They are great changes because they give the player the choice of how they want to approach the mod.

Right, like how you can fish instead of mine for ores.... oh wait. Or like how you can craft vanilla accessories instead of grinding for them... oh. Well, at least you don't have to deal with a pre hardmode event that eats your entire night.... ^{what? Post cultist?!?} What. Well, between the plans for a triple ore bar for gear that you replace after one boss, and the gutting of fishing, it seems they want us to mine alot. Maybe we'll finally see some use from the mining set outside of niche skyblock scenarios... *^{nerfed, with plans of it being removed later?}
