Your mod looks amazing, I can't wait to get to mess around with it!
Seeing as how your mod is based on making TiC and M&B:B more compatible, can you add an option to allow the use of all TiC weapons in both slots of the weapons tab? It seems strange to me that you can use only the longsword, and even that only on the main hand

div>Quote from Demogarose i've been working on a concept for implementing Armor crafting into TiC, got it mostly fleshed out, including Modifiers and Recipes



could either be made part of the official TiC or as an Add-on, in either case I dont know the first thing about programming so I'd never be able to actually implement it myself



Anyhow here it goes:



Armor can be crafted from any of the currently available TiC materials using 2 new Parts: Straps and Small Plates



Straps can be made from Cloth, Leather, or Paper. Cloth straps are made from either 1 Wool for 2 straps, or 2 string for 1. Leather Straps are crafted 1 for 1. Paper Straps are made with a cost of 2 paper for 1 strap. Straps apply a modifier to the final durability of the armor, similar to Handle Modifiers. Cloth is the baseline, at 1x modifier, with Leather being higher and paper being lower. Paper straps will however bestow the Writable material mod. Strap modifiers would stack multiplicatively, so multiple paper straps for example would lower the durability of the final piece even further.



Small Plates are made with a Material cost of 2 per plate. The type of small plate determines the protection value and base durability of the armor piece.



Suggested Recipes:

Helmet- 2 Small Plates and X Straps

Chest plate- 4 Small Plates and X Straps

Leggings- 4 Small Plates and X Straps

Boots- 2 Small Plates and X Straps



this would keep the overall amount of Material cost for a full set the same as vanilla armors (24) with the additional cost and benefit of the Straps



as for Modifiers, I've come up with what I think are appropriate materials for all the vanilla enchants, as well as two somewhat novel ones of my own



Thorns - Cactus

Fire protection - snowballs

Blast Protection - gunpowder

Projectile Protection - flint

Protection - Iron Ingots or Diamonds

Respiration - Ink Sacks

Feather Falling - Feathers



and the 2 novel ones:



Dodgy - Enderpearls (1% chance per pearl to take no damage from a Projectile or Explosion, max 25 per modifier slot)

Retributive Ignition - Fire Charge (enemies that attack you are lit on fire for 5 sec per level, 1 per slot)

It is sort of, since for now the shield acts like a pickaxe if you were to use it for digging it would gain xp but wont from being used as a shield. That is on the list of things I need to fix.
