Stone Age (1.13+) v1.1
Wood pickaxe. Stone pickaxe. Iron pickaxe. Iron tools, iron armor.
You always reach the iron tier within the first 5 minutes of gameplay.
So with this datapack, I've made the following few major changes to the tier system:
Furnace Smelting
I recommend to add a rotten-flesh-smelts-to-leather datapack!
https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/leather-from-smelting-rotten-flesh/
The aim of this datapack was to give stone tools and leather armor some relevancy in the game as an early tier grade, and kind of like how a wood pickaxe is a stepping stone to the stone pickaxe: similarly 5 iron ingots is a precursor to crafting the mid-game blast furnace.
The lore/logic is that, regular furnaces can't properly extract ingots from ores, though you still can: 45 iron ores for 5 ingots for the blast furnace. This prompts players to explore structures for loot chests for those 5 iron ingots. Then, you will really feel the satisfaction of reaching the mid-game tier as you assemble the pieces for a blast furnace.
I realize this only affects the first 30 minutes of gameplay. But I think it's for the better, if you want an early game challenge!
I'd love to hear your feedback and experiences in the comments :) Enjoy the datapack!
Note: I've thoughts of crafting chain mail armor with iron nuggets, as a precursor to iron armor before they reach 45 nuggets for the iron age. This would be an excellent transition from leather to chain to iron. But the iron nugget to iron ingot ratio does not match the chain mail armor to iron armor ratio. Thoughts?

Furnace Smelting
- Iron ore smelts into one iron nugget per ore in a furnace.
- Gold ore smelts into one gold nugget per ore in a furnace.
- Furnace smelting times and experience drops are still the same.
- Use a blast furnace to get ingots as normal, at double speed. Or should it be at regular speed?
- Emerald ore smelts into one stone per ore in a furnace.
- Diamond ore smelts into one stone per ore in a furnace.

can you update this for 1.20.1? I have been trying to either do it myself or make my own Datapack, but i just am not able to. Could you please do it?
If that doesn't work, you can play around with https://minecraft.tools/en/custom-crafting.php# to make your own recipe data pack!
Glad to see you found this interesting, still!
It really does add an extra 'tier' between stone and iron and that's awesome! I played with this datapack once and couldn't go back to vanilla, it just felt 'better'. Early game didn't end in 5 minutes instead it fleshed out and I had a few hours of being underequipped to fight mobs and had to panic and rush to build a house. Caves were suddenly really scary! 10/10 Would and did play again.
I personally find the blast furnace output of one ingot fairly well balanced! You don't want to be short on iron late-game and making it less would only make late-game even more grindy. Just my thoughts.
Out of curiosity, what was the thinking behind diamond and emeralds smelting into stone? Were you trying for a more 'realistic' rendering of what would happen if you put diamond ore into a furnace irl?
Not picking holes just curious. :]
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this pack, since I notice that these more 'grounded' and vanilla-esque datapacks don't get a lot of attention. Thanks for sharing!
Ah about that smelting into stone part. Lemme just try to remember what 2020 me was thinking. iirc, it's like. In a furnace, iron ore and gold ore smelt into nuggets instead of ingots. So was I trying to keep the downgrading consistent for other ores as well? I'm really not sure. It's really such a weird add-on that kind of dilutes the main idea HAHAHA but we live and we learn ig.
Thank you for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it :)
I think blast furnace should not create ingot, but may be -2-3 nuggets =)
