TAIGA 2 (Tinkers alloying addon port)
by SpaceXVI
TAIGA 2 is a Tinkers' Construct alloying addon, ported to Forge for Minecraft 1.16.5, adding alloy recipes and related content to that mod.
What it does
Installing TAIGA 2 extends Tinkers' Construct with alloying content, and Tinkers' Construct is required. The addon was ported to 1.16.5 as a stable build, and a later update fixed missing content and fluid physics. Its author notes that some traits are only partly compatible with Tinkers' Construct 3, and that re-worked traits may behave differently.
The mod is published for Forge only, with a single release, 1.16.5-2.0.0 for 1.16.5, dated 2023-03-31. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public, so players can report bugs or help fix them.

What the author says
So, after months of tiresome work, I have finally did it! I made a quite stable port of TAIGA! There used to be quite a lot of missing content but I fixed that in my recent update, I only have to fix fluid physics, some spawning issues and add traits, maybe even balance this mod since a lot of people were complaining…
