Hi everyone,

I'm writing on my first mod and i want to make smelting recipe that uses a waterbucket.

I want to make salt out of water and my problem is i can't figure out how i can how i can get an empty bucket back when the melting is finished.

I put the waterbucket into the furnace and as soon as the melting is finished i get the salt but the bucket is gone.

I have a crafting recipe and there it works.

 

I hope anybody of you can help me

 

Maybe you can override a little more of the process and just manually add a bucket to the players inventory as a workaround?

that or make your salt have sub items, and one of them is "bucket of salt" which has an onUpdate function that when it's in a player's inventory will turn into salt, and give an empty bucket.

 

So smelt water bucket -> salt bucket -> salt + bucket

 

salt is damage value of 0

salt bucket is damage value of 1

 

onUpdate()

if (itemstack.getitemDamage == 1)

{

consume salt bucket, add salt, and add bucket

}

 

EDIT:

Thinking about it now, no need to consume the salt bucket, just set it's damage to 0, which is salt.

so

if (itemstack.getItemDamage() == 1)

{

itemstack.setitemdamage(0);

player.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(new itemstack(items.bucket));

}

 

that is the rough idea.
