Unique

These value types are defined as part of Tinkers' Construct.

ModifierEntry

Full name and level of a modifier to be added.

Keys

• name (Modifier): Full modifier name.
• level (integer): Level of the modifier to be added, defaults to 1.

Example

Represents 1 level of the silky modifier:

{
  "name": "tconstruct:silky"
}

Represents 2 levels of the leaping modifier:

{
  "name": "tconstruct:leaping",
  "level": 2
}

ModifierMatch

Modifier match is a simple way for a recipe to specify the required modifiers. It supports two forms: entry and list

Entry

Same format as ModifierEntry. Represents a single modifier that must be present and the minimum level.

In addition to all the keys specified by the two types, the top level ModifierMatch supports one extra key:

• error (String): The translation key of the error to shown if the ModifierMatch fails. Only available on the top level.

List

Matches if the required number of items in the matches.

Keys:

• options (array): List of ModifierMatch objects. Can be either an entry or another list.
• matches_needed (integer): The amount of matches from the list required.
  • Setting to 0 is effectively a Boolean true
  • Setting to 1 is effectively an OR condition
  • Setting to the size of the list is effectively an AND condition
  • Setting to a value larger than the list size is a Boolean false

Examples

Matches 2 or more levels of the expanded modifier. Errors with the specified key.

{
  "name": "tconstruct:expanded",
  "level": 2,
  "error": "recipe.tconstruct.modifier.ender_expander_requirements"
}

Matches any two of the diamond, emerald, and netherite modifiers:

{
  "options": [
    {
      "name": "tconstruct:diamond",
      "level": 1
    },
    {
      "name": "tconstruct:emerald",
      "level": 1
    },
    {
      "name": "tconstruct:netherite",
      "level": 1
    }
  ],
  "matches_needed": 1,
  "error": "recipe.tconstruct.modifier.gardite_requirements"
}

SlotCount

See the SlimeKnights Documentation.

RandomItem

Represents an item with a random chance and stack size. Can be constant (always returns the given item), range (returns between min and max items), or chance (has a chance percent chance of the result).

Keys

• All keys from ItemOutput
• chance (float): Number between 0 and 1 for the percent chance of this item.
• min (integer): Minimum number of items to produce. Maximum will be the count of the item
• max (integer): Alias for count as min and max looks cleaner than min and count.
