The Tinkering Table - A way to fully 'Tinker' with your playstyle

The Tinkering Table would be a new block for 1.21 which would allow the user to change and 'Tinker' with parts of their kit, including their weapons and maybe even their tools.

Maybe a new resource could be added, something which you need to 'Tinker' with objects.

This basic concept can go anywhere, but here are some ideas I came up with:

Weapon Tinkering

this allows the player to change aspects of the weapons they hold, example:

A Sword might be able to have multiple attributes changed into different tinkered forms

Maybe you can make a Sword heavier, allowing for slower but stronger swings while nerfing durability or knockback

Or maybe you can make it super light, allowing much faster but weaker attacks with much more KB (like 1.8)

Maybe you can turn weapons into double handed weapons, meaning no shield but a large boost in damage. Allowing you to create variations on the same weapon would bring new life to combat

Tool Tinkering

In a similar vein what if we could do the same but for tools?

Maybe you can make a pickaxe that is only good at mining deepslate but cant mine ores

or have an axe that cuts down trees easier with more durability but in exchange for much less damage

Maybe you can modify a hoe into a scythe for more combat options

the possibilities are endless, the simple concept of a tinkering block could be a small fun addition to a game changing one depending on how you go with it

which is why i think it should be in 1.21

    Regardless of how this idea is implemented, weapons and tools in Minecraft need much more variation!

    If this feature is added, I would probably expect a villager profession to go with it; perhaps a 'craftsman' which can modify tools at a cost of 5-7 emeralds, thus providing a way to basic tool tinkering early-game? (The tier of tools the craftsman modifies goes up with its level, perhaps.) The craftsman could also buy spare sticks and raw material to increase its level.

    Also, could the making of the Tinkering Table be a bit more expensive, or even found only in structures? The tinkering table should only be available mid-game, (say, the player having full iron tools and going to the Nether) so that the default tools with balanced attributes could be used longer.

    Good idea.

    This is a spectacular idea! With the announcement of the confirming of the bundle being fully implemented, meaning the developing team is still hard at work on future 1.21 updates, this would fit right in! I think the community would love this feature.
