Casual Tinkering
Casual Tinkering is an addon for Tinkers' Construct that introduces two unique tools: the Circular Saw and the Magic Device.
1.12.2 Version (Forge)
Circular Saw
A powerful and versatile hybrid tool designed to enhance both woodcutting and combat.
Features
- Hybrid Tool: Crafted from two Tough Tool Rods, a Large Plate, and a Pan.
- Efficient Woodcutting: Functions as a highly efficient Hatchet for felling trees—offering greater speed and durability than standard axes.
- Melee Combat: Serves as a formidable weapon with a unique charged attack.
- Charged Sweeping: Hold right-click to wind up and unleash consecutive wide-arc strikes in a frontal cone, perfect for crowd control.
- Precision Sawing (Modifier): 5× Compass – Logs that can be processed into planks drop as planks instead.
- Overclock (Modifier): 5× Redstone Comparator – Increases damage dealt to secondary targets during sweeping attacks.
Magic Device
A mystical sword that summons magical swords to assist in combat.
Features
- Ranged Strike: Hold right‑click to charge for 1.5 seconds, conjuring two magic swords that fly toward the targeted enemy, each dealing 50% of the weapon's base damage as magic damage.
- Full‑Cooldown Bonus: When you land a hit with a fully cooled main‑hand attack, an additional magic sword is summoned.
- Off‑Hand Synergy: While held in the off‑hand, any main‑hand sword (vanilla or Tinkers') that strikes a creature will automatically summon a magic sword to assist.
- Armor Penetration & Invincibility Frames: Magic swords bypass armor and respect local invincibility frames to avoid chain‑resistance issues.
- Auto Device (Modifier): 4× Redstone Repeater + Redstone Torch – Automatically strikes nearby hostile mobs when held in main hand.
- Inspired by Toram Online.
