Hello, I have a translation of es-419, how can I send it to you?

I am using this mod on my server for v1.19.7 and it works. Can you describe the issue you are seeing and file an issue ticket with your client and server logs?
metaltongs_1.1.3.zip not work for v 1.19.1

Awesome, thank you! :)

Sure, just launch the game with the new version and check your ModConfig directory for MetalTongs.json; you should be able to set TongsUsageConsumesDurability to false.
Hey, I'm still playing on version 1.1.0 and before I update I want to ask a question - is there a config where I can completely remove the durability of the tongs? I quite like them just acting like cosmetic versions of the primitive tongs

Fixed now with version 1.1.2.
Let me know if it breaks again after updating. I am going to run new version on our server and try it out; did testing in singleplayer.

I'll get it fixed here in the next hour or so. I see how Dana is handling it with events; I need to drop the patching and do similar with damage over time to tongs.
It appears this is incompatible with No Heat Resistant Inventory, as it just breaks the tongs as soon as you pick up a crucible
TeacupAngel Thanks, fair enough.

They do if you use this mod. From the latest change log: "Patch vanilla tongs to have durability of 125"
You can turn durability usage off if you want to, but why else upgrade to better tongs?
Cool addition, but why durability? Wooden tongs doesnt have that..Not logical for me.
I could see these having utility beyond holding hot items, perhaps a very slight reach and/or item magnetization range bonus while in off hand based on the tier of the item?
May we have the option of defining a base time for wooden tongs to expire due to wear from use over time, and assign a multiplier for different tool tiers based on that? Otherwise from a functional perspective, these are only aesthetic.

Sorry about that, should be fixed now for v1.0.1.
Hey, thanks for the mod.
I've ran into an issue though: there seems to be no smithing recipe for iron tong arms. Only iron, cause there is one for arms from other metals. Perhaps it's an issue with my set of mods, but I thought I'd mention it here anyway.
Good luck.
