harder begining

This mod reworks the early-game into a harsher, primitive survival experience with meaningful death consequences and a slowed progression curve.

Death Penalty System
On death, environmental setbacks are applied: placed torches will extinguish, forcing players to relight their surroundings and re-secure their base.
Torch Extinguishing Mechanic
Torches are no longer permanent light sources. Death can leave areas in darkness, increasing danger and requiring better planning for lighting and resource use.
Flint-Age Start
Players begin with primitive tools and must rely on flint-based progression before accessing standard crafting paths, extending and enriching the early game.
No Crafting Table Early Game
The crafting table is not immediately available. Basic progression must be achieved through alternative, low-tech methods, emphasizing survival and gradual advancement.

This mod is designed for players and modpack creators seeking a more challenging, grounded early-game experience with stronger survival pressure and progression depth.
