Hey there, to cut to the chase I would like to make my item (steel) compatible with Gregtech's steel, so people using my mod could use it for those recipes too (or other mods as well)

 

How do I make it possible to do that?

 

Thanks a lot

If GregTech uses the OreDictionary, it will work. Here is a tutorial for you: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/How_to_use_the_ore_dictionary

I read the ore dictionary thing, and added 2 of my custom additions (Steel (item) and Bauxite (block)) and when I run it alongside other mods that use the 2 things in the OreDictionary:

ingotSteel and oreBauxite it doesn't allow me to use my items in the recipes... here is the code I added:

 

 

public static void oreRegistration()

{

OreDictionary.registerOre("ingotSteel", new ItemStack(Steel));

OreDictionary.registerOre("oreBauxite", new ItemStack(Bauxite));

}

 

 

 

which is exactly how the tutorial you linked me said (And yes this is in the @Init statement)

Forget my idiocy, I forgot to add this:

oreRegistration();
