Tool Balance

• Melting now gives up to twice as much fluid
• Swords once again have 3 upgrade slots and 1 ability slot, as it turns out they are the strongest weapon in terms of DPS
• Haste now gives only 5% attack speed per level instead of 10%
• Dual wielding now causes 80% attack speed and damage, instead of just 66% attack speed
  • On large tools, its 90% attack speed, 70% attack damage
• Sweeping edge is now linear, granting +25% sweeping per level
• Reinforced is now a different formula to make level 1 less strong and later levels more viable
• Jagged now gives only half the damage boost it previously did, as it still ended up too strong
• Insatiable does +2 damage per level instead of +3
• Piercing now does +1 piercing per level, but -0.5 attack damage (net gain of +0.5)
• Glowing now only works on tools with durability (only affects addons), but only costs 10 duarability per glow instead of 25
• Many handle stats rebalanced
  • Within each tier, all handles should be roughly as strong
  • Tier 4 is now about as strong as tier 3, to encourage using older materials

Smeltery

• Make channels less sensitive to neighbor changes
• Added casting recipe for andesite
• Remove melting recipe for bloodshrooms
• Fix certain quartz items giving 3x as much as they should

World

  • Effectively a chest with more slots, but less storage capacity
  • Does not keep contents when broken

  • For custom modifier recipes, its nessesscary to define a removal recipe or the modifier will give nothing when removed

  • Replaces the modifier recipe lookup on recipe levels

API

• Added a config option to force enable Tinker's compat materials, useful for testing material balance
  • For modpacks, don't use this as it won't give you recipes. Just use a datapack to change the material (honestly, you would be better off adding a custom material that reuses the trait)
• addVolatileData and addToolStats now have item context
  • Old hooks still exist as deprecated, will be removed in the future, but should remain for a couple alphas
• Added set option to the tool definition builder
  • Used instead of modifier for attack speed on vanilla tools, will also be useful for specialized tools in the future
• Split out parent ModifiableItem from ToolItem
  • Has a lot of similar uses, but does not implement harvest logic
  • Much of the logic from ToolItem was also moved to some of the helper classes to make modifiable items that don't extend ModifiableItem easier

API - Recipes

• Modifier requirements now check tool tag as well as modifier level
• Added modifier salvage recipes
  • The existing modifier recipe builder can generate salvage recipes, in many cases its just a couple of tweaks for the recipe
• Merged the two recipe modifier packages
  • Unfortunately may break some addons, though in most cases it will only affect datagen
• Modifier slots are more generic now
  • Allows addons to add more slot types
  • New wiki page gives more details
