Tinkerer's Smithing

<!--suppress HtmlDeprecatedTag, XmlDeprecatedElement -->

A sentimental and convenient gear crafting rebalance.
Server-side, but with some extra polish (and better EMI support) on the client.
Requires Connector and FFAPI on forge.

Tinkerer's Smithing is a data-driven equipment crafting rebalance that:

• Allows repairing every vanilla item that has durability for no level cost (even fishing rods)
• Allows upgrading all tools and armor between material tiers (even chainmail)
• Encourages gradually improving your first set of tools and armor with materials and enchantments
• Makes all the enchanted treasure you find lying around actually useful
• Forgoes nerfing or removing mending or table-grindstone enchanting by instead buffing everything else
• Balances all of its recipe types on the vanilla cost of equipment
