Modifiers (Tinkers' Construct)

From Feed The Beast Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

All of the Tools and Weapons from Tinkers' Construct can be modified. Once an item is complete, you can use the Tool Station to add extra abilities to it. Different materials/items have different amounts of modifiers.

Additionally, different materials will affect the appearance of the tool/weapon in the order that you add them. For instance, adding redstone to a pick will make a red wrap appear around the binding, while adding auto-repair to a pick will cause a green moss to cover a majority of it, and also cover up many of the other existing modifiers (such as the redstone). As such, if you plan on adding auto-repair, you may consider adding the moss first and the other modifiers later, so that those modifiers visibly stand out. For best results, experiment with different orderings in creative before committing in survival.

Adding Modifiers[edit]

Paper tool parts give +1 additional modifier per piece. (i.e. Using a paper binding allows the tool to have 4 modifiers. Making a tool all out of paper means will have 6 modifiers, but will have a slow mining speed and low harvest level).

1x Diamond + 1x Gold Block = 1 additional modifier. Can only be used once.
1x Enchanted Golden Apple + 1x Diamond Block = 1 additional modifier. Can only be used once.
1x Nether Star = 1 additional modifier. Can only be used once.

Non-paper tool: 3 modifiers (max. 6 with additional modifiers)
Tool with paper binding: 4 modifiers (max. 7 with additional modifiers)
Full-paper tool: 6 modifiers (max. 9 with additional modifiers)
(If you have Extra Utilities installed) Full-magical wood: 11 modifiers (max. 14 with additional modifiers)
