Overview

Early Game Mod (often stylized as EARLYGAME) is a Fabric-based modification designed to bridge the gap between spawning in a new world and reaching the Iron Age. Inspired by classic mods like No Tree Punching and Natural Progression, it introduces a more immersive start where players must scavenge for materials on the forest floor, craft makeshift flint implements, and utilize copper as a legitimate early-game equipment tier.

The mod's primary goal is to remove the 'orthodox' gameplay of punching logs with bare hands, forcing players to interact with the environment in a way that feels more grounded and rewarding.
