Tinker and Better Combat

by castilio20

Tinker and Better Combat is a Forge compatibility bridge that lets Tinkers' Construct weapons use Better Combat attack animations.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Tinkers' Construct tools and weapons play the Better Combat animations when the two mods run together. The mod exists to make that pairing work, so weapons built with the tinkering system take on the combat animations instead of the default swing. Better Combat and Tinkers' Construct are both required, and the add-ons tinkers-things-json and tinkers-reforged are also supported.

Key features

  1. Tinkers' weapon animations

    Weapons built in Tinkers' Construct use the Better Combat attack animation rather than the standard swing.

  2. Better Combat integration

    Tinkers' Construct weapons are registered with Better Combat, so the animation system recognizes them.

  3. Add-on support

    The mod works with add-ons such as tinkers-things-json and tinkers-reforged, which extend the Tinkers' Construct content.
