Inventor

The Inventor builds the crew's gear at the Workshop: the Fisher's rods and parts, the Hunter's traps and nets, the Miner's and Lumberjack's tools, the Musician's instruments, hull parts for the Carpenter's boats, dials, and weapons and bombs for a fight. A second bench, the Upgrade Bench, fits their parts onto tools.

The benches

Both are built at an ordinary crafting table, and anyone can build them. They face you when you place them.

The Upgrade Bench

This is where a part is fitted onto a tool.

  • Put a tool in one slot and a part in the other, and take out the same tool with the part on it. It keeps its wear, its enchantments and the parts already fitted.
  • The bench shows what the part will do on that tool before you fit it.
  • Each part fits once per tool: the bench refuses a part that is already on it.
  • It takes fishing rods (rod parts), bug nets and traps (hunting parts), and the Carpenter's boats (hull parts and sails).
  • Anyone can use it: it asks for no trade and no level.

Materials

  • Iron Scrap is found in chests of shipwrecks, mineshafts, dungeons, ruined portals, pillager outposts, underwater ruins and village smiths, and comes up with fishing junk.
  • Mysterious Parts are found in chests of shipwrecks, buried treasure, desert pyramids, jungle temples, mineshafts, dungeons, strongholds, ancient cities, underwater ruins and woodland mansions.
  • Dial Fragments come from a Miner who shatters one of Mine Mine no Mi's dials.
  • Pure Iron Ore and Diamond Fragments come from the Miner.

For the Fisher

  • Reel (Inventor 1; Iron Ingot, Stick, 2 String): the base of the Whopper Fishing Rod and the Ultimate Reel. The Carpenter's Burning Tree Fishing Boat also takes one.
  • Whopper Fishing Rod (Inventor 5; Reel, Raw Iron): catches run bigger. 128 uses, twice as many as an ordinary fishing rod.
  • Ultimate Reel (Inventor 30; Reel, 2 Mysterious Parts, Raw Iron): the base of the next rod.
  • Sea King Fishing Rod (Inventor 32; Ultimate Reel, Cola): the biggest catches of any rod, 320 uses, and its hook floats on lava. It is the only way to fish the Lava Flounder and the Burning Dragon.

Rod parts

Fitted at the Upgrade Bench. Every part fits every rod, but it does most on the rod it was made for:

Part (level; recipe) Plain rod Whopper Sea King
Fishing Rod Upgrade (8; 1 Bamboo) catches +0.20 bigger +0.10 +0.05
Fishing Line Upgrade (8; 9 String) Cruise's fish ×1.50 as often ×1.35 ×1.25
Whopper Rod Upgrade (18; Raw Iron, 2 Iron Scrap) +0.10 bigger +0.25 +0.15
Sea King Rod Upgrade (40; Mysterious Dial) +0.10 bigger, ×1.10 +0.20, ×1.15 +0.30, ×1.25

"Bigger" is how far the catch's size is pulled toward the top of its species' range; the bench shows +0.20 as "Catches bigger by 20%", and the bite factor as "This addon's fish x1.5 as often". See the Fisher for how they add up.

Salt: for the Fisher, the Cook and the Chemist

Sieve Inventor level Made from Salt chance Rest Uses
Sieve 1 planks, Stick, 2 String 60 % 60 seconds 48
Fine Sieve 12 Sieve, 2 Iron Scrap, 2 String 80 % 20 seconds 128

Hold use on a water source in an ocean or beach biome for 2 seconds: the sieve may give Crystallised Salt, then needs its rest. Only sea water leaves salt. Crystallised Salt feeds the Cook (Broiled Killifish, Hardtack Ration, Dinosaur Steak) and the Chemist (Salt Ball, Instant Freeze Ball).

For the Hunter

  • Traps (Inventor 1; 3 Nectar, Bamboo, a log): only a Hunter can set one and collect its catch. It closes on a creature after 2 to 5 minutes and is used up once its catch is collected.
  • Enhanced Traps (Inventor 22; Sweet Sap, 2 Nectar, 3 Iron Scrap): the same, but they close in 1 to 2.5 minutes.
  • Enhanced Bug Catcher Net (Inventor 28; 3 Raw Iron, 5 Mysterious Parts, Bamboo): 256 uses (the plain net has 64) and +1.5 blocks of reach.

