Embers Construct
by Peatral
Embers Construct is a Forge equipment mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 that adds tool materials to the smeltery workflow, using Embers metals.
What it does
The mod adds new tool materials that can be used besides Wrought Iron, so tools and armor can be built from Embers metals instead. It is a companion to the Tinkers family of add-ons, and players who already use Constructs Armory, Tinkers Compendium, Total Tinkers or Tinkers Evolution will find the new materials alongside their existing ones.
Smeltery recipes are adjusted rather than removed wholesale. The mod can remove individual Tinkers' Smeltery recipes, which lets it substitute its own alloying steps, and Table Casting handles the casting step where alloying recipes would otherwise give too little fluid to be transferred. Basin Casting and Tinkers Complement are listed among the supported add-ons, and the author notes that recipes added in other ways may need separate handling.
Embers Construct requires Forge and runs on the client and server, so the server and every player need it. The source code is published under the MIT License and the project is open source. Files are published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with 1.3.5 as the latest file, released 2022-07-31 on the beta channel.
Key features
Embers tool materials
Tool and armor materials made from Embers metals, offered as alternatives to Wrought Iron.
Individual smeltery recipe removal
Specific Tinkers' Smeltery recipes can be removed, so the smeltery stays enabled while the replacement steps take over.
Table Casting for alloys
Table Casting covers the alloying steps that carry too little fluid for a smeltery transfer, and avoids breaking other Tinkers add-ons.
Compatibility with Tinkers add-ons
Support for a range of Tinkers add-ons, including Basin Casting and Tinkers Complement, with more support planned.

How it compares
Tinkers' Addons(Fork) with Mod Support is a Forge 1.12.2 add-on under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source, so it carries the same copyleft terms as the GPL family. Smeltery IO is also Forge 1.12.2 and client and server, but it is not open source and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license. Tinkers' Enchanting targets 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and is server required with client optional, so it does not overlap with this 1.12.2 build.

What the author says
Inspired by this lovely mod (and this is also the resource for the textures). This mod does NOT add new tool materials besides Wrought Iron. If you want to use use fancy dawnstone stuff, use Pewter.
