Hi, I'm trying to make some crafting using oredictionary names; this is my code:

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ShapedOreRecipe(new ItemStack(ItemManager.pickaxeRexalite, 1), "ZXX"," Y ","HYK", 'X', "ingotRexalite", 'Y', Items.stick, 'Z', ( new ItemStack (ItemManager.plate, 1, 3)), 'H', "hammer", 'K', "file"));

The problems stay in the fact that hammers and files get damage during crafting and the crafting works only the first time.

I Used to use

OreDictionary.WILDCARD_VALUE

but now I don't know how to use it.

Can someone help me?

 

You are assuming that every mod that adds hammers and files wants them to remain on the crafting grid and allows them to be damaged. While this is probably a safe assumption, you should be aware that it IS an assumption and your mod will not necessarily work 100% of the time.

 

Anyway, I think your recipe should work so long as the hammer and file items were registered correctly to the ore dictionary, i.e. using the WILDCARD_VALUE.

 

Otherwise you may have to retrieve all of the hammer and file items from the OreDictionary and iterate over each one to manually adjust the damage value to WILDCARD_VALUE and registering a recipe with that, but that doesn't seem like a very optimal solution.

First of all thanks for the reply.

Can you suggest me a better solution?
