This guy on youtube has a great series to follow along with if you learn visually. I did already know Java prior and you will need to know it as well, but the series was great to get familiar with modding in minecraft in particular! Turtywurty on youtube

// ------------- Custom recipes // you can even register your own custom IRecipe class to match complicated inputs - see for example RecipeFireworks // There are a few useful vanilla recipes and Serializers you can base your Recipe on // eg AbstractCookingRecipe, SpecialRecipe and SpecialRecipeSerializer // or go the whole hog and write your own. Lots of vanilla inspiration to keep you on the right track. // All you need to do is register your serializer (assuming you know how to use @SubscribeEvent) // @SubscribeEvent // public void registerRecipeSerializers(RegistryEvent.Register<IRecipeSerializer<?>> event) { // event.getRegistry().register(yourRecipeSerializer); // } -TGG

Would you like to show us your code so we can actually diagnose the problem with little to no guesswork?

Implement IRecipe (or subclass an existing implementation) and register a serializer with the Forge registry system.

No, use the game directory setting in your launcher. It's more then just the mods that should be changed between setups.
