Before creating recipes, we suggest you read Basic Item first in order to understand this tutorial.
Basics
Let's create a recipe for our wand, which we added in basic items tutorial.
Ingredient Pattern
Let's begin by declaring the pattern or layout of the recipe, in our example we'll want the player to place a pickaxe on top of 2 sticks
which would look like this:
ingredientPattern: "P S S",
width: 1,
height: 3,
P
and S
are identifiers which will be defined later. Every row is separated with a tab, while an empty cell is mark with an underscore _
. The width
of this recipe is 1
and it is 3
rows high.
Ingredients
All we need to do now, is to define the identifiers we have used before. In our example P
stands for a copper pickaxe and S
for an ordinary stick.
ingredients: {
"P": { type: "item", code: "pickaxe-copper"},
"S": { type: "item", code: "stick"}
},
Type
is either block
or item
depending whether it's an item or a block.
In order to find out the code
of each item (or block), you can type .edi
into console, which will add the code property to the tooltip:
Furthermore, we could add a required quantity to our ingredients, so instead of one stick per slot we could make it require more:
ingredients: {
"P": { type: "item", code: "pickaxe-copper"},
"S": { type: "item", code: "stick", quantity: 2}
},
Another thing we could do is instead of consuming the pickaxe, we could use it as a tool:
ingredients: {
"P": { type: "item", code: "pickaxe-copper", isTool: true},
"S": { type: "item", code: "stick"}
},
This would cause the pickaxe to lose one durability during crafting, instead of consuming the whole pickaxe at once.
Output
We still need to define the output, which is rather similar to defining the ingredients:
output: { type: "item", code: "wand-pickaxe"}
Theoretically we could add the quantity
property here as well.
Distributing
This is how our final recipe looks like:
{
ingredientPattern: "P S S",
width: 1,
height: 3,
ingredients: {
"P": { type: "item", code: "pickaxe-copper"},
"S": { type: "item", code: "stick"}
},
output: { type: "item", code: "wand-pickaxe"}
}
In order to add those crafting recipes to your mod, you have to create another folder in your workspace assets/myadvancedwand/recipes/grid/
and copy the files in there.
You can download the full mod including the items here.
Advanced
Type based recipes
There are more complicated things you can do with recipes. This the recipe for wooden planks which are crafted out of logs:
{
ingredientPattern: "L",
ingredients: {
"L": { type: "block", code: "log-*-ud", name: "wood" }
},
width: 1,
height: 1,
output: { type: "block", code: "planks-{wood}", quantity: 4 }
}
Instead of having a recipe for every wood type, you can assign a name to an ingredient (in this case it is name: "wood"
) and everything identified by *
will later on replaced be for the output. Meaning {wood}
will be replaced by the type of the giving log.
For example if we would have a birch log block, its code would be log-birch-ud
, so *
would stand for birch
, therefore the output will be converted from code: "planks-{wood}"
to code: "planks-birch"
.
