Description
TINKERS' ANTIQUE
Tinkers' Antique is a fork of Tinkers' Construct 2 for Minecraft 1.12.2. Originally made by mDiyo, bonusboni, KnightMiner, and others.

This fork aims to be its own unofficial take of Tinkers' Construct 2. Features include fixed bugs, (back)ported features from other Tinkers' Construct versions, new config options, and long term support, with bits of unique content sprinkled in. You can find the original mod description here for further details.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This fork is unofficial and 1.12.2 is no longer supported from the official authors, please do not report bugs related to this fork or the 1.12.2 version in general to them and rather report these to our GitHub instead!
This mod requires Mantle. If you are updating from the original Tinkers' Construct mod, make sure to reset your config file!

⁉️ FAQ
💭 Why the rebranding?
The SlimeKnights team wishes ports and forks to have unique names for distinction, read more about it here. Tinkers' Antique resembles a vintage tool shop as a reference to 1.12's comparably old age.
😨 Will my add-ons and worlds still work?
Yes, this fork is created with 100% retro-compatibility in mind. If you should somehow encounter immediate issues when migrating, please report it on GitHub accordingly.
