Config

#Config options BetterBeginnings' config file is found in [MinecraftDirectory]\config\betterbeginnings\betterbeginnings.cfg.

##General

• Always breakable: This is a list of block names which BetterBeginnings should always be breakable regardless of tool used, with vanilla mechanics. Each item should be in this format: ModID:BlockName. Defaults to empty.
• Debug logging: Setting this to true means that some console messages that are normally hidden will be shown. This does not affect chat messages. Defaults to false.
• Greet user: Shows a message in chat when logging into a world, verifying that BetterBeginnings is installed. Defaults to true.
• Module - Block breaking: This toggles the module for block breaking in BetterBeginnings. Setting this to false disables it, reverting back to vanilla block breaking mechanics. Defaults to true.
• Module - Campfire: This toggles the crafting recipe for the Campfire. This will make the beginning far tougher, as players will have no way to cook meat. Defaults to true.
• Module - Force Advance crafting: This toggles whether to remove recipes for vanilla items. Turning this off does not remove advanced crafting recipes, merely making them pointless. Defaults to true.
• Module - Infusion Repair: This toggles the crafting recipe for the Infusion Repair Station. This forces players to use the vanilla anvil for repairing items. Defaults to true.

##Infusion

• Health taken in diffusion (1.8 only): This is the total amount of health taken, in half-hearts, at the end of the diffusion process. Defaults to 16 (8 hearts).

##Mob Drops

• All bones: BetterBeginnings allows all mobs to drop bones when killed, not just skeletons. Ocelots and Chickens will drop bone shards instead, due to their size. Note that the More bones only works on peaceful setting means that this only happens on peaceful. Setting this to false means that only skeletons will ever drop bones, even in peaceful mode. Defaults to true.
• Flaming animals drop charred meat: In vanilla, when an animal is on fire when it dies, it drops the cooked form of its meat. This setting changes this to drop Charred Meat instead of cooked meat. Note that certain designs of automatic chicken farms will be invalidated by this setting. Defaults to true.
• More bones only works on peaceful: This setting makes extra bone drops from the All bones setting only occur in peaceful. Setting this to false means all mobs drop bones (or bone shards), regardless of difficulty. Note that if All bones is set to false, this setting has no effect. Defaults to true.
• Spiders drop string: BetterBeginnings replaces spiders' string drop with silk drops, which can be crafted into thread, and used in place of string. Vanilla string is instead crafted from wool. Setting this to true makes spiders also drop string.

##Other Crafting

• Advanced crafting for lots of things: This setting makes the recipes for various blocks and items use advanced crafting instead of vanilla crafting. A full list of the replaced recipes is available at the bottom of this page. Defaults to true.
• Enable chain armor: This setting adds a recipe for chain armor, using iron nuggets in vanilla crafting. Defaults to true.
• Remove crafted food recipes: This setting removes crafting recipes for foods normally crafted in the vanilla crafting table, forcing the player to use the brick oven instead.
• Remove wooden tool recipes: This setting removes crafting recipes for wooden tools, to enforce early-game progression using the flint knife, flint hatchet, and then bone pickaxe. Setting this to false without disabling the block breaking mechanic severely harms progression. Defaults to true.
• requireBlazePowderForDiamondPick: Set this to true to make the diamond pick require blaze powder as a catalyst like other diamond tools. This will require the player to go to the Nether first, which can be very difficult without a diamond pick. If netherlessBlazePowderRecipe is set to true, the player will have an alternate recipe for crafting their first few blaze powder, so a Nether trip will not be required. Defaults to true.
• netherlessBlazePowderRecipe: Set this to true to have the mod add a recipe for blaze powder that does not require a trip to the Nether. The recipe will be very expensive, though, and not practical. Defaults to true.

##Smelting

• Allow campfire to use all kiln recipes: This setting allows the campfire to do all the things a kiln can, including smelt cobblestone into stone, bake bricks, and fire glass, as well as the usual campfire recipes. Defaults to false.
• Disable vanilla smelting: This setting removes all smelting recipes for the vanilla furnace, forcing the player to use BetterBeginnings furnaces. If Only remove smelting recipes for vanilla items is true, this will not affect smelting recipes that result in mod items. Defaults to true.
• Only remove smelting recipes for vanilla items: This setting ensures that only smelting recipes for vanilla items are removed by Disable vanilla smelting. Setting this to false means that all smelting recipes that use the vanilla furnace will be removed, which will likely cause compatibility issues. Defaults to true.
• Smelter can make kiln products: This setting allows the smelter to do all the things a kiln can, much like Allow campfire to use all kiln recipes. Gravel is not required for recipes loaded here. Defaults to false.

##Tweaks

• Make stuff stackable: Makes certain items in vanilla that are not stackable, but should be (potions, doors in 1.7, minecarts) stackable to 16. Defaults to true.
• No damage on wrong block breaking: When breaking a block with your hands in BetterBeginnings when the block requires a tool, you will take damage. This can cause problems with mods that use fake players to break blocks and do so "in the player's name". This setting disables this damage, though it may not entirely get block breakers to work properly. Defaults to false.

##Worldgen

• Generate marshmallows: This setting allows raw marshmallows to generate as chest loot. However, wordgen code is quite cryptic, and is very difficult to test. Until marshmallows are found in all the locations they should be found, this setting could be doing absolutely nothing. Note that marshmallows are also craftable as of 0.9.3. Defaults to true.
