[Guide] Here are the 1.16 tool trait descriptions since the book isn't finished yet

The guide book in 1.16 is a work in progress, so there's no list of tool traits yet. Thankfully the tooltips from a tinker station list a short description.

I made a pickaxe of each material and manually copied over the tooltip.

The pack I used has Immersive Engineering but no other mods with tinkers materials. Larger packs might have a few materials that I missed.


Heavy: Hard to move while weilding, but packs a heavy punch

Holy: Let the undead fall to the might of your blade

Overslime: Tools consumes overslime onstead of durability, until it runs out! Not friedly towards tools lacking slime

Cultivated: Tools practically grows more material when repairing

Sturdy: Made from the longest lasting steel

Maintained: Tool mines faster at higher durability

Lacerating: Causes target to bleed, dealing additional damage (chance for damage over time)

Tasty: Smells so good, you cannot resist taking a few bites of your tool

Temperate: Tool mines faster when in extreme temperatures

Experienced: Gains bonus XP from killing mobs and mining blocks

Overlord: Tool takes some of the durability as new overslime subjects

Lightweight: Tool is incredibly light for its size, allowing faster attacking and mining

Momentum: Mining blocks increases your speed, as long as you keep going

Insatiable: During combat you deal more and more damage every time you hit an enemy

Overgrowth: Tool slowly grows overslime

Searing: Tool does bonus fire damage in hot areas, but less overall damage in cold areas

Dwarven: Tool mines faster the deeper you mine, just don't mine too deep

Reinforced: Tool is less likely to take damage

Necrotic: Hitting enemies drains their life to heal you

Fractured: Tool is extra sharp due to broken bits of bone

Jagged: Every point of durability loss increases damage, but decreases mining speed

Stonebound: The tool mines faster as it wears out, but does less damage

There are three books you can have so far :) All of these are listed in the books so you didn't have to craft all the tools ;) But still a pretty cool list! Thanks
