ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The mod supplies its materials as a material pack for Tinkers' Construct, which is required and must be installed separately. Tinkers' Construct supplies the tool and part system, so the materials here become usable in it once both mods are present. Ore generation textures are also changed by the mod.

Metallic Tinkering is published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 only, with version 1.5.0 as the latest file on both loaders. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The first release came out on 2025-07-19, and the latest update on 2026-09-08.

Key features

  1. Ten ores and seven alloys

    The mod adds 10 ores and 7 alloys, for a total of 15 materials usable in Tinkers' Construct.

  2. Materials for tool parts

    Existing materials can be set up to support other tool parts, so a metal such as aluminum is not limited to bows and armor.

  3. Custom materials

    The mod supports adding custom materials, and future materials are planned as Tinkers' Construct makes them available.

  4. Armor trim compatibility

    The materials work with the armor trim system in the game.
