Extended Tinker

by VocalSky

Extended Tinker is a Forge addon for the tinkering mod, adding armor for horses, golems and dragons, plus a tool that fires firework rockets for tinkered bows.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

The addon expands the tinkering system into corners of Minecraft the base mod leaves untouched. It adds horse armor that protects a mounted horse, metal armor and weapons for Modular Golems, and dragon armor crafted through a special method tied to the Ice and Fire mod. The base mod is required, and the addon is built as an extension of its modular tool system.

Extended Tinker also includes a tool action that lets tinkered bows shoot firework rockets with a custom modifier. The addon targets the third major release of the base mod and introduces several uncommon tools, some of which serve no practical purpose yet. It runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, on both client and server, and is released under the MIT License without being open source.

Key features

  1. Horse armor

    Armor pieces that protect a horse while it is ridden or stabled, built with the tinkering system.

  2. Golem armor and weapons

    Metal armor and weapons for Modular Golems, extending their gear beyond the base mod.

  3. Dragon armor

    Armor for dragons from the Ice and Fire mod, produced through a special crafting method.

  4. Firework bow action

    A tool action that makes tinkered bows fire firework rockets, with a custom modifier to enable it.

  5. Uncommon tools

    A set of tools that go beyond the usual options, with more planned in later versions.
