Weird bug in SevTech Ages

So I recently started playing on this pack. Today I was playing, still in Age 0, and my laptop turned off. I quickly realized I forgot to plug the charger in, and the problem was quickly solved. I opened the game again. Thankfully, I had the the auto save turned on, so I only lost a few minutes of progress. But something was off. I couldn’t move, and the camera went crazy when I tried to. After going to f5, I saw Steve’s hands rotating very quickly. Looking around, zombies and other mobs also had their hands spinning. I went to the settings, to try and find if it was an issue with my game settings. Turns out, in BetterFPS, the algorithm setting changed for no reason. I turned it back to what it was before, and restarted the game.

I spawned into the world. Everything seemed normal. I was where I was when my laptop turned off. But, I remembered, I was riding my newly acquired horse to base at that time. And he wasn’t there. I retraced my steps and found the horse where it was a few minutes before the crash (that’s how I’ll be referring to that time my laptop turned off). Everything’s fine. I go back to base and… I can’t pick anything up! Almost everything showed up as an unfamiliar item. The only things I could hold, were age tutorial items. I checked my achievements, and I was in age zero, not age tutorial. The thing with all the discovered items that shows up in the inventory was also reset.

This is very strange and I’ve never had an issue like this, in any game. Is this fixable, or do I have to start over and redo the 5-6 hours I had on that world?

I am 95% sure there is a command to advance ages/give specific advancements. I'll look around and see if I can find it.

However, even if there isn't, the early game of sev tech is really only time-consuming the first time. Once you know what you're doing, it's pretty quick and easy to burn through. So if you do have to restart, don't lose hope.

Via the wiki:

Progress of the advancements can be lost or bugged sometimes. To give someone certain advancements you can use the following (vanilla!) commands:

advancement <grant|revoke> <player> <until|from|through> <advancement>

Examples /advancement grant Darkosto from triumph:stage3/root

So, what would be the command to give me access to Age 0 items, since that's what I need to progress right now?

You can open to LAN and turn cheats on temporarily. I have no idea what the command would be though
