Good morning,

so I'm currently in the process of converting my recipes to DataGeneration(1.7.x to 1.16.x).

In the past I would simply copypasta groups of code blocks, primarily due to laziness and lack of time. I want to change that, and if it's just to render my code a little bit more professionell. 

I remember in the past you could "group up" item types by calling their material, but no matter how much I'm trying to convert this method, and browsing the Forge/MC Snapshot files, I don't think this method is available any more(correct me if I'm wrong). So, in code, here's what I mean:

 

//I want to turn this...
ShapelessRecipeBuilder.shapelessRecipe(
	Items.STRING)
          .addIngredient(Items.WHITE_WOOL, 2)
          .addCriterion("has_wool", hasItem(Items.WHITE_WOOL)).build(consumer);

ShapelessRecipeBuilder.shapelessRecipe(
	Items.STRING)
          .addIngredient(Items.BLACK_WOOL, 2)
          .addCriterion("has_wool", hasItem(Items.BLACK_WOOL)).build(consumer);
//...into something like this...
ShapelessRecipeBuilder.shapelessRecipe(
	Items.STRING)
          .addIngredient((any)ItemType(of).WOOL, 2)
          .addCriterion("has_wool", hasItem((any)ItemType(of).WOOL)).build(consumer);
	

 

Material, ItemType, or an ItemArray, what would you recommend? I'd need that info to actually browse the correct files.

Utilizing tags it needs an IItemProvider?

Some of the recipe methods, like .smeltingRecipe(), won't compile without casting an IItemProvider argument in front of ItemTags.WOOL.

Let me see if it does what's proposed.

Can I even nest a for loop into the .smeltingRecipe() method?

And I don't know how to loop through ItemTags. Unfortunately a List.array would only work for strings. DF!
