Replace cobblestone tools with smooth stone

Make the wooden tier last slightly longer by only allowing stone tools to be crafted with smooth stone. Players will have to first create a furnace and smelt their cobblestone using wood as fuel to create smooth stone. Then they will be able to use the smooth stone to create a stone pickaxe and finally be able to mine iron ore.

    One thing about this idea; Picture this: you are mining up, trying to get out of a cave, with a torch at your feet, of course, but then, kachunk! Your pick breaks, you only have enough wood on you for a crafting table and some sticks, and you used all your coal on the torches, and all you have is cobblestone, and your only burnable materials is the crafting table and sticks you have on you, which you would need anyway for the pick, so, no help there. Your only hope now is to handmine to the surface and hope it doesn't take too long.

    Doesn't really add much, considering it would only make stone tools last 30-100 seconds longer depending on how complete a set you make. 30 seconds if you only make a pick and get iron straight away, which is quite easy.
