Techless: TESSILATION, TIMESPACE & Specialized Armor Branches
A techless guide. Covers techless 1.0.0 on Minecraft 1.21.8.
Beyond mechanical AEGIS plate, Techless layers buff-granting armor sets from early leather and iron upgrades all the way up to five chronomancy-themed endgame suits, paired with dedicated support and elemental staves.
Early Reinforcements and Resonium Gear
Early-game armor upgrades wrap vanilla pieces directly on a crafting grid rather than replacing them outright:
- Leather armor +
Block of Amethyst (4/7/6/4) ->
Apprentice Helmet,
Apprentice Chestplate,
Apprentice Leggings, and
Apprentice Boots - Iron armor +
Copper Ingot (plus two
Leather on helmet and boots) ->
Bronzehide Helmet,
Bronzehide Chestplate,
Bronzehide Leggings, and
Bronzehide Boots - Iron armor +
Iron Ingot ->
Nordguard Helmet,
Nordguard Chestplate,
Nordguard Leggings, and
Nordguard Boots - Iron armor +
Amethyst Shard ->
Featherfire Chestplate and matching pieces, or +
Emerald ->
Verdant Chestplate and matching pieces
Mid-to-late progression adds pure StoneLegion armor such as the
StoneLegion Chestplate (crafted from twenty-four
Ashen powder across the full suit), Infused voidillium armor like the
Infused voidillium Chestplate (
Infused Voidis Ingot plus one
Dragonscale per piece), and Resonium armor (
Resonium Helmet,
Resonium Chestplate,
Resonium Leggings, and
Resonium Boots) built from Netherite pieces,
Resonium Ingot, and a shifter core. Duplicating a
Resonium Upgrade Template with seven
Shattered Resonium and one
Netherite Scrap also lets you convert Netherite tools and the
Diamond Drill into
Resonium Sword,
Resonium Axe, and the
Resonium Drill at a
Smithing Table.
TESSILATION into TIMESPACE and Its Four Splits
Chronomancy armor begins with the TESSILATION suit (
TESSILATION Helmet,
TESSILATION Chestplate,
TESSILATION Leggings, and
TESSILATION Boots): each piece pairs one
Hypertessilated prismarine core with four, seven, six, or four
Hypertessilated primsarine ingot bars (spelling faithful). At a
Smithing Table, those pieces split first into a lightweight ranged option — adding a
Singularity and a
Feather per piece creates
TIMESHOT Helmet,
TIMESHOT Chestplate,
TIMESHOT Leggings, and
TIMESHOT Boots — or into the primary TIMESPACE suit:
TESSILATION Helmet,
TESSILATION Leggings, or
TESSILATION Boots +
Singularity x2 ->
TIMESPACE Helmet,
TIMESPACE Leggings, or
TIMESPACE Boots
TESSILATION Chestplate +
Singularity +
VOIDHEART ->
TIMESPACE Chestplate
Once you hold TIMESPACE armor and
SATIATED Singularity orbs, the
Smithing Table branches into four specialized endgame class suits depending on the third reagent:
- Add
Life gem ->
TIMEGRACE Helmet,
TIMEGRACE Chestplate,
TIMEGRACE Leggings, and
TIMEGRACE Boots (the mod's cleric armor) - Add
Ashen powder ->
TIMEGUARD Chestplate and matching pieces - Add
Soul piece ->
TIMESOUL Chestplate and matching pieces - Add
Blood bottle ->
TIMEWRATH Helmet,
TIMEWRATH Chestplate,
TIMEWRATH Leggings, and
TIMEWRATH Boots (watch the chestplate recipe closely: in the mod's recipes,
TIMEWRATH Chestplate upgrades from a
TIMESPACE Helmet rather than a chestplate, so craft two helmets if you pursue wrath)
Healing Wands and Elemental Staves
Cleric and mage loadouts pair naturally with those suits. Seven
Life Shard drops ("Last life") press into a
Life gem ("Trinkets"), alongside
Stable Life Gem ("Ironheart") and
Absolute Life Gem. Combining three
Gold Ingot, one
Emerald, and an
Absolute Life Gem crafts the
Lesser staff of healing ("Repurpose"), which upgrades with three
Block of Gold and one
Block of Emerald into the
Staff of healing ("Hired hand"), and finally with two
Dawn core, a
Totem of Undying, and a
Singularity into
ATONEMENT. Elemental casters can also fuse an
Amethyst Shard and
Phantasmal essense at a
Smithing Table with
Rune Type Fire,
Rune Type: Water,
Runetypeearth, or
Rune type: air to wield the
Firestaff,
Waterstaff,
Earthstaff, or
Windstaff.
