JMG’s Better Than Ever BTE Mod (1.21.1) – Survive a Harsh World of Thirst

JMG’s Better Than Ever BTE Mod turns your normal survival game into a harsh challenge. It adds new needs like thirst and temperature that you must watch closely from the moment you spawn. The mod changes how you gather basic items, making simple tasks like chopping wood and mining stone much harder. You start with weak tools and must slowly work your way up to better gear.

Features:

• Harsh Survival: Adds thirst and body temperature systems that you must manage alongside your hunger.
• Tough Early Game: Makes starting out harder because simple tools are weak and basic blocks take more effort to break.
• Changes how you collect wood and stone, forcing you to plan your gathering trips carefully.
• Adds new metals like copper, bronze, and steel to craft stronger weapons and tools.
• Brings in machines like the sawmill and millstone to help you process items faster.
• Makes enemy mobs stronger and gives them better gear to fight you.
• Turns taming animals into a serious challenge instead of a quick task.
• Spawns new ores in the Nether that match the materials you find in the Overworld.
• Gives you new fuels and building blocks to decorate your safe spots.

How to Play:

1. Watch your new thirst and temperature bars as soon as you spawn into the world.
2. Find water quickly and stay out of extreme heat or cold to stay alive.
3. Gather basic materials slowly, as punching trees and mining stone works differently than normal.
4. Upgrade from weak starter tools to copper, then bronze, and finally steel.
5. Build machines like the sawmill to make your resource gathering easier over time.
