The purpose of the Back to Basics Addon (1.21, 1.20) is to introduce more manual crafting items instead of relying solely on automatic processing. The focus is primarily on sky block gameplay, with an option to create a string from dirt that isn’t overpowered. This addon emphasizes blocks over entities and is best suited for pre-machinery era gameplay.

  • Bumble’s_Crops
  • More Foods
