Tulip Tweaks
by McMarmaj
Tulip Tweaks, a small Equipment and Adventure mod, changes several early-game recipes and progression steps around copper, iron nuggets and sand.
What it does
Early progression shifts toward copper: stone tools are swapped for copper versions, so players reach the same stage with a different material. Chainmail armor becomes craftable from iron nuggets and ingots, and powered rails use copper in place of gold. Sand can be ground down through a stonecutter, giving another route to the materials it yields.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it installed. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 1.21.4 only, with 0.1 as the single file on every loader. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Copper early tools
Early tools are replaced by copper equivalents, reshaping the start of a survival world.
Iron chainmail recipe
Chainmail armor can be crafted from iron nuggets and ingots, giving an alternative path to the armor.
Copper powered rails
Powered rails are made from copper instead of gold, changing the redstone and minecart material cost.
Stonecutter sand grinding
Sand can be processed at a stonecutter, so materials are broken down without extra machinery.

Who it’s for: Players who want small recipe changes in survival or adventure worlds, on single-player clients and multiplayer servers that run 1.21.4.
