Betty's Overhauls

A grounded survival overhaul that slows progression, removes unnecessary UI systems, and makes the world feel more natural, harsh, and immersive.

This mod transforms Minecraft into a more primitive experience where resources must be processed before use, terrain feels realistic, and early survival focuses on exploration and adaptation instead of rushing tools.

Breaking logs drops Bark instead of full wood. Bark must be processed into usable wood before crafting. Dirt, sand, gravel, and stone drop raw fragments instead of full blocks. Combine fragments to create normal blocks. Overall mining and breaking speeds are slower for more deliberate progression. Slower, Meaningful Progression Early game advancement is intentionally slower and more survival-focused. Resources require preparation before they become useful. Encourages planning, exploration, and environmental awareness. Survival & UI Changes Hunger bar removed Experience and enchanting removed Survival difficulty comes from the world and progression, not UI micromanagement. Health System Health recovery is limited and more realistic. Resting (sleeping) becomes an important part of survival. World Generation Improvements More realistic terrain with varied elevation, hills, cliffs, and valleys. Less flat and repetitive landscapes. Increased biome diversity and natural transitions. Randomized Spawning Players spawn in random locations across the world. Encourages exploration and unique survival starts.
