Armor, Tools, and Weapons Tinker's Construct

Cover Image

Tinkers' Things is an addon for Tinkers' Construct that contains no Java code (if you do not believe me, check the GitHub source). 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:

  • It is a fully playable survival friendly Tinkers' Construct addon adding a lot of new tools and armor to the mod.
  • It serves as an example for those wishing to create Tinkers' Construct datapacks and no-Java code addons.

Playable Addon

This addon adds many features, including

  • Chisels
  • Shovels
  • Halberds
  • Blowpipes
  • Shortbows
  • Hematite tool material
  • Large Repair Kits
  • Laminar Armor and Shields
  • Silky Sacks for storing items

For more info, check the image descriptions on the gallery tab.

Example Addon

This addon includes examples of the following Tinkers' Construct datapack features

  • Tool materials
  • Casting and melting recipes
  • Material item (tool part) casting and melting recipes
  • Tool definitions and recipes
  • Tool tags (allow existing modifier recipes on new tools)
  • Modifiers and modifier recipes
  • Tinker Station slot layouts

It also includes examples of resource pack features:

  • Tool and tool part models
  • Modifier icons and colors
  • Material render info and colors
  • Custom material textures

  • Fluid for casting the custom material
  • New harvest tier
  • Creative mode tab