Hunting parts

Fitted at the Upgrade Bench. Each fits a net or a trap, and does the same kind of work on both:

Part (level; recipe) On a net On a trap
Extension Pole (24; 3 Bamboo, 2 Iron Scrap, Antlion Lacewing) +2.5 blocks of reach springs 35 % sooner
Reinforced Frame (31; Hercules Beetle, Atlas Beetle, 3 Iron Ingot, Mysterious Parts) wears half as often survives its catch half the time
Steady Grip (39; 2 Ice Miyama Stag Beetle, 2 hides, 3 Iron Scrap, Mysterious Parts) holds a creature up to 5 Hunter levels above you same
Catch Bag (46; 4 String, 2 hides, 2 Sweet Sap, a wing) 1 catch in 4 gives its by-products twice same

For the Miner and the Lumberjack

Tool Inventor level Made from Rank, uses What it does
Woodsman's Axe 20 2 Pure Iron Ore, 3 Diamond Fragment, 2 Mysterious Parts, 2 logs diamond, 1 800 a Lumberjack's second log turns up 25 % more often; a felling tool that hits for less than a diamond axe; mended with Diamond Fragments
Enhanced Pick-axe 25 5 Diamond Fragment, 3 Mysterious Parts, a log diamond, 1 800 a Miner's finds turn up 25 % more often; mended with Diamond Fragments
Felling Saw 35 4 Pure Iron Ore, 3 Mysterious Parts, 2 logs iron, 1 200 one cut brings down the whole trunk, up to 64 logs of the same wood, at one use per log

The Felling Saw only takes logs that grew on a tree, not placed ones, and it works upward and outward from the cut, never below it.

Hull parts, for the Carpenter's boats

Fitted on a boat at the Upgrade Bench. They stay on the boat item, and a wreck gives them back.

Part Inventor level Made from What it does
Iron Plating 16 4 Iron Ingot, 4 Iron Scrap, planks the hull takes 2 more blows
Hull Ram 26 3 Iron Ingot, 2 Pure Iron Ore, 2 Mysterious Parts, 2 planks a moving boat deals 6 damage to whatever it runs into, at most once a second
Burst Dial 42 Jet Dial, 3 Mysterious Parts, 3 Iron Ingot, 2 Iron Scrap while you steer, right-click with a Cola and the boat leaps the way you look; the Cola is used up, and the dial needs 5 seconds before it takes another

The sails are the Tailor's, not the Inventor's. See Boats.

For the Musician

Instrument Inventor level Made from Tune reaches Tune lasts Uses
Bamboo Flute 6 3 Bamboo, String 8 blocks 20 minutes 32
Violin 22 3 planks, stick, 4 String, Sweet Sap 12 blocks 25 minutes 64
Guitar 38 4 planks, 3 String, Iron Scrap, Magnet 16 blocks 30 minutes 128

Each one can then be improved, twice: a Fine one, then a Master's one, gilded, the Master's in black lacquer. Each step carries further, lasts longer and has more uses.

Instrument Inventor level Made from Tune reaches Tune lasts Uses
Fine Bamboo Flute 26 Bamboo Flute, 2 Gold Nuggets, Sweet Sap 10 blocks 25 minutes 48
Fine Violin 42 Violin, Gold Ingot, 2 Sweet Sap 15 blocks 30 minutes 96
Master's Bamboo Flute 46 Fine Bamboo Flute, Gold Ingot, Ink Sac 12 blocks 30 minutes 64
Fine Guitar 58 Guitar, Gold Ingot, 2 Sweet Sap 20 blocks 35 minutes 192
Master's Violin 62 Fine Violin, 2 Adam Planks, Gold Ingot, Ink Sac 18 blocks 35 minutes 128
Master's Guitar 78 Fine Guitar, 2 Adam Planks, 2 Gold Ingots, Ink Sac 24 blocks 40 minutes 256

And the grand piano, placed and played seated, never worn out:

Piano Inventor level Made from Tune reaches Tune lasts
Grand Piano 40 4 Adam Planks, 2 Iron Ingots, Nether Quartz, Ink Sac, Gold Ingot 20 blocks 35 minutes
Fine Grand Piano 70 Grand Piano, Gold Ingot, 2 Sweet Sap 30 blocks 45 minutes
Master's Grand Piano 100 Fine Grand Piano, 2 Gold Ingots, Ink Sac 40 blocks 60 minutes

See the Musician for how they are played, and the grand piano.

