Tinkerer's Smithing

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** (Tweaked) No level cost, no work penalty applied to the result. Netherite is rebalanced to use diamonds for repair. | |  | **Anvil Combine** (Tweaked) No level cost for repairing. The order of inputs doesn't matter. | |  | **Anvil De-Working** Reduces the cost multiplier for future anvil crafts. (Usually called "Prior Work Penalty" or "RepairCost".) | | | | ### Shapeless Recipes | | | |:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |  | **Shapeless Repair** Costs the same as crafting. Only works when unenchanted. | |  | **Shapeless Upgrade** Costs the same as crafting. Keeps existing damage. | | | | ### Smithing Recipes | | | |:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |  | **Smithing Upgrade** Costs the same as crafting. Use up to 4 less material for a damaged result. | |  | **Sacrificial Upgrade** Any type of netherite equipment can be used. Result damage is based on the sacrifice. For "gilded" tiers (like netherite) only | | | | ### Mechanic Changes | | | |:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |  | **Keepers (Broken Equipment)** Named or enchanted equipment won't break. Broken equipment is ineffective until repaired. | | | | ### Emergent Mechanics | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |  | | **Useful Treasure** 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. | |  | | **Miscellaneous Repair** 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.
