Flint Required

Experience a more authentic start to survival with primitive tools, realistic progression, and meaningful resource gathering.

Flint Required removes hand-punching trees and rebuilds early gameplay around crafting with flint, fibers, and natural materials. Earn every advancement and feel the weight of real survival.

🪨 Primitive Survival Start

  • You can’t break logs with bare hands anymore.
  • Gather natural resources and gradually progress.
  • Early gameplay becomes immersive, challenging, and rewarding.

🔧 Flint Toolset

  • Smash Flint on Stone to create Flint Shards.
  • Craft tool heads with them and assemble primitive axes, pickaxes, knives, and more.
  • Requires Flint Head + Plant Fiber + Sticks.

🌿 Gathering Reworked

  • Plant Fiber drops from grasses (100% with a Flint Knife).
  • Crude Brush turns Gravel into Flint reliably.
  • Saplings can be crafted into Sticks.

🔥 Progress With Purpose

  • Stone tools require actual Stone, not cobble.
  • Cook Cobblestone on a Campfire to obtain Stone.
  • Use Stone to craft a primitive Furnace and continue progressing.

Flint Required brings back the struggle, effort, and satisfaction of early survival—without breaking vanilla balance. Are you ready to earn your first tool?
