So for my mod, I have added some custom food. Example I've added Apple Juice. For the shapeless recipe I have for crafting apple juice is a Blender, and an Apple, which works with 1 problem. I want the blender to be returned to me after crafting the apple juice so it only takes the apple, without needing to craft another blender, how can I do this? I am fairly good at understanding coding, sometimes just gets a bit confusing, especially when it's something I do not know how to do. Thanks everyone who takes the time to read this and help me out.

What you want is the container item system.

 

For simple items that don't use metadata/NBT, call

Item#setContainerItem

to set the

Item

that will replace the item when it's consumed in a crafting recipe.

 

For more complex items or custom logic, override

Item#hasContainerItem(ItemStack)

to return

true

when the item has a container item and

Item#getContainerItem(ItemStack)

to return the

ItemStack

that will replace the item when it's consumed in a crafting recipe.

Okay and one more thing, how do I set it so when it returns the ItemStack, how do I make it so it knows that ItemStack is the blender?

Item#hasContainerItem(ItemStack) / Item#getContainerItem(ItemStack) are part of the blender.  The blender tells the crafting table that its container item stack is itself.  This isn't a recipe thing, this is an ingredient thing.

Okay here is a pastebin of what I have, but am still confused on how to get it to work. I do appreciate the help though.
