Immersive Engineering: Tool Tweaks [Add-On]

Add-On for Immersive Engineering that enables more tool customization & balancing.

Info For Players

Immersive Engineering Tool Tweaks adds some new drill heads (new mining sizes & vein mining) for the mining drill and slightly rebalances some of the railgun projectiles.

Added Default Content:

  • New Drillheads
    • Diamond Coated Drill Head (4x4x1)
    • Echo Drill Head (Vein Mining)
    • Pneumatic Drill Head (3x3x3)
    • Netherite Drill Head (5x5x1)
  • Changed Railgun Projectiles
    • All Railgun Projectiles now ignore projectile deflection like wither armor
    • New Projectile: Lightning Rod (Can summon lightning during thunderstorms)
    • End rods give glowing and are placed when shot at solid blocks
    • Aluminum rods can be shot twice as fast
    • Blaze rods put blocks on fire
  • Manual Entries with info about the made changes

The added content might be different based on your modpack / server settings, so check out the Engineer's Manual for more info.

Fix Railgun Projectile Rendering

If the projectiles look like they are flying in the wrong direction (with or without this mod) (this is a general minecraft issue, not immersive engineering), use this mod to fix the issue:

Info for Modpack Authors / Server Hosts

Immersive Engineering Tool Tweaks allows you to add new drill heads and add/adjust railgun projectiles using datapacks (and optionally resource packs, e.g. with KubeJS)

You can:

  • Add new drill heads with custom properties
    • Mining size, depth, speed & tier
    • Vein Mining (Max Size and specific tags)
    • Durability, Repair Materials, Attack Damage
    • Item Color
    • 3D-Texture (choose from color presets or add resource pack with custom textures)
  • Add / Adjust railgun projectiles
    • Ammo Item/Ingredient
    • Firing charge duration, speed, deviation
    • Projectile damage, gravity, breakChance, color
    • On Hit Commands
      • On Hit Entity
      • On Hit Block - general
        • On Hit Block - only when hit from certain direction

For info on how to create a datapack for this mod, check out the wiki:
IE Tool Tweaks Wiki

======================================================

I am open for suggestions on how to improve the default content for this mod :)

Changes to the data structure for mod pack authors (e.g. adding customizable saw blades) are not planned at the moment but might be tackled once this mod has been out for a while and I have collected some feedback. I will do my best to not change the existing datapack structure when I add new attributes / modifiable items.
