Casual Tinkering adds versatile new tools to Tinkers' Construct: the Circular Saw and the Magic Device, each designed for unique combat and utility roles.

🔧 1.12.2 Version (Forge)

🪚 Circular Saw

• Crafting: Tool Forge using Tough Tool Rod, Tough Tool Rod, Large Plate, and Pan.
• Woodcutting: Acts as an axe. Mining speed = 1.0 + 80% of Large Sword Blade's speed + 60% of Pan's speed.
• Charged Sweep Attack: Hold right‑click to charge – charge time scales with attack speed. Releases a horizontal sweep attack damaging all hostile mobs in a 4‑block radius, 90° frontal cone. Costs 1 durability.
• Damage Formula: 1.0 + 80% of Large Plate's damage + 60% of Pan's damage.
• Durability(head): 100% of Large Sword Blade's durability + 50% of Pan's durability
• Precision Sawing (Modifier): 5× Compass – Logs that can be processed into planks drop as planks instead.
• Overclock (Modifier): 5× Redstone Comparator – Increases damage dealt to secondary targets during sweeping attacks.

🔮 Magic Device

• Crafting: Tool Forge using Tool Rod, Sword Blade, and Pan.
• Ranged Strike: Hold right‑click for 1.5 seconds to conjure two magic swords that fly toward the targeted enemy, each dealing 50% of the weapon's base damage as magic damage (ignores armor).
• Full‑Cooldown Bonus: When you land a hit with a fully cooled main‑hand attack, an additional magic sword is summoned.
• Off‑Hand Synergy: While held in the off‑hand, any main‑hand sword (vanilla or Tinkers') that strikes a creature will automatically summon a magic sword to assist.
• Invincibility Frame Handling: Magic swords respect local invincibility frames to avoid chain‑resistance issues.
• Auto Device (Modifier): 4× Redstone Repeater + Redstone Torch – Automatically strikes nearby hostile mobs when held in main hand.
