How to make bronze in tinkers construct
In Tinkers’ Construct, bronze is not a naturally occurring material but rather an alloy that you can create by combining other metals. To make bronze in Tinkers’ Construct, you will need to mix copper and tin using a Smeltery, a key component of the mod. Here are the steps to create bronze:
Materials You’ll Need:
- Copper ingots or ore (obtained from copper ore or smelting copper)
- Tin ingots or ore (obtained from tin ore or smelting tin)
- Smeltery (constructed with Smeltery blocks, a Smeltery Controller, a Smeltery Drain, and a Smeltery Tank)
Instructions:
1. Build a Smeltery:
- First, you’ll need to build a Smeltery, which is a multiblock structure that allows you to melt down and mix metals. To construct a Smeltery, you’ll need Smeltery blocks, a Smeltery Controller, a Smeltery Drain, and a Smeltery Tank. The exact dimensions and arrangement can vary, but you can find tutorials and guides online for building a functional Smeltery.
2. Gather Copper and Tin:
- Obtain copper and tin either by mining copper and tin ore in the world or by smelting other copper and tin items.
3. Place the Metals in the Smeltery:
- Right-click on the Smeltery Controller to access the Smeltery interface.
- Place the copper and tin into the Smeltery. You can do this by either throwing the ingots or ore pieces into the smeltery (if you have enough) or by using a casting table to pour liquid copper and tin into the Smeltery.
4. Melting the Metals:
- Use the Smeltery to melt down the copper and tin. The heat from the Smeltery will cause the metals to turn into a liquid state.
5. Mix the Metals:
- Once both copper and tin are melted in the Smeltery, they will automatically mix to create bronze. You’ll see the bronze liquid in the Smeltery.
6. Create Bronze Ingots:
- To create bronze ingots, you can either use a casting table to pour the bronze into ingot casts or use a casting basin to create bronze blocks. Place the appropriate casting table or casting basin underneath the Smeltery drain, and right-click on the Smeltery drain’s interface to pour the molten bronze into the casting table or basin.
7. Solidify and Collect the Bronze:
- Wait for the bronze to solidify in the casting table or basin. It will change from a liquid to a solid state.
- Collect the bronze ingots or blocks by right-clicking on the casting table or basin.
8. Use Your Bronze:
- Your bronze ingots or blocks are now ready to be used in Tinkers’ Construct for crafting and creating various tools, weapons, and items.
Bronze is a versatile material in Tinkers’ Construct and is often used for its durability and useful properties. You can use it to craft better tools and weapons or for other mod-specific purposes, depending on the modpack you’re playing.
