Create: Goldstein Wrench

The Create Wrench engineered for self-defence

The Goldstein Wrench keeps the engineering utility of Create's familiar wrench and reinforces it for situations that require a more direct form of maintenance.

Rotate a gearbox, recover a contraption, relocate a train, or apply Gravity Assisted Bonk to whatever interrupted the workday. No mode switching required.

Still a Create Wrench

The reinforced frame does not sacrifice the wrench's original purpose. Supported interactions include machinery rotation, sneak-dismantling, radial orientation, belts, girders, gauges, packagers, mechanical arms, deployers, minecarts, mounted contraptions, and trains.

The same item belongs beside the toolbox even when the toolbox is currently surrounded by zombies.

Impact Maintenance

The Goldstein Wrench has 8 total base attack damage, 1.5 attacks per second, and enchantability 19. Better Combat provides its standard attack presentation, while an empty off hand enables its two-handed overhead smash presentation during a Gravity Assisted Bonk.

Applicable enchantments can be added through the Enchanting Table or with Enchanted Books and an Anvil, subject to each enchantment's normal acquisition and compatibility rules. The complete set of supported vanilla combat enchantments is:

• Sharpness
• Smite
• Bane of Arthropods
• Knockback
• Fire Aspect
• Looting
• Sweeping Edge
• Density
• Breach
• Wind Burst

Compatibility is not claimed for every modded enchantment. Durability enchantments also have limited practical value because the wrench's own supported combat and engineering actions do not consume durability.

Optional RPG Series skill support

The Goldstein Wrench is recognized as an RPG Series mace. With the supported optional RPG Series stack installed, it gains the same Smash skill and mace branch used by compatible RPG Series weapons:

• Spell Engine 1.9.9 up to, but not including, 1.10.0 provides Smash
• Paladins & Priests 2.7.1 up to, but not including, 2.8.0 enables the mace branch used by Skill Tree
• Skill Tree 1.4.4 up to, but not including, 1.5.0 provides Mace Specialisation, Justice Served, and Shatter

To use Smash, hold the Goldstein Wrench in your main hand and activate Smash from the Spell Engine hotbar with the key assigned under Controls > Key Binds. Smash has a half-second wind-up, strikes at melee range with powerful knockback, interrupts the target's shield or other item use for two seconds, and has a ten-second cooldown.

The compatible Skill Tree mace branch provides:

• Mace Specialisation — increases critical-strike damage by 8% while the wrench is held
• Justice Served — Smash hits have a 40% chance to reset Smash's cooldown
• Shatter — Smash reduces the target's armor for six seconds

Smash and Gravity Assisted Bonk are separate attacks. Smash uses the Spell Engine hotbar; G.A.B. is triggered by striking while falling.

These integrations are optional. The Goldstein Wrench retains its normal Create, Better Combat, enchantment, and G.A.B. features without them.

Gravity Assisted Bonk — G.A.B.

When an unwanted visitor is standing below the windmill, railway, or scaffolding, apply gravity.

Fall toward a target and strike before landing. Like Minecraft's Mace, greater falling distance produces greater damage. Density contributes to G.A.B. damage, and a successful impact applies the expected knockback and mace effects.

There is no separate combat mode. One moment the wrench adjusts a gearbox; the next, it adjusts whatever wandered into the construction site.

GW Classified

GW Classified is an in-game Patchouli archive containing the recorded results of Goldstein Wrench testing, including its properties, applications, limitations, and retained incident reports.

The documents can be crafted and can also be awarded through Create's Wrench and Engineer's Goggles advancement path.

Fragments of the Goldstein Brothers Theme are concealed throughout the archive. A preserved schematic indicates that a playable rendition can be produced using Create machinery. Players who want to discover the method naturally should inspect the documents before searching for the recipe in JEI or EMI.

No further information has been disclosed.
