Rough Beginnings

Initial release

Combines a heavily modified version of EarlyStage with Never Punching Trees, plus original additions.

Verified in play

• Tested in Ultimate Create Server (Create-based modpack on NeoForge 1.21.1) alongside Immersive Weathering, Salt (NeoForge port), Still Life, JEI, and AppleSkin.
• Rocks generate across every overworld biome — vanilla and modded — via #minecraft:is_overworld.
• Hand-breaking restriction governed by the rough_beginnings:breakable block tag and rough_beginnings:canbreak item tag (both customizable via datapack).
• Sieve uses composter-style probabilistic processing (~40% advancement chance per click). Right-click to insert a sieveable block, then keep right-clicking to advance — no rock required.
• Crafting Rock accepts any vanilla crafting recipe, no whitelist.
• Throwable rocks: 2 damage on hit, 85% drop / 15% shatter on impact.
• Plant fiber drops from short grass / tall grass / fern / large fern at vanilla-feeling rates (10–15%); craft 1 fiber into 2 plant string.
• Death is fully vanilla — no inventory preservation or beginner-mode mechanic.
• See changelog.md for the full feature list and what was kept, modified, or cut from each upstream.
