Modifiers

All Tinker's Construct tools can be modified to allow for certain upgrades. They are listed below (and in the Materials and You book you receive in-game). Applying any of the below modifiers takes up one modifier slot, for which most tools have a default of three maximum.

## **Modifier Types**

### **Additional Modifiers**

Paper has the Material Trait Writable, increasing the number of modifiers the tool has, the trade-off is low stats. You can add this to any tool with Embossment

Moreover, with Tinkers' Tool Leveling mod, leveling tools is the best way to add additional modifiers. By using your tool in their intended manners, your tools will gain Experience points. A weapon will gain an amount of points based on the damage done while a tool such as a pickaxe or shovel will go up by one point per block broken. Every time your tools leveled up, they will have **one** **additional modifier**.

Currently, there is **no limit** of tool's level unless you place one in the mod's config file. Further tool's levels are currently capped at 32-integer limit.

In creative, there is an item called Creative Modifier, which can add modifiers to your tools without limit. You can apply many stacks of Creative Modifier at once.
