Tinkered Constructor

Full disclosure: this is 99.9% not my code.  Full kudos to the real Tinker's Construct team for all the hard work.

This is a fork of the final discontinued 1.7.10 version of Tinker's Construct, to allow for balance changes that I consider important but the original devs did not think were in the spirit of their vision.  Some of the tweaks are also provided by Iguana Tweaks, but that mod does entirely too many things I don't like, and Tinker's Construct 1.7.10 development has halted, so I wanted to just tweak it myself to keep things performant and simple.

WARNING:  Unlike Iguana Tweaks, this is a replacement, so do not try to install it alongside Tinker's Construct.  However, every change I made is configurable, and Tinkered Constructor can be configured to behave identically to Tinker's Construct, or to include all of my changes, or anywhere in between.  Furthermore this mod is network-compatible and only needs to be installed on the server, if you want to impose my changed rules on your players without editing the client modpack.

New Features (enabled by default):

• disable invulnerability of dropped tools (both extended despawn time and immunity to damage)
• drop life canisters on death
• 3x damage from thrown daggers

Changed Defaults (this only matters if you create a fresh config file with Tinkered Constructor):

• Keep hunger on death turned off (restored to vanilla minecraft behavior)
• Keep levels on death turned off (restored to vanilla minecraft behavior)
• Disabled all oreberry generation
• Reduced slime island frequency

If you play my fork, and you want to donate money, the original authors Boni and mDiyo deserve it all.  While I consider my changes important, they only took a few days.  Fund the creation of more cool mods for me to later screw up!
