Description
Melterns is an in-development mod for Luanti 5.6.0+ that adds molten metals, melting, casting and creating tools.
This mod is inspired by the Tinkers Construct mod for Minecraft, however it's a bit less-featured due to technical limitations and general lack of polish. None of the code or assets used in this mod have been taken from TC - everything is my original creation.
- Combine different materials to make unique tools using the Pattern Table, Part Builder and Tool Station.
- Melt down your raw ores and get double the ingots using the Multifurnace!
- ..or use your molten metals to cast better tool parts.
Check out the wiki to learn how to use the features of this mod in detail.

- Fix an infinite fluid extraction glitch involving the Faucet when trying to extract from a non-extractable buffer.
The faucet does not currently support extracting fluids from nodes with multiple buffers, as it is not intended for that purpose.

- Fixed an issue where the node_io API was used incorrectly when inserting fluids into nodes.
Make sure you have the latest version of fluid_lib as well!

- Implement the modifiers system: Currently, you can only apply a single diamond or netherite ingot as a modifier to improve your tools stats, will add more modifier items in the future.
- Modifiers in MCL-based games will allow you to mine higher level blocks - adding Diamond to your Steel pickaxe will allow you to dig Obsidian, for example.

(near) flawlessly replecates the Tinker's Construct experience within Minetest/Luanti
I like this mod because how faithful it is to a certain java/bedrock addon which I have already mentioned but wont bother so again, it works exactly how youd expect and even has support for some of the most popular content mods, i built a pretty tall forge in my survival world and its pretty cool to create custom tailor made tools, only problem is that you cant see the fluids inside the smeltery but thats more of an engine limitation then anything
Great tinkers-like mod that could use a bit more polish
This is an overall great mod that adds in the classic experience you expect if you played with Tinkers Construct before. The multiblock smeltery structure works, the lava tank can be filled and ore smelted into liquid which is cast into tools. The skeleton of the gameplay experience is all there!
Unfortunately some visuals just don't quite have the polish they really need for the mod to shine. The lava tank doesn't visually fill with lava you have to go by hud text. The GUI is kind of rough especially with melted liquid textures, no animations for texture flowing out of faucet or cooling into cast.
theres no advanced tools either, its the basics
All in all melterns is a great attempt at a very big mod and it passes in what it set out to do it seems. Theres plenty to still be worked on here but its a great foundation for gameplay.
Very Good Mod and i love it 👍
hi im newly found out about meltern mod and elepower mod and to me its pretty cool and i hope in future there will be something like modifier on the weapon, for example added mesecon modifier can increase +1 or +2 damage and adding obsidian can increase durability etc, and it will be more awesome if player not allowed to craft weapon and tools above wodden and stone just with regular method and must access multifurnace first. and i want to ask some question too
first how to get lava inside heated tank?, because im right click it or hold right click it with bucket of lava and nothing happen
second is elepower pump can transfer lava into the heated tank?
thats my question im really thankful if you can help me with that
Faithful port of Tinkers Construct
Perhaps a bit too faithful -- do we really need all those pop-up GUIs? I'd have preferred NodeCore/Age-Of-Mending -style "just puch the block" interfaces, but I guess tastes vary.
Nice system but overpowered tools (for minetest)
A stone pickaxe with a stone handle is as fast and durable as a vanilla diamond pickaxe.
Great mod
Keep the good work IcyDiamond, Melterns is one of the better Minetest mods.
I cant acess the git repo
Cool mod, but I can't access the git repo.
