A sentimental and convenient gear crafting rebalance.
Server-side, but with some extra polish (and better EMI support) on the client.
Requires Connector and FFAPI on forge.
--- Tinkerer's Smithing is a data-driven equipment crafting rebalance that: - Allows repairing every vanilla item that has durability for no level cost (even fishing rods) - Allows upgrading all tools and armor between material tiers (even chainmail) - Encourages gradually improving your first set of tools and armor with materials and enchantments - Makes all the enchanted treasure you find lying around actually useful - Forgoes nerfing or removing mending or table-grindstone enchanting by instead buffing everything else - Balances all of its recipe types on the vanilla cost of equipment --- ### Anvil Recipes | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ![Anvil Repair](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/RhVpNN5O/images/f7ff03dbd4891e48f3fc31fcf8f2d013e802a34e.png) | **Anvil Repair** (Tweaked)
No level cost, no work penalty applied to the result.
Netherite is rebalanced to use diamonds for repair.

All vanilla materials are linked to eachother via the upgrade tree.
It doesn't matter if a pair of Protection IV leggings are made of gold, chain, or leather - just upgrade them to the right material, then use them at an anvil.

All previously unrepairable items now have repair recipes - including utility tools. | | | --- ### Modpack Configuration Recipes are driven by defining **Tool Materials**, **Armor Materials**, **Equipment Types**, and **Unit Cost Overrides**. - **Materials** inherit from vanilla tool/armor materials. They define upgrade paths like Iron->Diamond. - By default, all vanilla materials are defined. - **Types** define "alike" items. Items with matching types can upgrade . - By default, the 5 tools (e.g. `c:swords`) and 4 armor slots are defined. - **Unit Cost** is what an item costs to upgrade to or repair. It's usually guessed from the material and a recipe. - By default, vanilla non-tool/armor items are made repairable by overriding this. - Netherite is also overridden to have appropriate diamond unit costs. For data structure examples, check out the [built-in datapack](https://github.com/sisby-folk/tinkerers-smithing/tree/1.19/src/main/resources/data/minecraft) or the mod compatibility packs in [Tinkerer's Quilt](https://github.com/sisby-folk/tinkerers-quilt/tree/1.19_modded/resources/datapacks). --- ### Older Versions For minecraft 1.15-1.17, 1.0 is available as a [datapack](https://download-directory.github.io/?url=https://github.com/sisby-folk/tinkerers-smithing/tree/nbtc2/src/main/resources) for [NBT Crafting](https://modrinth.com/mod/nbt-crafting) - see the [old readme](https://github.com/sisby-folk/tinkerers-smithing/blob/nbtc2-experiments/README.md) for features. --- ### Afterword All mods are built on the work of many others. This mod is included in [Tinkerer's Quilt](https://modrinth.com/modpack/tinkerers-quilt) - our modpack about rediscovering vanilla. We're open to suggestions for how to implement stuff better - if you see something wonky and have an idea - let us know. --- Tinkerer's: Quilt - Smithing - Origins - Statures - HUD
