ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The mod extends Tinkers' Construct with two major machines and a set of ritual-based systems. The first, Hypnagogic Transmute, is a machine for switching between smelting paths, with its structure drawn from alchemy. The second, the Selenic Astrolabe, is a lunar structure drawn from astrology. Its input slots accept 8 items plus 1 fluid, and it outputs 1 item and 1 fluid. Structures of this kind generate naturally at high elevations in the Overworld.

The mod can also generate Tinkers' Construct parts from a material ID, a part category and a part type, so tool heads and similar components can be produced from a chosen material. A ritual dagger lets a player injure themselves in exchange for temporary effects like Resistance, Haste and Strength.

Tinkers' Construct and Mantle are required, so both must be installed for the mod to load. Ars Nouveau is optional; when present, its Enchanting Apparatus recipes let players add modifiers to Tinkers' Construct tools in an Ars-style crafting process, consuming modifier slots and a Source cost. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files target 1.20.1 only, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
