Insane 1.16.5 Tinkers’ Construct Update – Must Watch!!!

Hello everybody my name is buddyneck and i’m going to be going over the most popular tool and weapon mod ever created for minecraft tinker’s construct just released an alpha version for minecraft 1.16 prior to this the most recent version of minecraft that you could play this mod in was 1.12.2

So this is pretty exciting news it’s been a while since we’ve been able to use tinker’s construct with modern versions of minecraft and with 82 million downloads at the time of recording this not only is this the most popular tool and weapon mod ever created this and its dependent mod mantel are

The third and fourth most downloaded minecraft mods of all time on curseforge originally i just planned to go over some of the new features that i spotted in this alpha version but since then i’ve talked to people in my discord and i’ve realized a lot of people

Don’t know what tinker’s construct is so instead of only covering the new features i’m going to use this as an opportunity to introduce new players to tinker’s construct because it is a very cool mod and most likely you’re going to start seeing a lot of it

This is a very early release and they haven’t even written the guide yet so i will be showing snippets of the guide from the 1.12 version to show what things are and how they work alright let’s start getting into it with this mod you can create custom tools from various materials

These tools don’t disappear when they break when they run out of durability they just stop working and they can be repaired anytime using the same materials that they’re made from you can also swap out the parts of your tools using the workstations added by the mod allowing you to constantly upgrade your

Tools instead of always replacing them this means you can use the same set of tools from day one until the very end of your world each tool is made by combining select parts in a tinker’s station or a tinker’s anvil each part can be made from any material and each material has

Different stats and traits material traits can have a lot of different effects on a tool some good and some bad these can be thought of almost like a new type of enchantment you can also add modifiers to your tools by combining them with various items and materials these are

Like another type of enchantment that can be added to any tool no matter what they’re made of some are as simple as adding redstone to give a tool haste and some are much more complicated involving crafted components but can be much more powerful this mod has by far my favorite workstations that

I’ve ever seen introduced with a mod they all connect with each other and even with chests adding tabs across the top to easily switch between them they also have built-in inventories so you can leave stuff in them making crafting much easier just a quick note for those of you who have played

This mod before the workstations have actually changed in this version we don’t have to craft patterns for each part anymore the part builder station contains all the patterns and just consumes a blank pattern whenever you create a new part this eliminates the need for the stencil

Table so it doesn’t exist anymore in the 116 version they’ve also added a modifier chest they’ve separated the part chest and the cast chest into two separate items and they’ve also replaced the tool forge with tinker’s anvils some materials can be turned into parts very easily in the part builder while more powerful

And substantial materials will require a smeltery seared bricks are used in pretty much every block of a smeltery and are made by smelting grout in a furnace grout is made from equal parts of sand clay and gravel and you’re going to need a lot of it so make sure you’re grabbing these

Anytime you see them when you’re starting off in your world in previous versions of tinkers you’d need to start by building a fairly large multi-block smeltery to smell any metals at all but they’ve introduced a beginner-friendly version of a smeltery with this version that only requires two blocks this

Two block smeltery increases the amount of materials you get from each ore by 33 percent it accepts solid and liquid fuel and it can only hold nine ingots now that we have a way to melt some metal we’re going to need a casting table

And a cast for any part that we want to make casts can be made from gold sand and red sand gold cast will last forever while sand casts are only good for a single use you need to attach a faucet to the side of your melter to either pour the material

Into your cast or to pour the gold around your item to create a cast and once cooled you can add the new part to your tool in the tinker’s station or tinker’s anvil it’s important to note that this mod adds some new tools and weapons that are more powerful than vanilla minecraft offers

And some of the best tools like the excavator that can aoe dig and the sledgehammer that can aoe mine will require the tinker’s anvil which is significantly more expensive than the tinker station all right now that we’re getting into the good stuff the next thing we’re

Going to want to do is make an actual smeltery this is a multi-block structure and you’re going to need a minimum of one tank so you can hold some lava a smeltery controller and a drain and a faucet so you can pour the materials for the rest of your smeltery you can

Use any of the other seared blocks that are designated as ok for smelteries every empty block of space in your smeltery allows you to hold 8 ingots of material and allows you to smelt an additional item at a time you can build a smeltery as

Big or as little as you want but i would suggest starting off with at least a three by three by two and then you can add on to it whenever you want this smeltery is much more powerful than the beginner smeltery this one gives you ore doubling and it’s

Able to smelt some materials that the smaller version wasn’t able to you can check the temperature of liquids the heat required to smelt an item and the amount of item that you’re going to get per ore using jei while tinkers does support a large amount of ores and materials currently

It only adds two new ores to your world generation cobalt and copper and you can also create alloys by mixing two materials inside of a smeltery for those of you who have played the older versions you’ve probably already noticed that there are a lot of tools weapons and materials

Missing from the 116 version like i’ve been saying this is a very early release and i’m sure they still have a lot of stuff that they’re gonna add moving on from tools let’s go over some of the other things that this mod adds to the game

And the first thing that i think of with tinker’s construct are the slime islands occasionally you’ll find these floating above you they spawn a new mob the sky slime and they contain some new varieties of slime slime trees and slime plants and i’ve noticed that they’ve started adding

Slime islands to the end which i believe is new to this version at least i don’t remember them in any previous versions and while we’re on the subject of slime we have to mention the slime boots and the slime sling which are both iconic to this mod we’ve seen plenty of people recreate

Them just because it’s such a fun way to travel this mod has always added clear glass which is a nice looking glass without the little lines in it and now they’ve added clear glass panes which are new to the 116 version they’ve also added soul glass and soul glass

Panes in 116 and just in case you were wondering like i was these don’t currently give you the soul speed effect shuriken are a very cool ranged weapon added by this mod you used to have to craft these in a tool forge now they’re crafted in a regular crafting table

But they can only be crafted out of flint and quartz this mod also adds glow balls which are a throwable light source eflin which is a throwable explosive save for mining and piggy backpacks that can be used to pick up and transport mobs this mod is among the top mods of

All time for a reason and i was very excited to see it brought to 116 i was really hoping it wouldn’t have been one of those mods that got left behind i thought you guys might like to see it as well so i just wanted to share that with you

And give a quick overview of what it is for those of you who have never used it and i can’t stress enough this is a very early release so you can expect a lot to be changed added and maybe even removed in the near future but this is definitely worth keeping an

Eye on and maybe even worth a download already so you can start checking it out now but i think that’s it i think we’ve covered everything that can be covered at this point anyway i want to thank all of you for watching and for sticking around to the very end
