Description

Casual Tinkering adds versatile new tools to Tinkers' Construct: the Circular Saw and the Magic Device, each designed for unique combat and utility roles.


đź”§ 1.12.2 Version (Forge)

🪚 Circular Saw

  • Crafting: Tool Forge using Tough Tool Rod, Tough Tool Rod, Large Plate, and Pan.
  • Woodcutting: Acts as an axe. Mining speed = 1.0 + 80% of Large Sword Blade's speed + 60% of Pan's speed.
  • Charged Sweep Attack: Hold right‑click to charge – charge time scales with attack speed. Releases a horizontal sweep attack damaging all hostile mobs in a 4‑block radius, 90° frontal cone. Costs 1 durability.
  • Damage Formula: 1.0 + 80% of Large Plate's damage + 60% of Pan's damage.
  • Durability(head): 100% of Large Sword Blade's durability + 50% of Pan's durability
  • Precision Sawing (Modifier): 5Ă— Compass – Logs that can be processed into planks drop as planks instead.
  • Overclock (Modifier): 5Ă— Redstone Comparator – Increases damage dealt to secondary targets during sweeping attacks.

đź”® Magic Device

  • Crafting: Tool Forge using Tool Rod, Sword Blade, and Pan.
  • Ranged Strike: Hold right‑click for 1.5 seconds to conjure two magic swords that fly toward the targeted enemy, each dealing 50% of the weapon's base damage as magic damage (ignores armor).
  • Full‑Cooldown Bonus: When you land a hit with a fully cooled main‑hand attack, an additional magic sword is summoned.
  • Off‑Hand Synergy: While held in the off‑hand, any main‑hand sword (vanilla or Tinkers') that strikes a creature will automatically summon a magic sword to assist.
  • Invincibility Frame Handling: Magic swords respect local invincibility frames to avoid chain‑resistance issues.
  • Auto Device (Modifier): 4Ă— Redstone Repeater + Redstone Torch – Automatically strikes nearby hostile mobs when held in main hand.

Inspired by Toram Online.

  • Requires: Minecraft 1.12.2, Forge, Tinkers' Construct 2, Mantle.

🪚 1.20.1 Version (Forge)

A complete rewrite for modern Tinkers' Construct 3, fully data‑driven with Json Things.

🪚 Circular Saw

  • Parts: 2 Ă— Tough Handle, Large Plate, Saw Blade (new custom part).
  • Woodcutting: Acts as an axe. Mining speed scales with material stats.
  • Charged Sweep Attack: Hold right‑click – charge time scales with attack speed. Unleashes a sweeping attack in a 4‑block radius, 90° cone. Attack frequency also scales with attack speed.
  • Sawing Modifier: Adds the charged attack ability. Can be applied to any melee tool using a Saw Blade, Netherite Ingot, and Redstone Comparator, consuming one ability slot.
  • Casting Support: Saw Blade can be cast from gold or sand casts; gold casts are reusable, sand casts are single‑use.
  • Tool Book: Full encyclopedia pages included.

🗡️ Throwing Knife

  • Parts: 1 Ă— Arrow Shaft, 2 Ă— Arrow Head.
  • Disposable ammunition: Stacks to 16. Crafted in the Tinker Station, yields 8 knives per craft.
  • Throwing: Short charge (0.5s) – automatically fires. Damage scales with material stats.
  • Retrieval: Sticks in blocks after impact, can be picked up.

🔥 Thermal Ray Modifier

  • Consumes liquid fuel (lava, blazing blood, etc.) from the tool’s fluid tank to fire a devastating heat ray. Overheats after 10 consecutive shots.

✨ Magic Sword Series Modifiers

  • Magic Sword: On a fully charged melee hit, summons one or more magical swords that strike the target.

  • Magic Sword: Control – Charge and release to summon swords at a targeted enemy within 8 blocks.

  • Magic Sword: Auto – Automatically strikes the nearest enemy every few seconds.

  • Magic Sword: Coop – When held in the off‑hand, main‑hand attacks summon assisting swords.

  • Requires: Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge, Tinkers' Construct 3, Mantle, Json Things.
