Tinkers' Bedrock: Blades of the Forge (v2.1)

As of v2.0, this add-on has been split into separate modules to improve performance for lower-end devices, so you can pick which features you want.

Modules are basically standalone parts of the add-on that you can use by themselves if you want to.

These are seen as Behaviour Packs.

• If using the Smeltery module, make sure it is placed above the others, to avoid breaking the progression chain.
• The Core module is needed for the others to work properly (besides gadgetry), providing all the new ores and alloys in the add-on.
• The other modules are completely optional, depending on how you want to play the game.

The Resource Pack is shown here.

• The Tinkers' Bedrock [RP] is all you need for all the modules to work.
• Side Note: Glory Days was an optional overlay pack that brings back the classic 1.12 Java textures. Rest assured, this may return in a later update.

In this module, there are 3 new ores to find in your world, along with 4 new alloys to create for your tools.

Without the Smeltery module, you simply make these alloys on a crafting table.

Aluminium

This is an ore as common as copper, is one major component for the smeltery, and is found between Y levels 0 and 100.

Extra Notes: Can be alloyed to make Alumite.

Cobalt

This is a rare ore which is found in the nether, and is found between Y levels 24 and 96.

Material Trait: Momentum - You mine faster after mining multiple blocks in a row.

Extra Notes: Fast mining speed.

Ardite

This is also a rare ore which is found in the nether, and is found between Y levels 48 and 128.

Extra Notes: High durability, tool textures remastered by Tomanex.

Bronze

Made with: Iron + Copper

Material Trait: Dense - Last 40% of durability has chance to not be lost.

Pig Iron

Made with: 2 Iron + Blood + Honey

Material Trait: Tasty - Your tool can be eaten a bit at a time.

Alumite

Made with: 3 Aluminium + 1 Iron + 1 Obsidian

Material Trait: Bountiful - Mining raw materials has chance to drop extra nuggets/shards.

Manyullyn

Made with: Cobalt + Ardite

Extra Notes: High attack damage.

Pattern

Materials and You

The guidebook for this module. Has 37 pages.

Crafting Station

A Tinkers' Style Crafting Table.

Tool Handles

All your tools use wooden handles, craftable on just a crafting table.

However, a tough handle is used for broader tools.

Part Builder

This is a table required for making parts for tools (other than tool handles).

All you'd need are a few patterns and the tool material you want to use.

Tinker Station

This is a table used to combine the parts to make your tools.

Repairing

A tool will lose durability after use, so luckily you can repair it whenever in an anvil, using the head material.

However, if you are unfortunate enough for it to break, you can still repair it as you get a broken variant of it, but you will need a Repair Station.

Note: All enchants will be lost if a tool breaks.

Tinker's Forge

This block is an upgraded Tinker Station, which allows you to make more advanced tools.

Pickaxe

"A precise mining tool, effective on stone and ores."

Shovel

"A precise digging tool, effective on dirt, sand, etc."

Hatchet

"A basic chopping tool, effective on wood and leaves."

Mattock

"A versatile farming tool, effective on wood, dirt, etc."

Broadsword

"A versatile sweeping weapon."

Longsword

"A offensive weapon, with a unique lunge mechanic."

Rapier

"A special weapon, partly bypassing armor through quick strikes."

Frying Pan

"A heavy weapon, inflicting knockback and bonk sounds."

Hammer

"A broad mining tool, which can mine in a 3x3 area."
Requires a Tinker's Forge.

Excavator

"A broad digging tool, which can mine in a 3x3 area."
Requires a Tinker's Forge.

Broad Axe

(Projectile model made possible by HaxTheCharizard)

Along with crafting tools, some new armors are now available to craft, providing unique abilities.

(More armor types may be added in the future, and current functionality may change).

Wooden Armor

Simply some bark scraps to protect yourself from the deadly environment.

No boots this time, pal.

Gladiator Armor

A bronze shell. Charge through danger with this heavy but powerful armor.

Vanguard Armor

Fly past mobs with this speedy and fashionable mix of cobalt and iron.

Samurai Armor

Manyullyn at its full potential. Blaze across the world in this fearsome padding!

Samurai is currently the only armor that requires a Tinker's Forge.

With this module active, metal tool parts are no longer craftable in the Part Builder, and require a Smeltery to progress.

Grout

This block is needed to make seared bricks and is crafted with clay, sand and gravel.

Seared Brick

This item is used to make Seared Bricks, or components for the smeltery.

Mighty Smelting

The guidebook for this module. Has 15 pages.

