Tinkers' Things is an addon for Tinkers' Construct that contains no Java code (if you do not believe me, check the GitHub source). This is made possible through the mod Json Things, which allows you do add custom items, fluids, blocks, creative tabs, and harvest tiers through JSON files.
This mod serves two purposes:
- It is a fully playable survival friendly Tinkers' Construct addon adding a lot of new tools and armor to the mod.
- It serves as an example for those wishing to create Tinkers' Construct datapacks and no-Java code addons.
This addon adds many features, including
- Chisels
- Shovels
- Halberds
- Blowpipes
- Shortbows
- Hematite tool material
- Large Repair Kits
- Laminar Armor
For more info, check the image descriptions on the gallery tab.
This addon includes examples of the following Tinkers' Construct datapack features
- Tool materials
- Casting and melting recipes
- Material item (tool part) casting and melting recipes
- Tool definitions and recipes
- Tool tags (allow existing modifier recipes on new tools)
- Modifiers and modifier recipes
- Tinker Station slot layouts
It also includes examples of resource pack features:
- Tool and tool part models
- Modifier icons and colors
- Material render info and colors
- Custom material textures
- Tinkers' Construct material textures on new tools
- Harvest tier name and color
There are also example "things" which require Json Things to add:
- Cast items

- Fluid for casting the custom material
- New harvest tier

For more info on custom Json Things content, see the Tinkers' Construct wiki page. More info on datapack content can also be found on the wiki
To use this mod, you need at least Tinkers' Construct build 3.6.1. You also need to install Json Things, which is not currently on Modrinth. Assuming you have both, you can install this mod like any Java mod.
