[1.7.2] Using Dyes in Crafting Recipes

[Infernal_Ignus]

In the mod I'm making I want to use some dyes in a crafting recipe, but since there are no longer item IDs I need the right ID names to use. When I tried looking this up all I could find is minecraft:dye for all of the dyes. So does anyone know what to use for, lapis, cactus green and bonemeal?

This is all I use:

 

new ItemStack(Item.getItemById(351), 1, 4)

 

351 being for dyes and the 4 for the metadata. In this case it is lapis.

I'm not using item IDs though. What I'm confused about is how to put the metadata in the code. What I tried was Item.itemRegistry.getObject("dye:4") but that didn't work

[loawkise]

Ahh right, sorry, I misunderstood.

[Infernal_Ignus]

Yah thats why I'm confused, if I was using item IDs I probably could've found out how to do this online, but I couldn't find anything for the ID names

I'm trying to use dyes as crafting components, not the final result of the crafting. Can I still use an ItemStack constructor?

Um...why don't you use new ItemStack(Items.dye, 1, x) were x is the metadata value of the dye you want. Or use OreDictionary names and use "dyeColor" (ex "dyeRed", "dyeBlue", etc)

It worked. Thanks for the help
