Simple Modifiers

Standard way to add a modifier to a tool.

Keys

• type (string): Must be tconstruct:modifier
• inputs (array): List of SizedIngredients required to craft this modifier. If more than 3 are provided, the modifier requires the tinkers' anvil.
• result (ModifierEntry): Modifier applied by the recipe.
• tools (Ingredient): Tools the modifier is applicable on. Most often a tag.
• requirements (ModifierMatch): Optional list of modifiers that must be on the tool for this modifier to apply.
• slots (SlotCount): Contains information about the slots required for a modifier. If undefined or empty, the modifier will be "slotless", meaning no modifier slots are required.
• max_level (integer): Maximum level of the modifier that can be applied through this recipe. If unset, the modifier has no limit.

Examples

Defines a recipe for adding the draconic modifier using a dragon head. The modifier can be applied to any modifiable tool and at most 1 level can be applied.

{
  "type": "tconstruct:modifier",
  "inputs": [{ "item": "minecraft:dragon_head" }],
  "tools": { "tag": "tconstruct:modifiable" },
  "result": {
    "name": "tconstruct:draconic",
    "level": 1
  },
  "max_level": 1
}

Defines a recipe for adding a second level of the expanded modifier. It only applies to items in the AOE tag, requires a single level to already be applied, and consumes 1 ability slot. At most 2 levels are allowed, effectively meaning this recipe can be applied once.

{
  "type": "tconstruct:modifier",
  "inputs": [{ "item": "tconstruct:ender_expander" }],
  "tools": { "tag": "tconstruct:modifiable/aoe" },
  "requirements": {
    "name": "tconstruct:expanded",
    "level": 1,
    "error": "recipe.tconstruct.modifier.ender_expander_requirements"
  },
  "result": { "name": "tconstruct:expanded", "level": 1 },
  "max_level": 2,
  "slots": { "abilities": 1 }
}

Incremental Modifiers

Modifier recipe that can be applied incrementally, meaning a partial amount is applied granting a partial effect. For modifiers that do not implement incremental behavior, this will not function as expected.

Keys

• type (string): Must be tconstruct:incremental_modifier.
• input (Ingredient): The item added to make the modifier.
• neededPerLevel (integer): Number of input needed to craft this modifier. If less than this value is applied, the tool is given a partial modifier.
• amountPerInput (integer): "value" of each input towards the number needed per level.
• leftover (ItemOutput). If the amount needed to top off the modifier is smaller than the amount given per input, the remainder is given back as a stack of this item.
• result (ModifierEntry): Modifier applied by the recipe.
• tools (Ingredient): Tools the modifier is applicable on. Most often a tag.
• requirements (ModifierMatch): Optional list of modifiers that must be on the tool for this modifier to apply.
• slots (SlotCount): Contains information about the slots required for a modifier. If undefined or empty, the modifier will be "slotless", meaning no modifier slots are required.
• max_level (integer): Maximum level of the modifier that can be applied through this recipe. If unset, the modifier has no limit.

Example

Allows applying haste using redstone dust. 45 redstone dust is needed for the full recipe, but a partial amount can be added.

{
  "type": "tconstruct:incremental_modifier",
  "input": { "tag": "forge:dusts/redstone" },
  "amount_per_item": 1,
  "needed_per_level": 45,
  "tools": [{ "tag": "tconstruct:modifiable/melee_or_harvest" }],
  "slots": { "upgrades": 1 },
  "result": { "name": "tconstruct:haste", "level": 1 },
  "max_level": 5
}

Allows applying haste using redstone blocks. 5 redstone blocks are needed for the full recipe, but each block separately adds 9 towards the total. Note applying one block means now only 36 redstone dust from the previous recipe is needed.

{
  "type": "tconstruct:incremental_modifier",
  "input": { "tag": "forge:storage_blocks/redstone" },
  "amount_per_item": 9,
  "needed_per_level": 45,
  "leftover": "minecraft:redstone",
  "tools": [{ "tag": "tconstruct:modifiable/melee_or_harvest" }],
  "slots": { "upgrades": 1 },
  "result": { "name": "tconstruct:haste", "level": 1 },
  "max_level": 5
}

Overslime

Recipe to apply overslime to a tool or refill the overslime amount.

Keys

• type (string): Always tconstruct:overslime_modifier
• ingredient (Ingredient): Item consumed to restore overslime
• restore_amount (integer): Amount of overslime restored by this recipe.

Examples

{
  "type": "tconstruct:overslime_modifier",
  "ingredient": {
    "item": "tconstruct:ender_slime_crystal"
  },
  "restore_amount": 200
}
