I am trying to override a create recipe, but it doesn't work.

[Drai]

Hi, Me and a Friend have been trying to override a create mod recipe, but we can never seem to get it to work. I have tested if the recipe is valid, and it is, but when I place it in the right folder to override the original one, it doesn't work. I've got my mod set to load before create, and I have tried making it load after create too. Could someone take a look and suggest something I could change? At this point I am just thinking of overriding the recipe in the code instead. https://github.com/StijnArts/Pixelmon-Create-Compat

• Your build.gradle is missing the dependency on create, so I can't test this.

How do I add that dependency? I am still very new to modding minecraft.

For whatever reason this doesn't work, and I don't know what I am doing wrong because I am not getting any errors when I build it. Do you see anything I am doing wrong?

[Drai]

I added the dependency correctly this time, could you take a look?

[Drai]

Just fixed that, it took some trial and error but I realized it was just a stupid oversight so now it should work.

[Drai]

I think I found the issue, and its really stupid. Sorry for wasting your time.

[Drai]

Okay, something weird is happening. my recipe is overriding the create recipe as it should in the testing environment, but if I copy the exact same mods and a jar version of my mod to a multimc testing environment, it no longer overrides it. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

[Drai]

I have tried both before and after, sorry I should've specified. 

[Drai]

I agree, which is why I find it strange that it doesn't. Could my other dependency be interfering with it? Also, is my mods.toml being used at all? I have tried removing the create mod and it gave me the dependency missing error, but loading it in a fresh profile in multimc still doesn't give me the desired result.

 

Also, should I be rebuilding my gradle every time I change my mods.toml?

Okay, So additional info: it only worked in testing in a very specific instance: 

Remove my mod -> launch the game -> create a world -> close the game -> add my mod -> launch the game and open the world. Though this only works one time.

The mods that are loaded during testing are:

flywheel 0.2.5

Create 0.3.2g

JEI 7.7.1.152

Pixelmon Mod 9.0.1

Pixelmon Create Compat (My mod)
