Metallic Tinkering

Metallic Tinkering is a thingpack for Tinkers' Construct that adds all* the materials supported in the base mod, but require a separate mod to obtain.

Requires Json Things, which is only on CurseForge

Features:

There are currently 10 ores and 6 alloys, leading to a total of 13 materials!

Ore Generation:

• Aluminum: 56 to -24
• Lead: 16 to -56
• Nickel: 48 to -24
• Osmium: 128 to -56
• Platinum: 8 to -8
• Silver: 48 to -48
• Tin: 128 to -8
• Tungsten: 16 to -64
• Uranium: 8 to -64
• Zinc: 56 to -40

Alloys:

• Brass: 1 Copper + 1 Zinc = 2 Brass
• Bronze: 3 Copper + 1 Tin = 4 Bronze
• Constantan: 1 Copper + 1 Nickel = 2 Constantan
• Electrum: 1 Gold + 1 Silver = 2 Electrum
• Invar: 2 Iron + 1 Nickel = 3 Invar
• Pewter: 2 Tin + 1 Lead = 3 Pewter

Other:

• Crude Iron: Crafted with raw iron and two of either coal or charcoal. Smelt some to get steel ingots. (Basically functions as raw steel)
• Coal Nugget: Eight are crafted from one coal. Each smelts one item.

Specific Support For:

• Ex Deorum
• Tinkers' Construct

Any comments, criticisms, & requests are welcome.

Possible Questions:

Can I use it in a Modpack?

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

Can you add other materials?

• I cannot guarantee it, but you can suggest basically any materials. If it were to make sense in this pack, it could be included.

How do 10 ore and 6 alloys lead to 13 materials?

• Nickel, Tin, and Zinc are used to make alloys. Uranium and Brass make Necronium and Plated Slimewood respectively.

Any current plans for the mod?

• Armor trim compatibility.
• Adding future compat materials if base Tinkers' Construct makes them.
• Making existing materials support other tool parts. For example, Aluminum is only used in bows and armor, but I could make it support tools.
• Possibly adding custom materials.
• Changes to ore generation and textures.
• Compatibility with other mods. Requesting support for another mod is encouraged, as I want this to be readily usable for modpacks.

Anything that is NOT going to be added?

• Treated Wood. It is supported by Tinkers', but getting it is too complicated to be included. If someone explains a simpler way of obtaining it, then it could be added.
• Things requiring Java code.
• Backports. I will only make and maintain versions 1.20.1+.
• Fabric. Json Things is Forge and NeoForge only.
