Disable Items through config

[Lexjp]

Hi, I've created a couple items, recipes, and blocks that I would like to be able to enable and disable with my mod config.

How do I disable these in a clean way? I'm unsure what the best practice here would be, and particularly lost on how to disable recipes. Would love a point in the right direction


Simplified versions of my implementation of config/registers are below if useful
ModBlocks.Java

public static final RegistryObject<Block> TIN_ORE_DEEPSLATE = registerBlock("tin_ore_deepslate",
            () -> new DropExperienceBlock(BlockBehaviour
                    .Properties.of(Material.STONE)
                    .strength(3f)
                    .requiresCorrectToolForDrops(), UniformInt.of(3,7)));
  
private static <T extends Block> RegistryObject<T> registerBlock(String name, Supplier<T> block) {
        RegistryObject<T> toReturn = BLOCKS.register(name, block);
        registerBlockItem(name, toReturn);
        return toReturn;
    }

    private static <T extends Block> RegistryObject<Item> registerBlockItem(String name, RegistryObject<T> block) {
        return ModItems.ITEMS.register(name, () -> new BlockItem(block.get(), new Item.Properties()));
    }


    public static void register(IEventBus eventBus) {
        BLOCKS.register(eventBus);
    }

ModItems.java
 

public static final RegistryObject<Item> TIN_RAW = ITEMS.register("tin_raw", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties()));

    public static void register(IEventBus eventBus) {
        ITEMS.register(eventBus);
    }

main

	IEventBus modEventBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus();

        ModLoadingContext.get().registerConfig(ModConfig.Type.COMMON, GrassblockEssentialsCommonConfig.SPEC, "mymod-common.toml");
        
        ModItems.register(modEventBus);
        ModBlocks.register(modEventBus);

        modEventBus.addListener(this::commonSetup);

        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);

        modEventBus.addListener(this::addCreative);

commonconfig

public class CommonConfig {
    public static final ForgeConfigSpec.Builder BUILDER = new ForgeConfigSpec.Builder();
    public static final ForgeConfigSpec SPEC;

    public static final ForgeConfigSpec.ConfigValue<Boolean> TIN_ENABLED;

    static{
        BUILDER.push("My Mod Config");

        TIN_ENABLED = BUILDER.comment("Enable Ore Types").define("Tin Enabled", true);

        BUILDER.pop();
        SPEC = BUILDER.build();
    }
}

Don't. There's a number of issues that can occur when attempting to disable a particular feature. You should either leave the configuration up to the user through the datapack to disable specific recipes or ore generation. Alternatively if this is really necessary, you could use the config with a conditional on the given feature placement and the recipe conditions.

I'm a bit lost on how to use the datapack to disable ore gen / recipes. Any resources you could point me to?

I can point you to the Minecraft wiki as, like I said, a user playing your mod can simply disable the recipes and ore generation themselves through a datapack. If someone really wants to disable your stuff, there is already a way to do so without your intervention.
