Electrostatic Tinker's Toys
by furtabs
Electrostatic Tinker's Toys is a Forge addon for Minecraft 1.12.2 that adds a new modifier using materials from Thermal Expansion.
What it does
The addon adds an electrostatic modifier, so tools and armor can take on properties drawn from Thermal Expansion materials. It also adds powered versions of Tinker's Tools for players who want energy-based tools in place of the standard ones. The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Electrostatic Tinker's Toys needs its dependencies installed next to it, since the new modifier draws on their materials. The mod runs on client and server, so every player and the server need it. Files are published for Forge only, and the only game version with a file is 1.12.2, with 1.0.1 as the latest file, released on 2020-10-28.
The codebase is based on an earlier electrostatic project by phantamanta44, and balancing follows a revived version of the original base as credited by boni. The mod also acknowledges mDiyo for the wider work it builds on.
Key features

Powered Tinker's Tools
Powered versions of Tinker's Tools are added, giving tool builds an energy-driven alternative to the standard set.
Open source codebase
The source is public on the project's repository, with an issue tracker for reporting bugs and requesting changes.
