## What it is
Tinkers' Construct is a Minecraft mod (Java, MIT-licensed) that lets players assemble customizable tools and weapons from many materials and modify them indefinitely, including a multiblock smeltery for melting metals. It also provides datapack and addon APIs for other mod developers.

## Use cases
- build customizable tools and weapons in Minecraft that never break and can be renamed or reworked
- smelt and alloy metals in a multiblock smeltery
- create modpacks featuring modular tool crafting
- develop addon mods extending Tinkers' Construct
- create datapacks adding new tool materials and modifiers

## When to choose
- you want deeply customizable, upgradeable tools in a Minecraft modpack
- you need a mature, well-documented tool-mod foundation for your own addon
- you want in-game metallurgy with a multiblock smeltery

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone application rather than a Minecraft Forge mod
- you play unsupported or outdated Minecraft versions
- you expect official support for custom-built jars or third-party modpack issues
