*Foundations* is an ultra-minimalist progression datapack designed under the Pareto Principle: applying minimal, surgical changes to transform 80% of the gameplay experience.

Instead of cluttering the game with hundreds of new items, *Foundations* recalibrates Minecraft's core mechanics to restore the weight of survival, the value of resources, and the dread of the dark present in the Alpha/Beta eras.

> ⚠️ Not for ultra-casual builders: Foundations is designed for players seeking a slower survival-first experience where every choice carries weight.

🏛️ The Five Core Pillars

一 Deepslate Age

Stone tools now require Deepslate. This pushes you deeper into the world for basic progression, making the transition out of the "Wood Age" a conscious, physical descent.

二 The Price of Light

No Free Lunch: Lighting up spaces permanently is no longer a "spam" mechanic, but a strategic decision. * No Free Lunch: Right-clicking most blocks with sticks has a chance to create temporary fire. * No Free Lunch: Campfires are crafted unlit.

三 Industrial Refinement

Blast Furnace Smelting full ingots is gated behind the Blast Furnace, giving a clear purpose to mid-tier machinery and technological progression.

四 Earned Rest

Beds require String and drop Wool when broken. Setting a spawn point is now an investment, not a convenience you can easily relocate every night.

五 Dynamic Hostility

glowing outline Attributes scale with your world's age, making every encounter unpredictable. * *Mercy:* Items dropped upon death emit a glowing outline when you are nearby.
