[1.7.10] No idea why this crafting recipe won't work.

[FireController1847]

Does anybody have any idea why this won't work?

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(itemChain, 4), new Object[]{"C","C","", 'C', Items.iron_ingot});

 

I open the crafting table and it will just be in there, without putting anything in the crafting table. I'm trying to make a stick-like formation.

 

C = Iron Ingot

XXX

XXC

XXC

Output = 4 itemChain's

[FireController1847]

How would I be able to make a stick thing where you can put it anywhere in the crafting table? I'd like to work like:

 

XCX

XCX

XXX

and

XXX

XCX

XCX

and so on to work. Is there any way to do that? (I still need an iron to be on top of an iron)

Soooooooooooooo what do I do? Do I do this?

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(itemChain, 4), new Object[]{"C","C"," ", 'C', Items.iron_ingot});

[FireController1847]

Well you didn't explain HOW I was supposed to do it without it being empty. I have NO idea what to do. How do I make a stick like thing and make it work on all sides of the crafting table then?

[FireController1847]

So just...

 

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Items.chainmail_boots, 1), new Object[]{"C C","C C", 'C', itemChain});

 

?

I thought you had to have all three, thanks for the help!

 

And I didn't mean to sound rude, jsuk. I appreciate every person who helps me!

No, they just need to all be the same length.

 

(AFAIK,

"C","C"," ", 'C'

should be fine, as the third one is a single space, bit it would make this 1x2 recipe uncraftable without a crafting table, which would be confusing.)
