Neolithic for Minecraft

Review Neolithic

Neolithic

A mod about prehistoric times in Minecraft. The thing that vanilla survival lacks so much, and that various mod creators are trying hard to add – the naturalness. This mod is mostly about various primitive-style traps, stone and bone tools, loot, and crafting. And of course, a bit of magic, because rituals on stones are exactly what ancient people used to bring rain for their crops. Well, that’s what the mod authors think.

Another thing the mod adds is rock art – a pleasant decoration for your cave.

Traps

You can use the grass cut with scissors to craft a special grass trap and decorate your base with it, making it far more impregnable. This trap’s peculiarity is that mobs firmly believe that they have a full-fledged block in front of them. They approach it and… fall into a pit you dug. You can put Pointed Dripstones on the pit bottom or don’t put anything and just accumulate mobs there.

The second trap is not for enemies, but for getting food. This is a fish trap, which opens new horizons for fishing. Set the trap in the water and wait until it becomes full of fish.

Weapons

Before learning to use metals, ancient man crafted primitive weapons from bones and sticks. The mod suggests following the same path. Now, you can use bones to craft a rather good sword with +6 damage, as well as a full set of tools. Their only drawback is durability. It’s a little inferior to what you may like.

Long-range weapons in the mod include a spear. Its mechanics are similar to the vanilla trident, but its damage is much lower, so if your spear isn’t enchanted to return, make a few of them to make the battle more comfortable.

A baton – is another primitive and rather powerful weapon added by the mod. It gives +8 damage, which is similar to the vanilla Netherite sword with much cheaper crafting, which allows you to make a baton at any stage of development. But it has a severe debuff as well – the 0.4 attack speed makes this weapon incredibly slow – so, strike for sure.

Rituals

To perform magic rituals, you’ll need a special pedestal. Craft it and install it next to your vegetable garden.

Next, put gifts to your ancient gods on the pedestal and just wait. The idea of the ritual is that it accelerates the plants’ growth by 25%. The effect lasts 7 days sharp, after which you’ll have to repeat the ritual with the gifts. This is simple prehistoric magic that helps in agriculture.
