# Minecraft Rebalance

Major and minor tweaks to Minecraft's recipes, loot tables and item data with progression as a high priority. This low-code Forge 1.20.1 mod is designed for a TBA modpack, but should function adequately in an otherwise vanilla server.

This mod does *not* change the difficulty of the game. 

## Vanilla changes

- Removes wooden tools, there is now only a wooden paxel
- Replaces stone tools with copper
- Removes diamond from the overworld and adds magma cream to diamond equipment recipes
- Pushes redstone to massive veins at the very bottom of the world (so we could increase gold/iron/lapis rates)
- Replaces diamonds in jukeboxes and enchanting tables with amethyst
- Diamonds now generate in the nether roof, in fortresses and in boulders in the basalt delta
- Netherite has been moved to the End and its damage and mining speed has been buffed to actually mean something
- Netherite has been renamed to Dendrite in accordance with its new position
- Changes every single lootpool to stop players skipping tiers so easily and reward them more for progression
- Adds a 4:1 conversion between hide and leather and makes leather armour craftable from hide

## Tinker's Construct

- Disables all tools and related molds (except battlesigns because funny) 
- Disables all slimelands (makes skyslime craftable from slime and a diamond)
- Disables cinderslime (we couldn't find a good place for it in the new progression)
- Adds every remaining Tinker's Construct material to Tetra

## To-Do

- Nerf Protection considerably (not its variants)
- Nerf Sharpness (not its variants)
- Remove the experience cost of enchanting with a table (not anvil)
- Increase overworld ore rates to fill in diamond/redstone gaps
- Start ancient debris generating in the End
- Weaken obsidian slightly
- Buff gold heavily to ~75% of diamond's durability, increasing other stats to just over iron (pushing up diamond and netherite)
- Add a new music disc, sure, why not
- Add two developer items
- Tweak the hammers in Tetra to reflect progression
- Replace the blackstone hammer with cobalt and the obsidian hammer with something (we have not decided what)
- Make minecarts fast
- New texture for the enchanting table
- I forgot slimewood and nahuatl lol
