About this project
What does Dreamtinker add?
Dream Tinker
Dream Tinker is a large-scale addon for Tinkers’ Construct 3 that turns tool crafting into a dreamlike relic-forging system.
It focuses on moonlit materials, alchemical metals, soul mechanics, cursed modifiers, ritual weapons, strange armor effects, and dangerous late-game power. Instead of simply adding stronger materials with bigger numbers, Dream Tinker gives many tools and modifiers their own rules, costs, conditions, and combat identities.
The goal is to make TConstruct feel less like a linear upgrade system and more like a system for creating unstable artifacts: weapons that remember kills, armor that bends death, materials born from moonlight or antimony, and modifiers that trade safety, health, fate, memory, or sanity for power.

What Does It Add?
Dream Tinker adds a wide range of TConstruct content, including:
- original tool materials
- new modifiers
- special tools and weapons
- armor-related mechanics
- new fluids and casting recipes
- ritual-style crafting
- soul, curse, fate, shell, and statistics-based systems
- cross-mod progression QOL content
Many materials are not plain stat sticks. Some are built around moon phases, some around soul mechanics, some scale with player statistics, and some interact with curses, death, protection, loot, or specific enemy types.
Special Tools and Weapons
TNT Arrow
A special ranged weapon based around explosive arrow behavior, including repeat explosions, forced explosion behavior, and other destructive projectile effects. 
Ma Shuo
A heavy, long-reach spear weapon designed for powerful melee combat, sweeping attacks, reach-based fighting, and mounted attacks.
UnderWear Plate / Special Armor Set
A special armor line with transformation-style mechanics, slot-based effects, and unusual defensive behavior.
3-part armor has a special weapon transformation modifier to boost stats depending on equipment slots
Narcissus Wing
One of Dream Tinker’s signature ritual weapons. It combines melee, ranged, harvesting, memory, wish, soul, persona, and reason-themed mechanics into a single evolving tool.
Modifier Design
Dream Tinker’s modifiers are designed around special mechanics rather than simple stat bonuses.
They can change how tools fight, defend, survive, harvest, remember kills, interact with souls or curses, and respond to strange conditions such as moonlight, fate, death, or despair.
Many modifiers are conditional or high-risk, high-reward, encouraging players to discover unusual combinations instead of stacking generic upgrades.
Mod Integration
Dream Tinker is designed to work well in magic, exploration, bossing, and endgame-focused modpacks.
Its compatibility content helps connect TConstruct with other progression systems, allowing materials, enemies, souls, curses, rituals, and special resources from different mods to become part of tool and armor crafting.
In larger modpacks, Dream Tinker can act as a bridge between TConstruct and broader magical or adventure progression, turning outside resources into meaningful parts of your artifact-building process.