Seared Bricks

This is mainly a decorative block, and its appearance can be changed by placing it in the stonecutter.

Seared Tanks and Gauges

These are used to store lava and molten metals.

Melter

Features:

• Early Smeltery
• Fuelled with coal
• Fuel Capacity: 400mb
• Fluid Capacity: 3 Ingots

What is "mb"?

"mb" stands for milli-buckets, so 1000mb = 1 bucket. This is used to measure how much fuel you have left.

For example, 1000mb is the required fuel to melt 10 ingots, so smelting an Iron Block will consume 900mb of fuel at once.

Casting

There are 2 ways of moving about your molten fluid:

Aluminium Cans

Holds one ingot worth of fluid per can (molten buckets hold 2 ingots worth).

Seared Faucets

Instead of carrying about your fluid, you can directly pour it out from your melter.

Seared Channels

Instead of having your faucets tied to one place, you can use channels to pour fluid to your casting containers from as far away from the melter as you like!

Casting Table

This is vital for making metal tool parts and is essentially an upgraded part builder.

Sand Casts

Before you get access to gold, you can create disposable sand casts, that are single-use.

Gold Casts

These casts can be reused as much as you like!

Both of these casts are used to shape molten fluid into the desired tool part.

Casting Basin

This is a much faster way of getting metal blocks than the casting table.

Smeltery

Features:

• 3x3x1 internal size
• Gives 2 ingots per ore
• Able to alloy
• Fuelled with lava
• Fuel Capacity: 1000mb
• Fluid Capacity: 18 ingots

Smeltery Controller

The main component for a smeltery.

To make it, pour some molten aluminium on top of a Seared Heater, while in a Casting Basin.

Model

Building a smeltery requires a 3x3 bottom with 1 to 3 block tall walls surrounding it.

Make sure to also place the controller in the center of the wall.

Activate it by either pouring lava directly into the controller or having a tank next to it.

Like the melter, interact with the material you want to smelt, and it will be added to the smeltery.

Seared Grate

To directly interact with the fluid and move it around, you can use grates with Aluminium Cans to take it wherever you like.

This allows you to rearrange layers of the smeltery with ease.

While fluids in the lower layers may look full, they may not be. The grates allow you to interact with fluids as if they were at the top of the pile!

How to use:

• Interact with your bare hand to check how much fluid (out of 9 ingots) is stored on that layer.
• Interact with Aluminium Cans to deposit or withdraw fluid from an existing layer (use the controller to add new fluid).

Tinker's Gadgetry

The guidebook for this module. Has 12 pages.

Slime Islands

Across the ocean, you will find a small green island, home to slimes.

Slime Sling and Slime Boots

A slime sling allows you to shoot yourself into the sky from blocks, as an essential method of travel.

Slime Boots script code provided by HaxTheCharizard.

Even more additions!

Drying Rack

This block is used to dry food and turn it into jerky or leather. It will take around 5 minutes for raw food to dry and around 8.5 minutes for cooked food to dry.

Barricades

This block can be stacked upon itself to create a sturdy barrier against enemies.

Glowball

This placeable item allows you to light up floors, without the use of a torch.

Punji Sticks

Transforming bamboo into deadly mob traps.

Brownstone

A fancy stone providing a slippery surface to run on.

Can be smelted and made into various other variants in the stonecutter.

Find the game too easy?

This bonus pack removes the ability to craft any vanilla tools, weapons, and even armor.

While they can still be found as loot, this pack essentially forces you to rely on the tools and armour provided by the Arsenal module, to give you that extra challenge.

Worth the challenge? Try it out!

If you have had the add-on beforehand in an existing world, it is important to know that not everything will remain in your game as it should.

For example:

• All pre-existing tinkers tools will disappear from your inventory, due to them having new identifiers
• Any renamed/removed parts will disappear from your inventory
• All existing patterns are no longer needed, so will will disappear from your inventory
• You may need to break and replace your Part Builder
• Smeltery blocks may need breaking and replacing (mainly the Smeltery Controller, Casting Table and Seared Channels)
• Remove any casts already placed in Casting Tables
• Molten Buckets have been removed, so ensure to remove any stored fluid from buckets to avoid losing any fluid
• Destroy any placed down Tinkers' Anvils, as they have changed into a 'Tinker's Forge' instead

If you do still want to keep your old worlds with Tinkers on them, you still can, just ensure you acknowledge the info above.

Ensure you have completed these steps before swapping to the newer version.
