Tinkers' Things

by KnightMiner

Adding halberds, shortbows, blowpipes, laminar armor and a hematite tool material, this Forge and NeoForge addon extends the Tinkers' Construct tool set.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The addon needs Tinkers' Construct to run, and it works through the Json Things mod, which lets item, fluid, block, creative tab and harvest tier definitions live in JSON files rather than Java classes. The source code on GitHub contains no Java code, and the project is open source under the MIT License.

The mod has two stated purposes: a survival-friendly set of new tools and armor that can be played as a normal progression path, and a working reference for people who want to write Tinkers' Construct datapacks or addons without Java. Its examples cover tool materials, casting and melting recipes, tool definitions, tool tags, modifiers and Tinker Station slot layouts, along with resource pack parts such as tool models, modifier icons and material textures.

Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.3.4 for 1.20.1 as the latest release. Tinkers' Things runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Installation requires Tinkers' Construct build 3.6.1 or newer alongside Json Things, which is available outside Modrinth at the moment.

Key features

  1. Halberds and shortbows

    Halberd melee tools and shortbow ranged weapons join the Tinkers' Construct tool set.

  2. Blowpipes and chisels

    Blowpipes and chisels are added as tools with their own part and modifier setup.

  3. Hematite tool material

    A custom hematite material is cast from a fluid and can be used to build new tools and armor.

  4. Laminar armor

    Laminar armor pieces give a set of new armor options for players working through the tools.

  5. Large repair kits

    Larger repair kits restore durability on Tinkers' Construct tools, and shovels are included among the new tools.

This is made possible through the mod Json Things, which allows you do add custom items, fluids, blocks, creative tabs, and harvest tiers through JSON files. This mod serves two purposes…
