Better Punching

This Minecraft mod fundamentally changes the block breaking mechanics, making it more realistic and logical.

Main Features

When punching blocks with bare hands, you won't be able to harvest them but will only take damage. At the beginning of the game, it's impossible to break wood with fists - you'll need a stone axe for that. Attempting to break a block without the proper tool will result in an endless breaking process without any result. Glass blocks of any type now break instantly and cause serious damage when destroyed with bare hands. Also added the ability to sharpen flint by right-clicking on stone blocks to create tools from it.

Development Purpose

The mod was created for fans of realistic modpacks who want to make the gameplay more believable. Since breaking blocks is the main action players perform throughout the game, this mechanic has been completely redesigned.

Advantages

Although there are other mods with similar functionality, Better Punching stands out for its simplicity and minimalism. It's designed as an extremely lightweight solution without unnecessary features, ensuring high compatibility with any modpacks.

Compatibility

The mod is fully compatible with any modifications that properly register their tools through blockHarvestType, and blocks through appropriate blockTags and harvestToolTypes. Tested to work with Dynamic Trees and many other mods for version 1.16.5.

Development Plans

Future updates plan to add a configuration file for mod parameter settings, as well as an option to completely remove wooden and stone tools for maximum realism.
