Alternate Table Models

There is a great resource pack which contains table models more in line with the pattern chest. Check it out here, if that's your thing!

Getting Started

Tinkers' Construct is a mod about putting tools together in a wide variety of ways, then modifying them until they turn into something else. The tools never disappear and can be named and changed to your heart's desire. Once you make them, they're yours forever. Many different materials can be used to make your tools.

To get started you need a few tables and a place to put your patterns.
Tool Tables

Be sure to put the pattern chest by the part builder, as you can access them together. Use the Stencil Table to craft the patterns, and craft tool parts from them using the Part Builder. The part builder also displays information about the material used.

Next step is the Tool Station, where you build, modify, and repair tools like so.

The next step is to build a Smeltery, so you can process metals and use them for tool parts as well. All you need is some gravel, sand and clay.

Many molten things

You can even automate your Smeltery. There's some new friends included as well.

The mod also brings a few new things to the world, like these fellows here.

More slime island fun
Single-Use Clay casts
Right clicking a drain with a bucket puts the liquid into the smeltery
Sharpening kits so you can have any harvest level desired
No more extra-modifiers
New modifiers: Soulbound (Nether Star) and Width/Height (Expander)
New improved GUIs

F.A.Q

Q: Where did Copper, Tin, Aluminum,... go?

A: Tinkers' does not add any ore generation besides Cobalt and Ardite anymore. It does however support any mods that add them automatically.

Q: The Smeltery is missing!

A: Go to your config directory. There you'll find a TinkerModules.cfg. Enable the Smeltery there.

Q: <Anything regarding old Minecraft versions>

A: Active development always focuses on the current version of Minecraft. There will be no backports to older/previous versions.

Q: Optifine crashes my game with Tinkers'!

A: Optifine changes how rendering works. If it crashes the game, there's nothing I can do about that. Tinkers' Construct does not use any special rendering.
