How to Craft Custom Tools, Weapons, and Shields

Instead of using standard vanilla crafting tables to make disposable gear, you can build modular equipment from separate components and upgrade it over time.

Forging and Assembling Parts

1. Gather your raw materials and prepare the individual components needed for your gear. Tools, weapons, and shields are built from interchangeable heads, handles, and bindings.

2. If you are working with metals, melt your raw ores inside a multi-block smeltery and pour the liquid metal into casts to forge the specific tool parts you need.

3. Combine your finished heads, handles, and bindings to assemble the final weapon, tool, or shield. Each part passes its own special traits onto the finished item, letting you mix materials to suit your needs.

Applying Modifiers and Upgrades

Once your custom gear is assembled, you do not need to replace it when you want better performance:

1. Gather the materials required for custom modifiers and upgrades.

2. Apply the modifiers directly to your assembled tool, weapon, or shield.

3. Use these upgrades to grant special combat buffs for fighting mobs or mining buffs to clear blocks faster.
