Inspired by the video The problem with simulating society in Minecraft - YouTube, this data pack makes survival more challenging and aims to encourage collaboration through the slow beginnings.

Current changes and additions include:
🧾 Crafting recipes: Recipes only appear in your book after you've crafted them manually.
🌱 Growth slowdown: Random tick speed reduced to one-third of the vanilla rate, making plant growth noticeably slower.
🌙 Terraria like beds: Instead of instantly skipping the night, they speed it up.
😠 Angered mobs: Even after killing you, they won't forget.
💧 Finite water sources: Water no longer duplicates itself from nearby sources.
❄️ Snow behavior: Snow layers can stack above full blocks, changing terrain subtly over time.
🪦 Random respawn: Each death respawns you somewhere new, far from familiarity.
🔥 Slower smelting/cooking: Food and ores take 4 to 6 times longer, depending on the method.
🏘️ Village scarcity: Villages are smaller, rarer, and often plagued. Only 25% remain unzombified.
🧱 Reworked crafting stations: Crafting tables now require flint and leather, furnaces bricks, and beds feathers and leather.
⚒️ New toolsets: Added flint, copper, bronze, brass and steel tools and weapons.

🌾 Biome-based farming: Crops now drop from specific plants.
🥕 Meaningful crops: Each crop has a 10% chance of backfiring into a poisonous version.
🌽 Serious dedication: Farming-related blocks won't drop their full version unless they are broken with a hoe or intended tool.
🪓 Tool overhaul: Crafting tools nor requires a handle (leather) and string. Metalic tools also require waxing (honeycomb, resin clumbs, slime or zinc ingots)
🎲 Loot table overhauls: Certain items will only drop if mined with the right tool (Eg. Logs)
🍗Variet diets: Make sure to eat nutrients, proteins and carbohydrates if you don't want to get debuffed or even die. But don't overdo it!
💧Hydration: Don't forget to drink water!

⛏️New ores: Added tin, sulfur and zinc ores


This pack is meant to be played slowly. Hasty actions may lead to harsh consequences.

COMAPTIBILITY: 1.21.5 - 1.21.8

Oh! I think I'll add a guide some time soon. Meanwhile, I've added the general shape for crafting recipes to the gallery.
You may want to know that bronze ingots come from smelting Bronze powder, crafted with 3 raw copper, 1 raw tin and 1 charcoal. Brass works the same way, just crafted with 2 raw copper, 1 raw zinc and 1 charcoal.

I'm sorry to hear that. I just tested it, and it's working fine for me. The issue might be related to the game version or whether the resource pack was installed properly. Make sure you are using Minecraft 1.21.5 to 1.21.7 and that you've added the resource pack in the settings. Happy to help if you need a hand!
