Materials and You

Tinkers' Construct builds tools from parts. Every part has a material with its own stats and a trait.

The head sets durability, speed, mining tier and attack, the handle multiplies them, the binding only adds its trait.

Your path: Grout → Seared Bricks → Melter → Smeltery → Casting → Tools → Modifiers.

First tools need no furnace: the Part Builder with wood, stone, flint or bone.
