TL;DR: How much work would it be to have Mekanism advertise the metals it provides such that Tinkers Construct will automatically include support for them?

I'm working on a modpack that contains both Mek and TC, and I've found that without the TC config setting registerAllItems=true, TC does not recognize that Mek is providing Tin and Copper, so , for example, the tin and copper variants of the tool forge are not available to craft, among many other issues.

If it could also support Osmium as part of this integration work, that would be even better.

If someone wanted to submit a TC support pull request I'd consider merging it, but in the meantime I have too many other issues to look at.

It should automatically register them (TiC catches oredict event for that). Wonder what's the bug is.

Created pull request #4465 to fix this issue.

@aidancbrady @laz2727 @BrianEdmonds The reason why they are not automatically registered is that

you are registering them [to the oredict] in init, whereas they are supposed to be registered in preInit. This is causing problems with other mods which depend on the oredicts, such as Tinkers Construct.

The same problem occurs with your copper, tin, and bronze.

(I discovered this problem early on when working on my addon mod PlusTiC and adding Mekanism integration, and had to manually register the metals as a workaround.)