For the Navigator

The Lens (Inventor 28; Diamond Fragment, 2 Glass) and the Magnet (Inventor 30; 3 Pure Iron Ore, Redstone) both go into the Navigator's Eternal Pose (Chart Table, level 50). The Magnet also goes into the Guitar.

Dials

  • Mysterious Dial (Inventor 34; 9 Dial Fragments): an empty dial shell.
    • At a smithing table it becomes one of Mine Mine no Mi's dials (see Dial smithing).
    • At the Workshop it is the base of the Flame Dial, the Thunder Dial, the Tone Dial and the Sea King Rod Upgrade.
  • Jet Dial (Inventor 36; 7 Dial Fragments, 2 Balloon Catfish; three per craft, stacks to 16): press it and it throws you hard the way you face, with a little lift, and resets your fall so you take no damage from the height already fallen. The dial is used up. Cooldown 3 seconds. It also goes into the Burst Dial.
  • Flame Dial (Inventor 38; Mysterious Dial, Spirit Firefly): Mine Mine no Mi's own Flame Dial, made at the Workshop.
  • Thunder Dial (Inventor 40; Mysterious Dial, Thunder Spider; two per craft, stacks to 16): press it and a lightning bolt strikes where you look, up to 24 blocks away. The dial is used up. Cooldown 3 seconds.
  • Tone Dial (Inventor 44; Mysterious Dial, Note Block, 2 Iron Scrap; stacks to 16): press it on a note block to record that note and instrument, then press it in the air to play it back, loud (three times the volume). It is not used up. Cooldown 1 second. Recording again replaces the last note.

Dial smithing

Mine Mine no Mi makes its dials at a vanilla Smithing Table from a Nautilus Shell. Cruise adds a second recipe for each dial that takes the Mysterious Dial in the shell's place ("An empty dial: at a smithing table, it takes a nautilus shell's place").

  1. Leave the template slot empty.
  2. Put the Mysterious Dial in the base slot.
  3. Put a stack of at least the listed amount of the addition in the addition slot.

The smithing table asks for no Inventor level: anyone holding a Mysterious Dial can do this, but only an Inventor of level 34 or more can make Mysterious Dials. The dials for the Perfect Clima Tact can be made this way. Each dial and what it needs:

Dial Put on a Mysterious Dial
Axe Dial 10 × Flint
Breath Dial 8 × Feather
Eisen Dial 8 × Iron Ingot
Flame Dial 6 × Blaze Powder
Flash Dial 10 × Glowstone Dust
Impact Dial 10 × Gunpowder
Milky Dial 4 × Sky Block

Weapons and ammunition

  • Clima Tact (Inventor 26; 6 Lapis Lazuli, 3 Sticks), Perfect Clima Tact (Inventor 46; Clima Tact, Breath Dial, Milky Dial, Flame Dial, 2 Eisen Dial, 2 Flash Dial) and Sorcery Clima Tact (Inventor 50; Perfect Clima Tact, 8 Gold Ingots) are Mine Mine no Mi's weapons. By default their crafting-table recipes are removed, so only the Inventor makes them; a server can keep the original recipes (see Configuration).
  • Enhanced Bombs (Inventor 42; 6 Gunpowder, 2 Iron Scrap, 1 Coal; four per craft): thrown like a Chemist's ball, a bomb explodes where it lands (power 2). The world's mobGriefing game rule decides whether it breaks blocks. Cooldown 1 second.
  • Blind Spot Cannonball (Inventor 48; 2 Missile Manta Ray, 6 Enhanced Bombs; stacks to 16): a heavier blast (power 3.5). Its smoke blinds everything within about 5 blocks for 0:06, except the thrower.

Level perks

Level Perk What it does
10 "10% chance to save an ingredient" at the Workshop, one ingredient comes back to you 10 % of the time ("Saved: ...")
25 "The tools you make come with Unbreaking I" the tools you make (anything with durability) come with Unbreaking I; a tool that already has Unbreaking keeps its own
40 "25% chance to save an ingredient" the chance to save an ingredient becomes 25 % (it replaces the 10 %); a tool is never among the saved ingredients
