Tinker Tools: Reloaded

Tinker Tools: Reloaded is a maintained and expanded fork of the original Tinker Tools addon for RIFT—created to keep the tool alive, stable, and evolving for today's dimensioneers. This version preserves the spirit and workflow of the original addon while introducing essential bug fixes, stability improvements, and powerful quality-of-life features that make building large or complex dimensions smoother than ever.

Whether you're constructing a sprawling city, a precision-aligned architectural marvel, or just experimenting with item placement, Tinker Tools: Reloaded is designed to stay reliable under heavy use.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you use the original Tinker Tools, keep the old addon installed (but disabled) for your first login with Tinker Tools: Reloaded. Your sets will import automatically.

Notes for Users of the Original Tinker Tools

This is a continuation, not a replacement. All original workflows still function the same way, and all saved sets, item data, and UI settings are preserved. The intent is to keep the addon alive and stable while steadily improving reliability and adding optional features that enhance—but never interfere with—existing builds.
