I'm trying to use flint as part of a recipie, but I can't find the documentation on how to use an item not in the ore dictionary.

 

The current recipie I have is as follows

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ShapelessOreRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.adaptiveIgnitorBlack), "dfi", 'd', "dyeBlack", 'f', "ItemFlint", 'i', "ingotIron"));

Ah, thanks.

 

I'm just starting modding, so I didn't know how to call non oreDic items in any recipie.

And it still breaks. I'm not missing something with how I'm using the dyes, am I?

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ShapelessOreRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.adaptiveIgnitorBlack), "dfi", 'd', "dyeBlack", 'f', "Items.flint", 'i', "ingotIron"));

You sure about that?

and, more specifically, no quotes on what part?

Ah, gotcha.

This is where the whole "first time modder" bit really sucks.

 

and it still doesn't work. recipie is now

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ShapelessOreRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.adaptiveIgnitorBlack), "dfi", 'd', "dyeBlack", 'f', Items.flint, 'i', "ingotIron"));

Hi

 

This is where the whole "first time modder" bit really sucks.

yes, so true.

 

Since I am still a newbie too, I don't know if I am right, but I currently use

GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(ItemStack, Object... args)

Where the itemStack the result is (metadata and quantity set) and the args-object is a so-called variable argument list, containing ItemStacks of ingredients (again, metadata and quantity sensitive).

 

But all this code is at least for 1.7.10 and I do absolutely know nothing about 1.8...

 

Hope this was helpful

Sincerely -pick

I was being stupid. You are using the format for a Shaped recipe, but are using ShapelessOreRecipe. That makes no sense.

 

Oh, yeah, that could be a problem.

Fixed it, thanks
