Hi i am a new to modding and am trying to get a item to take damage in the crafting grid.

at the moment i can craft with the item and it takes durability damage but once it takes one durability damage i can not use the item to craft with again.

 

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.asm.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.src.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.src.Item;
import net.minecraft.src.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.src.World;



public class ItemIronPress extends Item{



public ItemIronPress(int id) {
	super(id);
	maxStackSize = 1;
	setMaxDamage(10 - 1);
	setNoRepair();
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    


}

	@Override 
	public boolean doesContainerItemLeaveCraftingGrid(ItemStack itemstack) {

     return false;
     
    }


	@Override
	 public ItemStack getContainerItemStack(ItemStack itemStack) {

	     itemStack.setItemDamage(itemStack.getItemDamage() + 1);
	     
	     	return itemStack;
	     	
	    }

 

Any help that you guys can give is appreciated

Thanks

Change your recipe so that it uses an ItemStack of your crafting tool with a damage value of -1.

Thanks for replying. I have no idea how to do that.

This is my code for the recipe the tool is going to be used in

        GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(carbonDust, 4),
                new Object[] {"i","c",
            Character.valueOf('c'), Item.coal,
            Character.valueOf('i'), ironPress
        });

You can use ItemStacks instead of Items or Blocks in your recipes, so you'd replace

ironPress

with

new ItemStack(ironPress(1, -1)

i have put that in to my code and what i get is an error saying to create a method

ironPress(int, int) when i create the method it doesn't work

 

this is the code for the recipe changed to how u suggested i might not have implemented it properly.

       GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(carbonDust, 4),
                new Object[] {"i","c",
            Character.valueOf('c'), Item.coal,
            Character.valueOf('i'), new ItemStack(ironPress(1, -1))
        });

 

here is the pastebin for the error report i am getting http://pastebin.com/bY9mKtyv

 

thanks again for your help

It should be

new ItemStack(ironpress, 1, -1)

Thank you that worked. but it did present a new problem the tool leaves the crafting table after 10 uses like i want it to but the recipe doesn't reset. so when the tool is go i can still get the carbon dust from the remaining stack of coal.

Never mind that problem is sorted it was just me being a derp and leaving a shapeless recipe in that shouldn't have been.

 

Thanks again for the help much appreciated
