Details
Revamped Progression is a mod/datapack that rebalances the early-game of Minecraft, while adding many QOL progression-focused recipes.
Want to expand 1.20's new smithing template / armor trim system with Revamped Progression? Check out Reimagined Trims here - it's a standalone counterpart to Revamped Progression that overhauls smithing trim and upgrade template recipes.
Revamped Progression does not require modded Minecraft to function and can run on vanilla clients - it is only required to be installed as a mod (Fabric/Forge) or datapack (Vanilla) server-side.

Host your own Server
If you're interested in playing Minecraft (with or without my mods) with your friends, I recommend you take a look at Kinetic Hosting!. For 5GB ram, they charge under $13USD a month for Performance, and under $6 for Budget, not including my discount code! I personally use their performance servers, and their specs, price, support and easy-to-use panel are the best of all the hosts I've been with. In addition, you can use code LEGACY for 15% off your first month!
More Info
Yes, I am partnered with them (and a member of their feedback team), but as an already-existing customer of them (and have paid and still pay for their servers myself), I can legitimately say they're great, regardless of whether I'm partnered with them. They're just genuinely good, I know the support team, they're super friendly and quick. The server specs are as good as you can get, and importantly, they aren't overpriced, unlike other hosts - in fact, they're less than half the price of quite a few big competitors I've seen around here, with no downside! If you need a server, these guys truly know what you're doing, and will respect your wallet when they do it. If you buy a server through my link, you even help support my work!
