So I'm Adding in A lot of blocks that are all colors of dye. They have a meta data tag after their Item ID they are crafted with dye how can I read the meta data from the dye in the crafting table and assign it to a variable that can be inserted into the meta Data of the output of the recipe.

 

I currently have this

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 0), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,0)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 1), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,1)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 2), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,2)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 3), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,3)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 4), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,4)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 5), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,5)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 6), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,6)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 7), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,7)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 8 ), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 9), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,9)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 10), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,10)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 11), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,11)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 12), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,12)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 13), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,13)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 14), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,14)});

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , 15), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,15)});

 

I would like to condense all this into one line

i would be the varible from the meta data of the dye

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockA, 8 , i), new Object[]{"LLL","LDL","LLL", 'L', new ItemStack(BlockB,, 'D', new ItemStack(Items.dye,1,i)});

 

How about a for loop?

Thank you i Got it to work with a for loop
