Tinkers' Tools

Tinkers' Tools is thingpack for Tinkers' Construct that adds several tools. Everything is obtainable in survival.

Requires Json Things, which is only on CurseForge

Overview

This thingpack currently adds eight tools:

• Dolabra
• Hammer
• Hoe
• Mace
• Paxel
• Shortbow
• Shovel
• Spear

It also adds three tool parts:

• Mace Head
• Shovel Blade
• Slender Blade

Heres some quick definitions of these tools:

• The dolabra is used to break wood and stone. Slower than most other small tools. Plural form is dolabrae, not dolabras. In reality, it was also used as a pickaxe, but this implementation is more interesting.

• The hammer is a 3x3 mining tool that also does considerable damage. Mines ores extra slow.

• The hoe can till dirt, break plants like leaves, and has two extra upgrade slots.

• The mace is a slow, damaging weapon that has excellent armor piercing. Does not function like the modern Minecraft mace.

• The paxel is a broad tool that essentially combines a axe, pickaxe, and shovel. Is pretty slow though. Fictional tool, unlike the dolabra.

• The shortbow is a bow that has very short range, but draws very fast. It does have some visible modifiers, unlike the other bows.

• The shovel mines dirt and create paths. Extra knockback. Has two extra upgrades slots.

• The spear is a long polearm that has extra reach and increased damage if sprinting.

Any and all further information can be found within the books present in Tinkers' Construct while this thingpack is installed.

Requirements

This thingpack requires both Tinkers' Construct and Json Things.

Possible Questions

Can I use it in a Modpack?

• Of course, just remember that Json Things is only on CurseForge.

Can you add other tools?

• Yes! If you have any ideas, feel free to suggest them here. I already have some ideas and plans for future updates as well.

Could the balancing be adjusted?

• Absolutely. Even if it is the smallest adjustment. There is no world in which this thingpack is perfectly balanced. It adds a paxel, which by its nature is unbalanced. Tinkers' has an entire section of their FAQ dedicated to why paxels are unsuitable for the mod.

Anything not being added?

• Backports. I will only be making and maintaining versions 1.20.1+. If Tinkers' advances in its version, then this will as well.

Known Issues

Tools have weird placement when thrown using the throwing modifier. (Fixed in upcoming 1.3.0 update.)

The Spear and Pike (Pike is not out yet) are held the wrong way when throwing. (No clue how to fix this, I'm looking into it for 1.3.0.)

Pike is the incorrect size when used in a ballista bow.

Rush modifier does not display added damage in tooltip, only in tinker's anvil. (Also no clue how to fix.)

Rush and Length modifiers have no color attached to them. (Currently they are white.)

No support for other creator's materials. (Will be added in separate pack, as textures take up lots of space. Around 66% of this pack's total size is tool textures.)

Final Notes

This thingpack can be used as an example for any wanting to make their own addons to Tinkers' Construct. Kinda like Tinkers' Things, but focused solely on tools.

Any comments, criticisms, & requests are welcome.
