[1.16.5] Removing vanilla recipes that use Forge tags

[Sinu]

I've been trying to remove several vanilla recipes and realized the ones I am trying to remove don't work because they use tags by Forge.
For example, I can easily remove the Melon recipe but I can't remove Fishing Rod recipe.

I copied over the file from vanilla datapack and put it in data.minecraft.recipes with the same naming format (for example: melon.json or fishing_rod.json) and changed the output to air and it does not work for the Fishing Rod recipe. This is also true for other recipes that use tags by Forge.

I also read this forum post from a while back:

But I am not understanding how this user was able to replace Forge recipes.
Here is vanilla fishing_rod.json file: https://hatebin.com/zqhejklbgm
Here is my fishing_rod.json file put in data.minecraft.recipes: https://hatebin.com/quqkzvlrhj

Do you mean that I am putting Forge as my dependency and setting "ordering" to AFTER? If so, would it look like this?

[[dependencies.forge]]
    modId="forge"
    mandatory=true
    versionRange="[36,)"
    ordering="NONE"
    side="BOTH"

(not 100% sure how to reference Forge as my dependency. Assuming it's just "dependencies.forge")

Could you guide me on how I can do that? The only mods.toml file I was able to find was inside my own mod in META-INF folder.

[Sinu]

From my understanding, the MDK is where the gradle is setup and all its subfolders? I looked in there and I couldn't find anything.

[Sinu]

Right, I have looked in there. Not exactly sure what I am looking for other than mods.toml file.

[Sinu]

So we are talking about the mods.toml inside META-INF folder? Ex: Projects\Minecraft\Brimheim\src\main\resources\META-INF. This is the only mods.toml I can find inside my MDK.
But what am I adding dependency of? I get that I need to set the "ordering" to AFTER but what am I setting the "ordering" of? Forge??

[Sinu]

Right. I get that. But what is my "dependencies"? [[dependencies.???]] my own mod ID?? I know its definitely not examplemod.

I did:
[[dependencies.brimheim]]
    modId="forge"
    mandatory=true
    versionRange="[36,)"
    ordering="AFTER"
    side="BOTH"

Is that correct?

Well I can still craft the Fishing Rod even after I changed it.

For the String and Rods (sticks)?

[Sinu]

I have no idea what you mean either. Can you be more specific? Which json file are you talking about?

[Sinu]

All the ones in data.forge.tags?

[Sinu]

How will that fix my crafting issues with fishing_rod.json file when it doesn't even use/reference any tags I added in that folder?

[Sinu]

So you just downloaded my source code and loaded it up and it doesn't allow you to create the Fishing Rod? I can still craft it and I uploaded exactly as is and I haven't touched it.
