Tinker's Continuum

A community NeoForge 26.1 port of Tinkers' Construct.

Tinker's Continuum is the working name for this community-maintained port of Tinkers' Construct 4 to Minecraft 26.1 / NeoForge 26.1.

This is not an official SlimeKnights release. The original mod, source code, assets, design, and license remain credited to SlimeKnights. This repository exists to keep the mod playable on the NeoForge 26.1 target while the upstream ecosystem catches up.

Port target

Component	Version
Minecraft	26.1.2
NeoForge	26.1.2.78
Java	25
Gradle	9.1

Current support

This port currently focuses on the core Tinkers' Construct experience:

• Tools, materials, parts, modifiers, tool stats, and tooltips.
• Smeltery, foundry, melter, casting, fluids, tanks, and related rendering.
• Recipes, loot, advancements, data generation, tags, and world generation that have been ported to the current data/API format.
• Client features needed for normal play on NeoForge 26.1.

Optional compatibility currently included:

Mod	Status
JEI	Recipe/category integration for the current port.
JsonThings	Flex item/block integration for TCon content where supported.
Apotheosis / Apothic Enchanting	TCon tool enchant/modifier bridge, loot category mapping, post-cap handling, and related recipe/tooltip cleanup for the supported 26.1 versions.
Jade	Basic block tooltip integration for TCon fluid tanks and related tank blocks.

Other historical Tinkers' Construct integrations are not listed as supported here until those mods have usable NeoForge 26.1 builds and the compat has been tested in this port.

Requirements:
