[1.7.10] Getting the lists of recipes for arbitrary machines

[Nephroid]

Hello all. Is there a way to get the list of recipes for any machine? I know that vanilla smelting recipes are stored in

FurnaceRecipes

and crafting recipes are stored in

CraftingManager

, but I don't know where to find the recipes for a non-vanilla machine (e.g. a pulverizer from Thermal Expansion).

 

To be more precise, I want to write a function,

getRecipes(ItemStack [b]i[/b])

, such that if

[b]i[/b]

is a machine that has recipes associated with it,

getRecipes

will return that list of recipes.

 

It seems like this is possible, since NEI is able to list the recipes for machines from many mods.

 

Of course, hard coding is a solution, but that's probably not the best way of doing it.

Good f*sking luck with that.

 

Every mod is going to store their own machine's recipes in their own classes.

 

For the mod I'm doing, that's one class (with several getters).  For other mods, it might be many classes.  For Thermal Expansion, download their API.

The only reason NEI is able to do that, is because those mod authors integrate with NEI by using the NEI API and creating their own 'plugins'.

 

Perhaps if there was a standardised IMachine interface this would be possible (obviously with the interface intended for TileEntities), however then you get the problem of getting the list of recipes back in that method, since not every mod keeps their recipes stored as IRecipe.

 

I suggest getting all the APIs and/or dev versions of the mods, and simply integrating with each one individually.

I certainly haven't been.  It's a 1:1 input:output in terms of ItemStacks.  Kind of like the furnace.  Stack of A becomes a Stack of B, so I've just been storing it as a HashTable<ItemStack,ItemStack>.

This is exactly why support for every individual mod is needed to do something like this.

 

Off-topic: Any reason you're using a HashTable over a HashMap?

[Draco18s]

Oh, it is a HashMap.  Heh.

[Draco18s]

Makes since.  I was largely working off how the Furnace recipes worked, but yeah, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that way.
