Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to Create an unbreakable tool in Tinker's Construct. Specifically, we will focus on making an unbreakable pickaxe using a combination of specific materials and modifiers. This method can also be applied to other tools within the mod. Let's get started!

Making the Unbreakable Pickaxe

Materials Needed

To create an unbreakable pickaxe, we will need the following materials:

• Pickaxe head (any material)
• Binding (any material)
• Tool rod (made of paper)
• Block of gold
• Slime crystals (magma, Blue, and green)
• Obsidian

Crafting the Pickaxe

1. Start by crafting the pickaxe head and binding. You can choose any material for these two parts, but cobalt is recommended for the pickaxe head due to its quick mining speed.
2. Use the part builder to create a paper tool rod. This will provide an extra modifier, which is crucial for making the tool unbreakable.
3. Combine the pickaxe head, binding, and tool rod in the tool forge to create the pickaxe.

Embossing the Pickaxe

1. To emboss the pickaxe, create a new pickaxe head using paper. Keep it aside for now.
2. Place the pickaxe and the paper pickaxe head in the tool forge.
3. Instead of combining them directly, we need to emboss the pickaxe. For this, we require four additional items: a block of gold, magma slime crystal, blue slime crystal, and green slime crystal.
4. Obtain the required slime crystals by following the recipe: 2 dirt + 2 sand + 1 nether rack + 1 soul sand + 4 green slime + 4 blue slime + 4 orange slime + 2 Blaze powder.
5. Smelt the slime crystals in a furnace to obtain three new crystals.
6. Add the gold and the three crystals to the tool forge along with the pickaxe and paper pickaxe head.
7. The cobalt pickaxe will be embossed with paper, providing a total of five modifiers.

Adding Reinforcements

1. The final step is to fill up the modifier slots to make the pickaxe unbreakable.
2. To do this, we need obsidian and casts. Create casts using a smeltery, either by using extra casts or by smelting gold directly into the casting table.
3. Surround each cast with obsidian to create reinforcement modifiers.
4. Place the cobalt pickaxe back into the tool forge and add the reinforcement modifiers one by one.
5. Once all the modifiers are added, the pickaxe will now be unbreakable.

Testing the Unbreakable Pickaxe

With the unbreakable pickaxe in HAND, it's time to test its durability. Break various blocks such as crystals, dirt, and cobblestone, and observe how the pickaxe's durability remains unaffected. This unbreakable tool will last indefinitely unless lost or destroyed.

Applying the Method to Other Tools

The method discussed in this tutorial can be applied to other tools within Tinker's Construct. Whether it's a hammer, shovel, or any other tool, simply switch out the parts and follow the same steps to make them unbreakable. This is a convenient way to ensure that all your tools remain Durable and efficient.

Pros and Cons of Using Unbreakable Tools

Pros

• Saves time and resources: Unbreakable tools eliminate the need for constantly repairing or creating new tools.
• Increased efficiency: With an unbreakable tool, you can mine, chop, or dig without worrying about durability.
• Reliable and long-lasting: Unbreakable tools will not break under normal usage.

Cons

• Limited enchantment options: Unbreakable tools do not allow for enchantments related to durability or repair. This limits the ability to add useful enchantments like Sharpness or Fire Aspect to weapons.

Conclusion

Creating an unbreakable tool in Tinker's Construct is a valuable skill that can greatly enhance your gameplay experience. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can make an unbreakable pickaxe, as well as Apply the same method to other tools. Enjoy the convenience and efficiency of having tools that will last indefinitely, saving you time and resources.
