Any comments, criticisms, & requests are welcome.

Possible Questions:

Can I use it in a Modpack?

• Of course, just remember that Json Things is required, which is only on CurseForge.

Can you add other materials?

• I cannot guarantee it, but you can suggest almost any materials. If it were to make sense in this pack, it could be included.

Any current plans for the mod?

• Armor trim compatibility.
• Adding future compat materials if Tinkers' Construct makes them.
• Making existing materials support other tool parts. For example, Aluminum is only used in bows and armor, but I could make it support tools.
• Adding custom materials.
• Changes to ore generation and textures.
• Compatibility with other mods. Requesting support for another mod is encouraged, as I want this to be readily usable for modpacks.

Anything that is NOT going to be added?

• Treated Wood. Getting it is too complicated to be included. If someone explains a simpler way of obtaining it, then it could be added.
• Things requiring Java code.
• Backports and/or Fabric. I will only make and maintain versions 1.20.1+ on Forge and NeoForge only.
