Pewter Mod — Guide
Materials and Stats
Pewter adds a wide array of materials sourced from other mods. Each material is balanced to reflect its rarity and power level within its parent mod.

Material Traits
The materials added by Pewter come with unique traits that provide passive bonuses or active effects when used in tools.
- Thaumic: Found on Thaumium parts. It grants the tool an additional modifier slot, allowing for more upgrades like Haste or Luck.
- Void: Found on Void Metal parts. The tool gains a self-repairing property, slowly regenerating durability over time by drawing from the void.
- Mana: Found on Botania metal parts (Manasteel, Terrasteel, Elementium). The tool will consume Mana from the player's inventory (via Mana Tablets or Rings) to repair itself instead of losing durability.
- Celestial: Found on Starmetal. The tool's effectiveness (mining speed and damage) increases based on the current phase of the moon and the presence of starlight.
- Corrosive: Found on Betweenlands materials. Attacks apply a corrosion effect to enemies, dealing damage over time and weakening their armor.
- Botanical: Found on Livingwood and Dreamwood. Increases the effectiveness of Mana-related traits and slightly reduces the cost of mana-based repairs.
- Antimagic: Found on Antimony. Provides a small chance to negate incoming magic damage or debuffs while the tool is held.
Mechanics: Custom JSON Materials
Pewter allows users to define their own Tinkers' Construct materials using JSON files. This is useful for adding support for mods not natively covered by Pewter.
JSON Structure
To add a custom material, create a JSON file in config/pewter/materials/. The file should follow this structure:
{
"name": "example_material",
"color": "#FFFFFF",
"craftable": true,
"castable": false,
"stats": {
"head": [200, 5.0, 4.0, 2],
"handle": [0.9, 50],
"extra": [50]
},
"traits": ["sharp", "dense"]
}
Properties
- name: The internal name of the material.
- color: The hex color code for the tool parts.
- craftable: If true, parts can be made in the Part Builder.
- castable: If true, parts can be made in the Smeltery Casting Table.
- stats: Defines Durability, Speed, Attack, and Harvest Level for the Head; Modifier and Durability for the Handle; and Durability for the Extra part.
- traits: A list of Tinkers' Construct trait IDs to apply to the material.
