Did I say too hard? Nope. It's still very easy, just significantly harder in vanilla (doesn't actually make it hard, just harder). Also I don't use exploits for fighting the wither, it's not fun that way.
It's in TPPI and I can say it gives Reliquary a real sense of belonging and balance. I feel some other mods would benefit from this too (namely Blood Magic).
I would second starting a new world.
Also try TPPI, easily the best pack on the launcher. Just put into private packs "MegaSharkPunch" and you'll access TPPI.
Try outputting into a chest and using itemducts to put them in the induction furnace. Or just create a pulverizer, autocraft into dusts then autocraft into blend, then autocraft into the furnace.
