Tinkers' Assembly

Automate Tinkers' Construct tool making with Create's machines. Build tinkered tools, cut parts, and cast parts — fully automated, straight from the machines of Create.

A Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge 47 addon bridging Create 6.0.8 and Tinkers' Construct 3.11.2.

Features

• Sequenced Assembly tool crafting — Craft tools by assembling parts onto an assembly template via a line of Deployers. Supports 24 tool templates (melee, ranged, and armor).
• Deployer part repair & swapping — Deployers holding a repair kit or a new part can repair a damaged tool or swap a part's material on the fly.
• Mechanical Saw part cutting — Drop a part cast into the Saw's filter slot, feed it material ingots, planks, or stones, and cut them into material-bound parts.
• Spout part casting — Pour molten metal from a Spout into a cast to produce a filled cast. Gold casts are reusable; sand casts are consumed.
• KubeJS compatibility — Extend with custom assembly templates through item tags.
• Create filter attributes — New attribute filters for tools, parts, materials, and modifiers in Create's logistics system.

How It Works

Sequenced Assembly Tool Crafting

1. Obtain an assembly template (e.g. Pickaxe Assembly Template) from the creative tab.
2. Place it on a conveyor belt past Deployers, each holding a tool part (pick head, handle, binding).
3. Each Deployer installs its part and accumulates the material. After the final step, the sequence produces a complete tinkered tool with the assembled materials.

Each tool's template is registered under tassembly:templates/<tool> tags, so recipes and Deployer detection both key off tags rather than hard-coded items.

Mechanical Saw Part Cutting

Set a part cast (e.g. Pick Head Cast) in the Saw's filter slot, then feed material items on the belt. The Saw cuts them into parts with the material bound.

• Inputs: any material item matched by TConstruct's Material recipes — ingots, planks, stones, gems.
• Limits: material mining level ≤ iron; part cost ≤ 2; 50% success chance (failures consume the material with no refund, preventing metal-loop exploits).
• JEI: see the Mechanical Saw Part Cutting category.

Spout Part Casting

Pour molten metal from a Spout onto a part cast to produce a filled cast.

• Gold casts are reusable (returned to the belt); sand and red sand casts are consumed.
• Fluid amount matches the casting recipe exactly (e.g. 144 mB per ingot).
• JEI: see the Spout Casting category.

KubeJS

Add a custom assembly template by registering an item and tagging it:

StartupEvents.registry('item', event => {
    event.create('my_sword_template', 'basic')
        .tag('tassembly:templates/sword')
})

Custom representative items for the Saw's JEI display:

ServerEvents.tags('item', event => {
    event.add('tassembly:representative_items', 'minecraft:cobblestone')
})

Create Filter Attributes

New item attributes usable in Create's filters (Smart Observer, Attribute Filter):

Attribute	Description
tassembly:tinker_tool	Tool matches a tool definition
tassembly:tinker_tool_part	Part matches a material stats type
tassembly:tinker_tool_broken	Tool is broken
tassembly:tinker_tool_material	A specific part index is made of a material
tassembly:tinker_material	Part is made of a material
tassembly:tinker_tool_modifier	Tool has a modifier
