Tinker’s Newlife
by mofeng945
Tinker's Newlife is a Forge add-on for Tinkers' Construct that adds seven new weapons and ten new materials, with a Cthulhu Mythos theme.
What it does
The add-on expands Tinkers' Construct 3 for 1.20.1 with new weapons, materials, modifiers and a set of gameplay mechanics built around a Lovecraftian theme. Its content is tied into the Tinkers part system, the modifier system and material rendering, so new weapons can be assembled, enhanced and upgraded the same way as the vanilla Tinkers tools.
Its headline weapon is the Yo-Yo, built at a Crafted Tool Station from two yo-yo wheels and a spool with a bowstring. Right-clicking launches it forward up to 10 blocks. On a hit or at maximum range it hovers for three seconds, dealing damage every two ticks to anything it touches, and it returns to the player's main hand. Several yo-yos can be active at once. Durability use follows Unbreaking.
Curios API, Mantle and Tinkers' Construct are required. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files exist for Forge only, across six game versions, and the MIT License covers the code, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Seven new weapons
Seven weapons, among them a sword, a scythe and a glove, join the Tinkers toolset.
Yo-yo weapon
A flying yo-yo with a 3D model of two wheels and a central spool, drawn in the colours of its material, rolls toward its target and reverts to the main hand when it returns.
Ten new materials
Ten new Tinkers materials each carry their own stats, traits and sheet rendering colour.
Cthulhu-inspired events
Custom traits and modifiers form an event system inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos.

How it compares
Tinkers' Enchanting is a server-side add-on under the MIT License, open source, for Forge on the same game versions, so the server needs it and players may add it. Forbidden Tinkers is also Forge, open source under the MIT License, and needs both client and server. Tinkers' Weaponry is limited to 1.20.1 and runs on Forge and NeoForge, on client and server, under the MIT License and open source.
