Simple ? Survival
by Apocalypse
Simple ? Survival is a Forge equipment mod for 1.20.1 that adds early-stage tools, weapons and armor made from materials players reach before the late game.
What it does
The mod targets the early survival stage, when materials such as glass, wooden doors and leather are available but cannot yet handle harder threats. Its added tools include glass tools, weapons crafted from doors, and an iron-door weapon that players can use in combat. A faster route to ancient debris is also included, so players can reach netherite sooner.
The item set covers a broad group of early items, and the author notes that some ways of using the tools are explained in game. Because the mod is built for Forge, it needs the matching loader and the 1.20.1 game version. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.5 as the latest file from 2025-02-27, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
