how should i make an item that stays after it is used like a lava bucket

[Jdb100]

hi i am having trouble making a item stay in the crafting table after it is used in a recipe. Help Please?

 

Examples: philosopher's stone from EE or handsaw from Redpower 2

If you want to make something like EE's PS or RP's handsaw you need a custom recipe. Take a look at IRecipe interface.

 

If you want to make something like a lava bucket you have to set the container item in the item. I don't remember the right method, but you can see it in lava bucket declaration.

People post this question so much I feel like it needs to be in the tutorials section. I'll probably add it later, but in the mean time, here is your answer.

I never read this, but this is EXACTLY how i do my non-consumed recipe ingredients. Seems it is probably the easiest way.
