Modding:Content Tutorial Simple Recipe: Difference between revisions

When it comes to creating recipes, you do not want to have to create 9 seperate recipes where each one accepts a different hammer, so you can use a ''wildcard.'' A wildcard allows a modder to group all these objects together using an asterisk ( '''*''' ) in its code property. By using '<nowiki/>''hammer-*'<nowiki/>'', the game allows any object who's code begins with '<nowiki/>''hammer-''<nowiki/>' to be valid for this recipe. Note that you should still include the hyphen in the code, as using '<nowiki/>''hammer*''' will result in being able to use any hammer and also any hammer''head'' items.  

There are a number of extra properties that can be included within recipes to make them slightly more complex. One such property is the '<nowiki/>''isTool''' property. Without this property, the hammer will disappear when the block is created. By marking the hammer as a tool, the recipe simple uses a single durability point, but the hammer remains.
