Modifiers

Modifiers grant unique abilities to your tools and weapons, though strangely, they don't seem to work with any throwable items.

Modifier Template​

The first step is to learn how to create a Modifier Template. Think of this as the foundation for all your future Modifiers. Modifier Template

Crafting modifiers​

To create any Modifier, we always start with a Modifier Template and surround it with the required materials.

For example, to make an Explosive Modifier, we'll infuse the Template with TNT and Gunpowder.

*All recipes can be crafted at a Crafting Table.

Explosive Modifier

All Modifiers will be displayed in the in-game crafting menu for easy access.

Simply search for 'Modifier' or use a Modifier Template to view available options.
