Heart and Stone: Vanilla Edition

Heart & Stone: Vanilla Edition

A vanilla-friendly overhaul of equipment progression. Better durability, cleaner tooltips, and a reworked early game. No new items, mobs, or blocks.

Installing this will convert all your existing gear to the pack’s stats permanently. Back up your world first.

Features

• Tools & armor last way longer – most items get 1.5x-6x their vanilla durability, so you don’t need Mending as much.
• Stone tools are no longer craftable – Copper tools take their place as the new early tier.
• Wooden tools got buffed to compensate – the wooden pickaxe can even mine copper ore now.
• Cleaner tooltips – with simple icons instead of vanilla’s clutter.
• Gold and leather armor are actually worth wearing now – gold reduces burning time, leather reduces fall damage.
• Gold tools also got a buff – they keep their naturally fast mining speed, attack noticeably faster than before, and no longer break after a few uses.
• Netherite hits much harder – stats reflect how much of a grind it is to get.

Installing as a Datapack

Drop the pack into your world’s datapacks folder and run /reload (or restart the world).

Note: Removing the pack later won’t undo the conversion – items keep their new stats either way.

For Minecraft 1.21.11 – 26.3
