item set for mining, building and getting around.
Progression support
Added gear is meant to keep difficulty climbing as players explore further into a world.
