blocks in recipies.

[firstarchon]

I'm trying to add a recipe that uses obsidian but I can't seem to figure out how to do that.

this is what I have

package com.FirstArchon.RedStoneium.init;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.oredict.OreDictionary;
import net.minecraftforge.oredict.ShapedOreRecipe;
import net.minecraftforge.oredict.ShapelessOreRecipe;

public class Recipies

{
public static void init()
{
	GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ShapedOreRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.RedDiamondGem), "ror ", "rdr", "ror ", 'r', "dustRedstone", 'd', "gemDiamond", 'o', new ItemBlock(Block.obsidian)));

	//GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ShapelessOreRecipe());

}
}

my main problem is I'm not really sure how tell it what o is when o is a block in item form. I did a few Google searches and it didn't turn up anything particularly helpful. could someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

This is an example from one of my crafting recipes. Declare the item/block first

 

ItemStack purpleIngot = new ItemStack(ModItems.purpleIngot);
ItemStack stick = new ItemStack(Items.stick);

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.purpleAxe), "xx ", "xy ", " y ",
                'x', purpleIngot, 'y', stick);

 

Update:

 

Getting obsidian for a recipe.

Should be functional for your recipe.

 

ItemStack obsidian = new ItemStack(Blocks.obsidian);
ItemStack redDiamondGem = new ItemStack(ModItems.RedDiamondGem);
ItemStack redStoneDust = new ItemStack(Items.redstone);

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack((ModItems.RedDiamondGem), "ror", "rdr", "ror",
'r', redStoneDust, 'd', redDiamondGem, 'o', obsidian));

[firstarchon]

as I understand it Blocks.obsidian is the block(like the block when it is placed in the world) and I need the way to refer to the itemblock obsidian (the item in your inventory)

[J-Nutz]

That is all not needed.

The last example you gave is equivalent to this:

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.RedDiamondGem),
        "ror",
        "rdr",
        "ror",
        'r', Items.redstone, 'd', ModItems.RedDiamondGem, 'o', Blocks.obsidian));

 

I realize that, I just do it that way so when I want to use those Items in other recipes, I have them available.

Item stacks (and thus recipes) already do the conversion.

[firstarchon]

how would I change a recipe to create multiple outputs (like a diamond block into 9 diamonds?)

In the itemstack for the output you put the quantity of the item.

Okay, let me explain every bit of this to you.

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ITEM, QUANTITY, META-DATA), "123", "456", "789", '1', ITEM/BLOCK, etc...);

ITEM = The item OR block you wish to add.

QUANTITY = Amount of that item OR block.

META-DATA = Meta-data of the item and or block

"123", "456", "789" = Corresponding on the crafting grid. 1 = left, 2 = mid, 3 = right. Each seperate one is a new line. Ex 456 is in the middle and 789 is on the bottom.

'1', ITEM/BLOCK = You need one of these for every (different) character in the recipe. The second part is the item or block it stands for.

 

Ex:

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Items.stick, 3), "121", "131", "121", '1', Blocks.wood, '2', Items.diamond, '3', Items.carrot);

This will make a recipe for 3 stick by using wood, diamonds, and carrots. Just place them in the order shown.

 

The recipe to make this is now:

TOP: Wood, Diamond, Wood

MIDDLE: Wood, Carrot, Wood

BOTTOM: Wood, Diamond, Wood

You told him how to do it a bit better than me.

All though I was trying to refrain from doing that and having him research it himself. I mean theres tons of tutorials for this.
