## Tinkers' Construct 3

### Preface

Tinkers' Construct is a Forge mod for Minecraft: Java Edition, currently supporting versions 1.16.5 and 1.18.2. (Please note that the info on this wiki will always refer to the latest version available, so currently in MC 1.18.2). This wiki aims to create a center-point for accurate information concerning the newest version, **Tinkers' Construct 3** [*TiC3*]. It would be a difficult task to merge all three wikis for each version together into one big wiki, so for now, I plan to leave them separate. Players using older versions of the mod will still have a reference, while information concerning Tinkers' Construct 3 can huddle up here. If anyone would like to try to merge them yourself, everyone would appreciate it!

### Installation (Easy way)

1. As a prerequisite, you will need a valid copy of Minecraft: Java Edition
2. Next, download the CurseForge client (the standalone version doesn't use Overwolf)
3. Set Minecraft up and go to "Create custom profile" on top right corner
4. Chose a profile name
5. Select the Minecraft version you want (for TiCon 3 either 1.16.5 or 1.18.2 currently)
6. Select the latest Forge version available
7. Create
8. After creation, click on the profile you just created and select "Add more content"
9. Search for "Tinkers" and click on install

### Installation (Manual way) (WORK IN PROGRESS, use at your own risk)

1. As a prerequisite, you will need a valid copy of Minecraft: Java Edition
2. Next, download the correct version (for TiCon 3 either 1.16.5 or 1.18.2 currently) of the Forge mod loader for the minecraft version you will be playing on, and download the installer.
3. Forge uses a sketchy ad service so **DO NOT CLICK ANY ADS**, wait for the button to appear in the top right corner, then click "skip".
4. Run the forge installer (**this is always a .jar** **file** that says forge installer on it) (be 100% sure that this is not malware from an advertisement).
5. Download the TiCon 3 mod from a reputable mod hosting service (Modrinth, the official GitHub, or Curseforge)
6. **REQUIRED** Download the Mantle library mod as well. (Modrinth, the official GitHub, or Curseforge)
7. Open the Minecraft launcher, and click on the installations tab, then click on the folder next to your forge installation.
8. Put both mods inside the mods folder.
9. Launch the forge installation.
10. Optionally, you might want to use an item recipe mod, to do so, you just have to put it in the mods folder as well, and re-launch your installation.

### Getting Started

Welcome to Tinkers' Construct! This mod completely overhauls Minecraft's original tool system, and adds a variety of other content. In order to get started, you'll want to follow along with the book you'll find in your inventory the first time you spawn into a world, *Materials and You*. The book will walk you through general gameplay mechanics, the first tier of materials you have immediate access to, some primitive tools you can make, and how to get ahold of the next books. Read more about progression here!

### Concerning the Wiki

If you have the time and patience, you would benefit the community greatly by contributing to this wiki. These things are difficult to do alone, and the in-game books alone can be challenging to navigate. The more detailed this wiki gets, the easier it will be for players everywhere to pick up and run in Tinkers' Construct 3! A special thanks goes out to the development team of TiC3 for all their dedication and hard work - let's do our part by filling out this wiki!
