Superflat Survival
by Bananapantz
Superflat Survival is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that changes how a superflat world is played, starting from a flat world with no generated structures.
What it does
Superflat Survival gives a superflat world a survival path: a player gets resources by bonemealing dirt into saplings, pulling up carpet for string-like items, and cooking cobblestone in lava. The author describes it as a slower way to play Minecraft that replaces the usual structure-driven progression. Polymorph is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest Forge file, released 2023-10-01, under All rights reserved and not open source.

Crafting through everyday actions
Bonemealing dirt, pulling up carpet and smelting with lava give the first materials a player needs.
Slower pace of play
Progression is built around gathering basics by hand instead of finding dungeons and villages.
