Tough Environment

Tough Environment is a mod that overhauls how most blocks in the world break and how the player interacts with them. Slower early game and a more fletched out progressions of tools in the beginning provide the player with an interesting challenge.

## List of Features:

### Added: Copper & Netherite Nuggets! Stone Brick Item Block of Clay (because the vanilla clay block has been changed) Chisel Items Loose Blocks variants for most stone blocks & Loose Dirt. Slab block variants for those blocks as well Placeable raw ore items as blocks Mortaring mechanic for loose stone type blocks Sound cues when breaking certain blocks for more immersion

Configuration Settings in Mod Menu for: Hardcore Mining Speed (slower overall speed) Block Breaking Restrictions - Makes blocks unbreakable if the player is not using the correct tool Stratification Toughness - Makes some blocks that are considered higher strata than stone level blocks require higher level pickaxes to mine effectively

### Changed:

Most blocks in the world drop lesser loot instead of full blocks when harvested with an improper tool Stone Blocks in the world break in layers when mined with a primitive tool Primitive tools (stone & wooden types) have reduced durability Changed Clay block generation with a new custom "Dirt Clay" block Flint and Steel, Compass & Bucket's recipes now require nuggets instead of ingots * Clock recipe changed to require gold nuggets instead of ingots & quartz instead of redstone
