When playing a world in expert mode, [[harvesting]] produces less resources (including products from [[tree]]s and [[Category:Plant|plants]]) and [[crafting]] tends to require more, although this is partially compensated by an increase in the abundance of deposits of all kinds. [[Gold Chest|Gold chests]] do not spawn under [[beach]]es, only in [[cave]]s, and are ''less'' common. And, as is normal with custom worlds, the [[Portal Chest|portal chest]] is unavailable. | When playing a world in expert mode, [[harvesting]] produces less resources (including products from [[tree]]s and [[Category:Plant|plants]]) and [[crafting]] tends to require more, although this is partially compensated by an increase in the abundance of deposits of all kinds.

Some of the changes can be adjusted using custom rules, such as [[Teleport Here|teleportation]] requiring a diamond [[portal]], [[meditation]] being blocked, attacks and [[hunger]] doubled in effect, and [[tool]]s wearing out at half the rate (unless misused, including non-weapons being used to attack). | Some of the changes can be adjusted using custom rules, such as [[Teleport Here|teleportation]] requiring a diamond [[portal]], [[meditation]] being blocked, attacks and [[hunger]] doubled in effect, and [[tool]]s wearing out at half the rate (unless misused, including non-weapons being used to attack). | ||

In addition to significant changes in the recipes for crafting, expert mode imposes a clear progression through the [[Crafting Surface|crafting surfaces]] by adding levels between every item on a [[workbench]]. Further restriction exists in that a [[Trade Portal|trade portal]] cannot be crafted without a diamond portal and many level-ups on all crafting surfaces require a [[gem]] as an ingredient. The result can be seen in the following list: | In addition to significant changes in the recipes for crafting, expert mode imposes a clear progression through the [[Crafting Surface|crafting surfaces]] by adding levels between every item on a [[workbench]].
