Requesting explanation of recipe handlers

[dualinfinities]

You all know about that new mod Avaritia, right? I was poking around on the FTB subreddit when I saw people were putting the initial release in packs to heavily gate things they considered OP behind DireCrafting. So I thought about it and figured people might want to have that functionality without the implied OPness of Avaritia and started on a mod. Just one problem - this requires custom recipe creation which I find confusing and which is not documented anywhere I know of. So could someone who knows about this stuff explain it to me? I'm not looking for code handouts, I'd never grow as a modder if i did that.

its hard to answer the question "how does this work" try to specify ur question please

Somehow didn't notice IRecipe, it does seem fairly easy to understand. Thanks!1

CraftingManager seems... complicated. Should I just extend it and modify that subclass, or would that cause some weird issue?

You shouldn't need to touch

CraftingManager

if all you're doing is creating a custom recipe type. Just implement the

IRecipe

interface and add instances of your recipe class using

GameRegistry.addRecipe(IRecipe)

.
