Gather Basic Materials
Improvised weapons use everyday survival materials you already have. Start by collecting:
- Wooden planks (from trees)
- Nails or metal scraps (from mining or crafting)
- Basic tools or handles
These items combine into functional weapons that feel authentic to a survival setting.
Use Standard Crafting Recipes
All weapons in this mod follow normal Minecraft crafting mechanics—no special workbenches required. Open your crafting table and arrange materials according to the recipe. A wooden 
plank with nails, for example, becomes a deadly club suitable for early-game mob defense.
Progress Through Weapon Tiers
Start with simple improvised tools, then graduate to kitchen implements (dining knives, chef's forks) as you gather more refined materials. This natural progression mirrors your survival journey and keeps combat fresh as you advance. Each tier offers better damage and durability while maintaining the mod's balance—you'll never feel forced to use a weapon that trivializes encounters.
