Material Stats

When crafting tools in Tinkers' Construct, the material you make each part out of changes the final tool's stats.

The head, handle and "extra" (bindings, guards and knife blades) determine the durability of the tool and contribute a Material Trait. The handle also has an additional multiplier that the total durability of the tool will be multiplied against. The head of the tool determines attack damage, mining level and mining speed. Tools are repaired by the element their head is made of.

The following is a table of each material and its stats for a given tool part:

Material	Head Durability	Extra Durability	Handle Durability	Handle Modifier	Mining Level	Mining Speed	Attack Value	Head Traits	Extra/Handle Traits
